What a waste of a once great movie(pt 1 and most of pt2) maybe they will sell the rights to me, I couldnt do any worse....

I actually didn't think the last two DTV sequels were too bad "Hellseeker" and "Deader" (I think). The reason is that they kind of reminded me of the structure of Silent Hill 2. That is, in SH2 the focus wasn't on the town anymore or the gimmick of the cult, but it was just this guy having this experience that the town happened to be a part of. The last two Hellraisers (more so Hellseeker) were the same way, just a guy that had stuff happening to him and it turned out that Pinhead and the Cenobites figured into it, it was no longer focussing on Pinhead being a stupid masochistic monster anymore like they did in Hellraiser3 and Bloodlines.

In the third film when they come up with that whole stupid "Pinhead's human side has been removed from him" that was basically just an excuse to make him a monster rather than an intelligent demon that could hold a conversation, unlike Jason, without resorting to corny one-liners (unlike Freddy). They kind of returned him to that form in the DTV sequels.

The "Evil Goes Online" thing though sounds too much like "Leprechaun in Space" :lol

Got to admit though, the short story these are based on, they really are getting all they can from the characters.....
 
Deader was decent.

Feels like Pinhead only has Cameo's in the Hellraiser flicks.

Kari Wuhur was smoking in Deader. She bared but only mostly covered in
gore

I really liked Inferno, hellseeker was ok. They were certainly better than the last two theatrical hellraisers ugh. I heard this new one didnt even start out as a hellraiser they just script doctored it at the last minute to tac on some hellraiser stuff and use the name.

well, well... considering the franchise more or less got fucked when they took it to space....


this news is just :lol


nightbreed is all class though. I wish Barker would get something else made.

Title: Hellraiser: Hellworld
Starring: Lance Henriksen
Released: 6th September 2005
SRP: $29.99


Lance Heriksen aka Bishop from Aliens and dude from Millenium? WTF!

That's even HOTTER!

I have to rent that one. :p

So far as Hellraiser is concerned, I'm still waiting on Barker to write the story that will be the end of Pinhead. He's mentioned it several times in interviews, and it sounds like the typical; "Suits ran off with my shit and fucked it up" stuff. So it's going to be fun watching him totally tear down Pinhead and the Cenobites. :D

Well, technically Pinhead was already killed in Hellraiser: Bloodlines (or not technically, depending on how "legitimate" you consider the movie), and I'm assuming all these new movies stick to continuity (more or less) because he's not actually killed until sometime in like 2513 or something on the space station.

I still say I'd like to get my hands on ALL of the Hellraiser: Bloodlines footage and see if a decent flick could have been hammered together. The release cut was a mess with some potentially cool stuff cut out and quite a few weird plotholes really evident.
