Product Description

Pinhead returns for another bout of gory mayhem. This time a young investigative reporter, Joey Summerskill (Terry Farrell), witnesses a vision of the horrific death of a tormented teenage boy and decides to find out the truth behind it. Her work uncovers the Lament Configuration Box which opens the door to the Cenobites' demonic world of pleasure and pain. Pinhead returns to the Earth, this time bringing an army of Cenobites transmuted from the flesh of his victims. His plan is to reclaim the box and free himself from Hell.

This movie could have been great. After all, not only has the glorious Pinhead come back but he has stepped into the real world to hold dominion over all mortals. There are some shining moments here, but overall the movie doesn’t hold together well and marks the beginning of the slippery slope which this once-great movie franchise tumbled down in later years. Several of the actors and actresses look like they are acting (never a good thing), but it is the plot that dooms this third incarnation of Hellraiser to something of a cinematic disappointment. Joey, a frustrated female journalist, witnesses the death of a chain-mauled man in the emergency room of the local hospital. The witness who came with the tortured shell of a man insists she wants no involvement in events, yet she tells Joey her name and where she can be rather easily found. When her lecherous boyfriend J.P., rich owner of the Boiler Room—half wild bar and half fancy restaurant—throws her out, she comes to stay with Joey, then acts surprised when the journalist wants to ask her questions. The important thing is that she has the puzzle box. Out of nowhere, we start seeing Joey’s dreams of watching her father die in Vietnam; in the shakiest plot point of all, we find it is these dreams that allow the man who became Pinhead, Captain Elliott Spencer, to contact her and ask her to destroy the monster he became. Naturally, after a lot of nasty deaths, we come to a conclusion in which the seemingly helpless Joey tries to gain victory over the forces of hell.
It is a shame that a few of the best scenes in the series are buried in this lackluster production. Perhaps the most significant one involves Pinhead’s blasphemous reenactment of the crucifixion and death of Jesus.

By the time the third film in the Hellraiser series had arrived in the 90's it had managed to draw a rather large cult following. Unfortunetly it was this film that seems to of started the series in many fanboys minds. Whilst this certainly isn't the worst film in the saga, it's definetly not the greatest. Its commercial slant, and constant marketing consious takes the series into a realm that it hasn't been to before or after. Giving the fans what they want - Pinhead is the lead character in the film, and it largely centers on his break from slavery, before causing 'hell on earth'. The effects are cheesy, but grander than before, and the story is fairly enjoyable in an embarressing sort of way. The undeniable rapture of the sheer breadth of screen time that Pinhead has in this chapter lifts the movie above its rather bare boned - straight to video sloppiness, and as such - ends up far more graphic novel like than before. Like super-heroes, fans fall in love with a character in horror films like this, and its the meer presence of a figure such as Pinhead, Jason, Michael, or Freddy that can help fans of the series enjoy the film despite its shoddy production. This is definetly the case here.
If you liked the other Hellraiser flicks - i guarantee that you'll get some enjoyment out of this, and savour the sight of Pinhead in poster-boy format (for 10 years after he remained the number one selling poster franchise in Japan).
The DVD, however, is a completely different matter. Devoid of a single extra, and without even the DVD normality of the graceful Widescreen it's truly a shameful excuse. Unfortunetly i haven't managed to track down any other version after relentless searching over the net. So it's either this, or a possibly looong wait until a proper edition finally surfaces. Personally i'd wait.

Reporter Joey Summerskill learns about the notorious puzzle box, the unbearable pain it can bring, and Pinhead, after seeing a young clubber get ripped apart by the box's chains.

She tracks the box and a woman named Terri down to a club called the Boiler Room, owned by playboy J.P., who feeds Pinhead, trapped in a marble pillar, blood from club members so he can escape.

As time runs out, Joey must think of a way to bring Pinhead and his Cenobites back to the realm of Pinhead's human self or succumb to an eternity of pain and suffering......

Seeing the third installment as a fifteen year old teenager was, ironically, heaven. The make up was brilliant, it was all blood and gore, and the music was loud.

Seeing it twenty years later, the make up is still great, the blood and gore covers up the obviously bonkers plot, and it's blooming loud. Sometimes so loud you cannot hear the bad script, but you can still see the poor CGI.

The Hellraiser franchise has always been an oddity. Obviously Barker never intended Pin- head to be referenced as much as Freddy or Jason, he wasn't even a main character in the series until this movie, and this is where the series went down the wrong alley.

The director is notorious for making goofy films. Look at the Waxwork movies, and the second Warlock, enjoyable but throwaway fluff.

The Hellraiser films where supposed to be serious Gothic horrors, and thanks to this, we get a video camera faced man walking round shouting stuff like close up.

It's not bad by any means, but imagine how many must have felt when the franchise basically sold out?
