Hellraiser: Revenge of the Nerds

In this horrifying mathematics-related Hellraiser spin-off movie, a Rubik’s Cube being solved would bring forth the Algebrites, a bunch of math nerds with pocket protectors and thick glasses (like from Revenge of the Nerds: maybe even the same ones, and this is their ultimate revenge!) would appear and take the puzzle solver away to mathematics hell, where they’d be tortured and tormented with word problems and algebra exams (!). And based upon our nation’s math and science performance in schools these days, this would be one horrifying film indeed! Everybody’s all used to blood and guts and gore by now, but the endless torment of complex mathematics: now that’s sheer stark terror for today’s youth!
