Name That Trauma :: Reader Adie S. on Humans Hanging From Hooks

There's a movie I have been trying to find out what it is for probably 10 years now at least. I only remember one scene, as I was only 4 at the time so that would've been 1991/1992. It was in colour and I'm sure it was a movie and was on TV or video, so I believe it would've been from the '80s (I know, doesn't help.)

The scene I remember was I believe the beginning of the movie, a big mechanical device was in the middle of the floor in a large room, the device was a huge metal pillar leading up to the ceiling, at the top it had 'branches' (metal poles coming out toward the walls) which had humans hanging from the end of them on hooks, and if I remember correctly, the device was spinning the branches around the room.

A person fell from one of them and I remember it was a black guy; then the camera zoomed into him, and he was facing away from it. He turned his head to the camera and had a face with what you would imagine a demon looks like.

I have seen some gifs which I believe are from the movie, but cannot find them now, they are of demon-like creatures.

All I know is that a lot of people thought it was HELLRAISER, as the demons did look rather like cenobites to be honest, but I know for certain it wasn't any HELLRAISER as I am a big fan of HELLRAISER.

Please if anybody gets reminded of the intro or even just a random scene like this, help me out. I've been dying to know for years.

Thank you,
