when the first hellraiser film came out, it was a British production that gave us a unique icon, interesting characters and pretty good story. it had a lot going for it as the master of horror Clive Barker who wrote the book had written and directed it. love or hate it the impact it had on the horror genre was huge. it spawned a lot more sequels than the Saw francise i think. and the francise has been going down hill from there.
its been 6 years since hellworld and it pretty much destroyed the Francine that you would think Dimension would have learnt their lesson and let the franchise die quietly. but they milking it for what its worth and its so blatant with this title.
the story is uncreative and obnoxious. the characters are one dimensional and stupid, they react to their situation like children. the main problem is pinhead... hes not in this, a new actor is playing him as Dorif was offered a too low salary for this trash and quite right he said no. if your leading man walks out of your film your in trouble. the new pinhead is a poor impressionist. he tries to be exactly like the original and doesn't try to interpret the character in a new way. the first time you hear his voice you break down laughing. he spends most of the film pulling silly faces and talking like hes been kicked in the privates. and whats with the stupid mini me pinhead? it made no sense.
this is the worst type of film including direct to DVD films. it was rushed, under budgeted and slaps Barker in the face more times than i can count. its insulting to think that this series was made by him. this is not the last hellraiser film count on that because Dimensions entertainment just wont let the series die already
