Trivia
This half-hour short film was produced as a showcase piece to promote a Hellraiser television series. Inspired by the graphic novels, it based its ideas around a different story taking place within the Hellraiser films. This one did not feature Pinhead, although some of the 13 treatments written did contain him or other characters from the series.

Impressive Fan Film

The Hellraiser Chronicles: A Question of Faith (2005)

*** (out of 4)

A Priest returns to the home where a couple of his friends were brutally murdered years earlier. It turns out that a defrocked Priest was turned into a Cenobite and unleashed a form of Hell.

I had never heard of this short film until I watched it on the Arrow HELLRAISER collection. It apparently had a very large following and it led to several other shorts being made. I'm not going to sit here and call this a masterpiece or a great film but at the same time it's certainly much better than you'd expect a fan film to be. The direction was extremely good throughout the picture and I give everyone credit for trying to do something different than just some sort of take on Pinhead.

The production values were obviously cheap since they were working on a small budget but for the most part I thought the film looked good and it certainly had a professional look to it. The gore effects were put to good use and I'd argue that they were quite effective as well. I won't spoil where the story goes but for the most part it was good, although at times I wasn't as connected to it as one would have hoped.
