For me it is best to think of this film as a prequel rather than a sequel, as you find out the basics of Pinhead et-al, and a little more of what it's all about. It not the normal 'lots of blood' Hellraiser, it's more psychological and does make a nice change. I was pleased with this film, even if you don't know much or haven't seen the other Hellraiser films you can still watch it easy enough. You can then go and watch the other much more violent films safe in the knowledge that Pinhead can not only rip you apart but can also mess with your head!

Well ive seen all of the Hellraiser sequels and this is one of the better ones made.
Hellraiser 5 was hit hard by critics and it didnt help it being released straight to DVD/Video, So when i came to watching this movie i was expecting a mess of bad writing and poor budget filming. But i have to admit i was pleasently suprised. The film centres around a "Bad" cop who is trying to find a kidnapped girl. Feeling this is the case to justify his role in the force, he goes head first into it and upsets a few people on the way. But as he delves deeper into the case he realises that the source of all the problems are coming from the infamous puzzle box. At first the film can seem confusing but it does fit nicely together later on.
On the whole its a good film, nicely written and has a great underated lead actor. The cenobites are awesome and look quite disturbing. Dont be put off by the straight to DVD release, its alot better than most of the horrors hollywood churns out.

Although this is different than the other hellraiser films, it is pure horror and classic. The difference between this film and the other hellraisers are what makes some people say it's not as good. If you can accept the difference, then this should be at the top of your amazon list! It's a great film, and my favorite of the serise. The lack of cenobite scenes are payed back with great horror of a detectives hellish life! There are three fantastic new cenobites in this, supplied with amazing affects.If you're looking for a horror film that will be different than any other, buy this! And, if you're a hellraiser fan who can accept changes, BUY IT NOW!!!

Very poor edition to the Hellraiser Series
Very poor edition to the Hellraiser Series. Pinhead in it the film for about 3 or 5 minutes and doesn't really do much. Not up to the standard of other hellraiser films.

Hellraiser Inferno/Hellraiser 5
One of the more subtle and disturbing films in the Hellraiser series, this film doesn't rely on gore as some of the other films do but is more of a psychological horror film. Read more
