Movie Reviews of Hellraiser - Deader
Movie Review: Deader is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
[...]
Hellraiser Deader was a great film, i've seen all films to date and even before seeing Deader i had already seen pictures on the net from the set prior to its release. I had already imagined the new film "Deader" to be very artisitic as the pictures were very dark but at the same time the shadows and colours used really stood out to give me the impression that it was going to be very dark and moody of a film. This movie delivered totally in my opinion i've really enjoyed all the movies in the series i wouldnt call my self a fanatic but i'm definetly a fan. For those fanatics out their i'm sure you'll find issues with the movie but its a great movie the feeling it gets you in is of hellraiser!!. It made me think of hellraiser 2 the colors and the dark scenes with the shadows constantly keep you aware as suprises could be around any corner. The idea is very different but it works well as a reviewer said in one of the other reviews in this movie pinhead is definetly needed as he plays a very important role. Kari Wuhrer plays her character very well if i was to compare her with Terry Farrell who played joey in Hellraiser 3 Kari definetly comes outfront no offence to Terri Farrel who is a great actress just that the role of joey i believe didnt suit her. The story is strong the other characters do their parts extrememly well doug bradley plays pinhead flawlessly like always!!.His time is limited in deader but its sufficient as the story backs his pressance even when we cant see him. I'm aware that theirs alot of comments stating that Hellraiser should end. For those i say this, the original movie broke boundries in the genre it blew people away with its originality. Each hellraiser chapter has done that in my view. They have all had originality and have all out done any other movie out their that has come out during their time. As for Deader the movie is great i recommend it completely!! to fans of hellraiser and to those that have never seen any of the chapters at all. I've found it to be way better than any other peice of crap thats come out in the cinemas lately , and yes i'm referring to all the polished horror hollywood movies!!. Deader portrayed the emotions of the characters, their feelings their pain and their confusion very well 4 stars for this movie as for hellraiser hellworld cant wait to check it out!!. Peace out!!
Movie Review: As good as modern horror gets...
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the seventh film of the "Hellraiser" series, and as such didn't attract much attention outside of the fan base. And apparently much of the base didn't like "Deader" anyway, leading to little serious critical appraisal. As a "Hellraiser" movie this is certainly even more experimental than the prior two were, and in my opinion, "Deader" is unquestionably the finest film of the series. Director Rick Bota, a talented cinematographer as well, invests a great deal of atmosphere into a creepy narrative involving an obsessive reporter, a cult of seemingly dead people, and of course the Lament box and Pinhead. What is all ready a great story is made much more impressive by the striking images that Bota and his crew sprinkle throughout, as well as some very committed performances. "Deader" is so much better than most other horror movies on so many different levels that it's very originality and tone can't be readily grasped by it's target audience. The viewers who would more likely find much to love about this film, the art-house types, will never see "Deader" because of horror's general reputation as well as, well, isn't this a "Hellraiser" sequel, after all? A death knell right there.
But to those who don't like this work as it features too little of Pinhead - watch "Deader" just as a movie first. The "Hellraiser" mythology works it's way in seamlessly, but it takes a little while to get there. Patience is more than rewarded.
As a "Hellraiser", maybe "Deader" is too cerebral, too subtle and too eccentric. But these very qualities make "Deader" a classic suspense-horror film on it's own, and I imagine the movie's standing will grow as time passes.
Movie Review: One of the best in the Hellraiser series.
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this movie was awesome for a straight to DVD movie. Deader is somewhat low budget but is filmed in europe, so it looks much more authentic and a bit gothic. Also this movie has somewhat of an artsy David Lynch vibe to it, and I really appreciated that.
The script is very good and engaging. The acting is mostly good. The plot is very interesting. The blood, special effects, and gore scenes are mostly excellent.
This movie is about a journalist who investigates into a group called the deaders, run by an ancestor of the box maker, who made an appearance in the 4th Hellraiser movie. As you watch the movie you will find out how pinhead and the cenobites are related to the deaders.
There is actually a bit of full frontal nudity and sexual scenes in this movie. So it is not for young teens.
Is this movie better than Hellworld? Yes! It is much better. In fact this ranks as almost as good as the first two hellraisers.
Very much suggested!

This movie Rocks!!! Plain and simple!!!!
Need a more intellectual
This movie is visually stunning- a true sensory masterpeice.
Kari is delightfully edgy and threadbaringly beautiful!! ( I adore Ms. Wuhrer!!)
Deader is a movie that proves to be pleasingly Dark with just the right amount of mythological tantalization.
(Fans of Joseph Campbell's books may just give the Hellraiser movies a second glance!)
Hellraiser Deader is a masterpeice in the truest since of the word!
In other words--
Dude, this movie Rocks!!!
Movie Review: It's about time
Summary: 5 Stars
I went thru the torture of watching Hellraisers' Bloodline, Inferno, and Hellseeker. Hellseeker wasn't that bad, but not as good as the first 3...yes I even like Hell On Earth. Anyway...I went into this movie with low expectations, but after watching all the way thru...was actually surprised at how much I liked it. The Hellraiser franchise has definetly redeemed themselves with this one. I'm awaiting Hellworld, hopefully it will follow the trend of Deader. My only complaint about Deader was the fact that the director removed the Spike Cenobite (found in the deleted scenes) prior to release. Possibly the coolest cenobite alongside Pinhead and Chatterer.
