Movie Reviews of Hellraiser - Hellworld
Movie Review: A Good Follow Up.
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't understand why people loved Deader so much. There were obvious mistakes and it was easy to tell that Bota wanted to make the journalists boss Pinhead orginally. Deader was a much worse film but got good reviews. Maybe someone should pass me some of the crack their smoking but, Hellworld (aka not another teen movie) wasn't that bad.
Considering the box was Digitally opened (metaphorically) It can be conceivable that they did step into hellworld. Also with a great set, wonderful effects and no errors seen evident it stands on it's own much better than Deader. I didn't think Bota could make me love Hellraiser again. Although I love this in the sense I loved inferno. This is more a tale of the box circulating and taking random victims and forming it's own urban legends around the world. Still very much a story about 7 deadly sins and the angels or demons, however you see them. Pinhead didn't use cheap lines used in pervious sequals and it was tastefully ended with a good twist. Even let the real demons come in and finish off the story the right way.
I can't understand hellraiser fans. Maybe it's because the real fans stopped watching the films and gave up after part 3 and went to part 4 with hope but just gave up from there. Maybe it's because people writing the reviews don't have much "film" knowlege to notice plot or continuity errors.

Movie Review: A million times better than "Hellraiser: Deader " but still far from the orginals
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually thought this one was "ok" They had a very low budget and seemed to use it fairly well. The movie was actually adapted from a story that originally had nothing to do with the hellraiser series or pinhead. They basically thought it would be a good idea to throw pinhead into an existing story about hell. I thought it was an above average horror movie, but at the same time, not really a hellraiser movie. As others have mentioned, it played out more like a teen slasher flick. Maybe I'm just a sucker for revenge plots and slasher flicks, because I really liked the story in this one. I think the story was strong enough to stand up all by itself without rehashing a hellraiser movie. The story is one of the reasons I gave it 4 stars. The other reason I gave it a high rating is THIS IS THE MOST YOU WILL GET TO SEE PINEHAD OUT OF THE LAST 4 HELLRAISER MOVIES MADE!!! Its so sad this series has strayed so far away from its roots. To this day, the first 2 Hellraiser movies are 2 of my favorite horror movies, it's a shame what they are doing to this series. BRING BACK MOVIES WITH PINHEAD IN THEM!! AND I DON'T MEAN THE 10 MIN CAMEOS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST FEW MOVIES!Movie Review: This Movie is much better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie. I thought it was just a little bit inferior to Hellraiser: Deader but still in the same class. I certainly would not rate it in the dregs of Hellraiser III. The shocks were very convincing, and the cenobites were creative and new. I was very impressed that they were still able to make such a good quality movie after 8 versions.
By the way, for those of you who are looking for inventive, excellent quality Hellraiser box configurations at extremely reasonable prices, take a look at this link: http://www.pyramid-gallery.com/index.html#1749
For now, they are offering three box configurations at amazing pre-order prices that will be ready to ship on 2/1/08. And I understand that more products will be added to the site each day. There is a wealth of history on the site and the diversity of the boxes is amazing. So check it out.
Movie Review: hellworld
Summary: 4 Stars
First off i'd like to say im a huge fan of the hellraiser series. I enjoyed hellworld for 2 reasons. One its very different, much better than the last 3. Better acting, great story. The second reason pinhead's time is divided up better in this movie, more spread out. Lance Henriksen's role (as the host) was a nice touch. His presence carried the film. Hats off to Rick Bota.
These people who write these reviews. I have 2 things to say to u. 1-this is a low budget movie. what do u want? Its alot better than most horror movies out there. Sure Id like to see more pinhead. But if u think about it Pinheads only in the first hellraiser for 10 minutes if that. 2-Did any of u watch the movie? The movie has a good plot,good gore,nudity and decent acting. All elements needed for a good horror film. A must see for all hellrasier fans. Even if u know nothing of the series, watch this movie.
Movie Review: Better than you might think for the 8th sequel!
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading some of these other reviews, I wonder if any of these people were actually paying attention to the movie. Many of their complaints are explained in the plot. Also, anyone who is still complaining that the Hellraiser series isn't like the first two movies needs to just deal with the fact the series went in a new direction years ago. This is nothing new people.....
Having said that, I must say "Hellworld" is surprisingly entertaining considering it's the 8th installement in the series. The acting isn't stellar, but the gore, scares and surprise ending are all quite intriguing and fun. Although I admit the ending of the film may be a bit hard to believe, but then again a box that opens the gates to hell isn't exactly realistic either!
This sequel is far better than "Deader", the previous film.
