Wonderful character development!

Sadly Over-hyped

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This one had to grow on me a bit. The first viewing, I thought it sucked. Then after thinking about it, and watching a couple of online reviews to learn others perspective of it, I watched this a second time, and it set a little better with me. I still don't think it's a great entry in this series, as it does still feel wildly out of place, it's worthwhile checking out. My biggest problem with this one is that we keep waking up and realising the previous moments were all a dream. In the earliest Hellraisers, we knew what they were experiencing was real, not imagined. Physical, not psychological. Here, we go off into Jacob's Ladder territory for most of its duration, and learn this character is in his own mental Hell, forced to relive his mistakes for eternity. An odd new direction for the series, and while it's not entirely a success, it isn't a complete misfire, either. Just don't go into it expecting it to match the tone of previous entries. Pinhead, in his two brief appearances, appears almost glowing white. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it's a great effect.

Released 13 years after the original this first direct-to-video offering enjoys radically improved effects.The tone of the film is a radical departure from the sweeping metaphysical grandeur of the theatrical released. The first of the DTV sequels, Inferno is kind of interesting.As memorably macabre as Barker's debut is, it also featured a genuinely disturbing portrait of temptation and karma. Inferno is a unique take on this, as it's a sort of dark noir, complete with a dubious police detective investigating a series of bizarre murders associated with the puzzle box. the execution is harrowing and futile, much like an actual, real-life execution. As the movie descends deeper and deeper into madness and unreality it becomes scarier: film noir. The best example of this is the scene in which Thorne is assaulted by ninja Indians at the behest of an angry cowboy, all to the tune of a '70s porno film.

This is the fifth Hell raiser movie. And it not very good. The fist Hell raiser is 1010 times better that movie is very scary. Hell bound Hell raiser II is 1000 time better it is also very scary. Hell raiser III hell one earth time better 1011 time better. That one is also very scary. The forth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser the blood line is 1020 time better. That is also very scary. The sixth Hell raiser Hell raiser hell seeker is better. And that one is pretty bad. The seventh Hell raiser movie Hell raiser deader is also better. And the one is pretty bad. The eighth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser hell world is better and that one is pretty bad. This movie is confusing and hard to follow. I thought I was going finger out what was going on at the end of the movie. But I did not. Do not wast time and money. Do not see this awful movie.

so is this a situation in which the guy that hosts the TONYS is seemingly given a script that says Locked in a box and some other stuff pertaining to the series of hellraiser? anyways.. I know a little bit about hellraiser, just like I know a little bit about the serpent and the rainbow as well as Lost highway.I was interested in watcvhing some hellraiser and purchased this movie in a box set...I haven't seen craig Sheffer in awhile. so seeing him gave me a depiction of Robert downey junior a little I guess.Nick Turturro immediately looked familiar, but I could easily get him confused with joe pescis character in Home Alone series. I was upset that Craig is a sneaky cop who got with a hoe and then fo0und the hoe all fuckt up..i mean he found some cocaine and he was like in La La land on the toilet taken back in time to like his moms house or something for awhile.... and after the sex scene and murder, and dialogue between nick turturro and craig, I just said, I think i.ve seen this, this is going slow, and I gotta shut it off.
