    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Best of the hellrasier movies in my opinion.Plenty of gore which you would expect to find in a horror film also a good plot and a little sex if that's your thing.The finale was very good.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I've seen HH, ('Come to daddy,'), HH2, ('Come to mummy') and had jumped over to HH4, (no such catch phrase).

    The storyline gets started immediately, (no prastinating). Basically some teenage kid buys that pillar, (with the box) and comes a cropper and a female journalist investigates his death. - Maybe in some ways its better than the body, (coming back to life) storylines in the first two films, (its less intense).

    The female journalist, Joey, has a recurring dream about her dad dying in Vietnam, (he died before she was born and this dream storyline progresses). Actually, the acting from the journalist and the teenage boy's possible girlfriend, or more acquietance isn't that great. (Just like the first two movies then!)

    It turns out that the pillar ends up in the possession of a sleazy, naracissitic club owner, (J P Munroe). - After a one night stand, the viewer sees the re-emergance of the overly familiar storyline. (There are also references back to the first film from a video and a more significant reference too). - A deal is struck between J P Munroe and Pinhead; yet then it turns into a deal between Pin Head and Terri, (Munroe's ex).

    - Just when I thought that nauseating catch phrase would not surface in this franchise, yep over forty minutes in.. 'Come to daddy!'

    'There is no evil, there is no good, there is only flesh.'

    A criticism I have is the Senabites: Camera Man, Doug, some flame throwing barbed wired entangled man and CD man, (the club dj). - I much prefered the Senabites from the first two movies, (particularly the teeth chattering man!)

    As the film went on I quite enjoyed it. Its still dark, murky of the underworld and has the shock and scare factor in amundance! The way too Pinhead delievers his lines is still fantastic!

  • Well meaning Misfire

    Rated - 2.5 stars  
    By DorkKnight (58 reviews) from London , 24 Jun 2010
    Written and directed by barker's Protege.

    this sadly expands the mythology while undermining it in one fell swoop.

    The origin of Pin head works well, and the notion of hell on earth to create his own realm is daunting and raises the stakes from the little house in London we first saw, but the techno-cenobites are quite limited and dated the minute they hit the screen.

    still entertaining and if you get the chance Run the title sequence of Hellraiser four and then watch Event Horizon, being the logical continuation of the franchise.

  • Disappointed..

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    This is what happens when a good idea doesn't translate onto the screen. On paper I'd imagine this film looked good - the mass murder in the club, more in-depth look at pin head, more action, gothic chicks.The in-depth pin-head bit comes off so corny and predictable. Could have been great and wasn't - we see his human side, like a lot of sequals love to do with the baddy. Really spoils it. You can tell it's written for fans but it's disappointing. Success sometimes turns a good franchise into tackiness. The main character journalist is also annoying and bland.
