Firstly, I have to admit that I honestly thought that the Hellraiser series had died off with a bit of a whimper after Hellraiser V, so was delighted to find out that they had made an additional three movies that I had missed out on somehow. So, sitting down with a bag off chocolate peanuts and a litre of Diet coke (yeah, one wipes out the other) I got ready to enjoy a much needed and long awaited Pinhead fix, anticipating a forthcoming Cenobite slaughter of the not quite so innocent box openers searching for the ultimate pleasure/pain experience that they could not find in reality.
The movie basically takes up the story of Trevor (played by Dean Winters) after he survives a crash with his girlfriend Kirsty (Yes the very same Ashley Laurence from the early Hellraiser films). However, he soon begins to doubt his own sanity when he starts to see missing memory sequences and visions that make little sense to him. And when the Police start to question him about the lack of Kirsty's corpse - which was missing from the car when dragged from the river - the finger of suspicion begins to point at himself. Is he dreaming, insane or something far worse ?
My own issues with this movie are basically that pretty much from the start you can guess what has happened to Trevor from the choppy flashback sequences, so the ending is really not that much of a surprise - though Kirsty's revelation of her talk with Pinhead (Doug Bradley) was a good twist in my opinion, and secondly the movie could have had the same story and outcome with or without the Hellraiser connection. Anyone who has seen Angelheart or Shutter Island will see end of this film coming a mile off.
There is not a huge amount of Cenobite `ouch' moments of earlier movies, no gore fest, no flesh ripping and nothing that has not been done or seen before. Think predictable, mediocre sequel and you won't be far wrong. Certainly not the best of the series (Hellbound my own favourite). However, it is certainly worth a watch (if only for Kirsty's revelation at the end), but a movie that will probably need to be dusted regularly when you clean the movie shelf !

I knew it would have never have been as good as the 1st (although that one wasn't that much cop) but I saw it as entertainment value, its no brain surgery...just enjoy hellish nonsense

This dvd is ok, but not anywhere near the first two in the series standard. The plot is fine and we see the return of ashley lawrence has kirsty. However both her and pinhead are underused in the story which is a shame. The film has twists and is worth a look but theres barly any of the magic of hellraiser 1 and 2.
Listmania!
