Format:DVD
This is one of the most complex and densely-plotted horror films I've seen for a long time. Set in three different time zones, it involves the puzzle box's creation centuries ago and Pinhead's hunt for the descendant of the toymaker who brought the box into being. Gripping from beginning to end, it contains plenty of impressive visual imagery, and Pinhead himself is at his ruthless, cold-hearted best. Essential viewing.

This is a good instalment in the Hellraiser series, though Pinhead is the only character present from any of the other films.
Explains the background to the mysterious puzzle box, how it was originally created and how many years later in the future a descendant of its creator attempts to reverse the harm that it does.
Could have been better, its really too short for a film trying to pack so much into 81 minutes. However Pinhead gets more screen time than in any of the other films and is particularly evil in this film, even kidknapping small children!
One of the films highlights is Angelique, a demon princess summoned when the first puzzle box was opened. Played by the stunning Valentina Vargas she is by far the sexiest most beautiful character in any of the hellraiser films.
Its set in 3 different timeframes; 18th century France where the first puzzle box was made by an unwitting craftsman; 20th century France/USA where Angelique & Pinhead try to force a descendant of the puzzle box maker (L'Merchant) to create a bigger and permanent gateway to hell; 22nd century set on a space station where another descendant of L'Merchant is working on a plan to close the gateway to hell forever, here Pinhead wages a final battle, killing all but two people on the station with his new cenobites (including his cenobite dog!) before he himself meets his fate.

I remember waiting a long time for this. Then it was finally a straight to vhs release. Okay, might not be so bad, I thought. Sat down with some friends to watch it-oh my.
I personally could see the intended grandness, the huge story which they tried to create, a valiant attempt and more braver than the third or at least very different, and very different to most other modern horrors. And it also tried to do something bold with it's own anti-hero Pinhead, unlike the ongoing Freddy and Jason sequels just repeating the splatter.
This is an interesting if failed but good and different shlocky horror film.

Not amazing.
First off, I'll throw out an opinion of mine which some may agree with: Horror films set in the future/space just aren't scary. Read more

Enjoyed the first three hellraisers. Would have been quite tolerant of a below average film - but this is well below average and almost got turned off. Read more

I mean if a reviewer isn't a fan of horror, why are they watching it?
Anyway, this is a very good instalment in the Hellraiser legacy and, whilst it's not as good as the first... Read more
