Movie Reviews of Hellraiser - Deader
Movie Review: So So Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This is about a reporter looking for some guy who can bring back the dead. The pace is slow and boring with too much talking.
I watched this movie once but I didn't like it. After I watched the interview and watched the movie another time, it was kinda ok but the story was still kinda dumb. From the interview, they said that the original script was not for Hellraiser. But let's make it a Hellraiser movie from the script they said. Maybe that was why the role of the female reporter and the story were so not consistent through out the movie.
From the beginning of the movie, Amy is a tough/fearless reporter who does not have fear of anything. I guess this maybe from the original script written for the reporter. Since this is a Hellraiser movie, Amy is tough in one scene but screaming in another and then back and forth and back and forth again and again. This is so bad.
So, when I watched the movie the second time, I ignored all the screaming and watched Amy as the intended tough reporter, then the movie made more sense.
So you may still enjoy this movie but just don't watch it as a Hellraiser movie.
Movie Review: Good, But is it worth the 30 bucks?
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're a fan then you're probably going to buy this 7th installment of the Hellraiser series anyway...But lemme give you some advice on buying it first: Blockbuster, WestCoast video or Best Buy all do not carry it unless you special order. It's 30 bucks at Suncoast, 22.99 at Circuit City and about the same here at Amazon excluding the shipping. I do not know why this movie and the previous one, Hellraiser Hellseeker are so expensive when they give you barely any special features. It is not a bad movie by any means, just a little pricey for what you get. You see Pinhead for the first time around 20 minutes then again later on. Also, the hellraiser series isnt known for humor so i dont know why they put this character joey in, he really sucks and ruins the darkness the movie had going for it as they try to make him the comedic relief or something. If you liked the last three sequels, go for it. If you're just getting into horror or the hellraiser movies, get the first three.Movie Review: Pinhead may be back, but should you watch?
Summary: 3 Stars
In all fairness its way better then "Inferno" for the handful, including myself who watched that one. Interestingly enough, I gave this movie three stars because the story is pretty interesting and not gonna lie...the lead actress is a hottie! But the movie is still the 7 installment in the series so obviously there are flaws in the film...Hell its a direct to video hellraiser flick! But this one holds its own on the grounds that you are always interested in what the hell is going on? The first 15 minutes are pretty intense with a gun shot suicide and a girl found strangled in her underwear in her bathroom.
All in all...The movie is not bad, but the flaws (bad acting, what not) are aparent. Pinhead does not even really come into the story until the ending, which is somewhat cool.
so...If you find it...pick it up. If you wait a while, don't worry...it will still be here!
Movie Review: Not as bad as you might think.
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are waiting for the Hellraiser series to ever return to its original form stop waiting. It's never going to happen. The Hellraiser series was taken in a refreshingly new direction years ago where Pinhead is NOT the main character of the story.
As for this movie, it's quite enjoyable considering it is the 7th in the series. There is some great gore, horror, characters, etc.
My only complaint is the plot. Well, to be exact, little is done to explain these "Deader" people and how they are connected to Pinhead. There are enough contextual clues that can help the viewer imagine for him/herself what is really going on, but i think most peopel who see a movie prefer a clear cut explanation.
If you liked the last two Hellraisers, this one should be enjoyable too.
Movie Review: Another Interesting chapter in the Hellraiser Legacy
Summary: 3 Stars
Hellraiser Deader is an interesting chapter in that it was at first not even a Hellraiser story. The plot line is that a young journalist is investigating a cult phenomenon known as the Deaders, where a person seemingly kills themselves only to be ressurected. As she journeys through the seedy underworld (is there really any other kind) she discovers bits and pieces of the Deaders as well as the infamouse box.
Once again Pinhead and crew take a backseat to the overall story which in this case is good (although Inferno was by far the best of the sequel lot so far) as they really are only there to wreak vengeance on those tampering with the fabric of the unknown once more. As a hellraiser movie it's not much, but as a movie in general it's alright.
