Movie Reviews of Hellraiser - Hellworld
Movie Review: Somewhat scary
Summary: 3 Stars
3.5 stars. This movie is put together extremely well cinematically. (It should be. After all the Hellraiser films are all being made in Romania now so the payroll is cheap.) The story's pretty decent and takes place in this real cool, large scary house. The owner of the house is holding a "Hellworld" party. There are really some scary moments which surprised me (because the series has been going downhill for a few years now). Pinhead shows up more than he has in the last few films but he quite doesn't make any type of point when he confronts anyone. He needs to be more complex with his words and needs to scare the crap out of the people he's about to seize. He needs to give the others something to really wrap their heads around. He really doesn't tell these people why he's killing them. And there's only a few bizarre torture devices. There needs to be more. The ending is the most disappointing. Pinhead should appear at the ending which he does for a minute or two and he should really be agitated and sum everything up with riddles and metaphors and really put people through hell but the end just kind of fizzles and you're left with really no overtones from Pinhead. Overall, a good movie to watch. Plus there's a lot of nudity and sex.Movie Review: Ehh...

I posted a review for Deader after viewing it for the first time and had to say I really enjoyed it. I thought it was put together pretty good. With that in mind, I went into Hellworld with the same attitude I had towards Deader.
I gave it three stars due to the fact that the Cenobites (there are only Pinhead, Chatterer, and Bound included in this one) have a little more screentime and do more than just stand in one place. The ending with Chatterer and Bound literally dropped my jaw!
I know a lot of people didn't like Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth because of the fact that Pinhead was a more prominent character, but in this one their screentime was necessary to keep the story alive. Aside from that, the story is ok...a little twisted which is good. The acting and script kinda made the movie a little tiring for me.
Buy this if you are an avid collector of horror films, but if not, rent it first...all in all it's worth a watch i guess.
Movie Review: Another strange chapter
Summary: 3 Stars
Hellraiser Hellworld had potential, the idea of the Cenobites orchestrating a party to capture souls sounded cool (although reeked of Hellraiser 3 and Bloodlines). Instead the cenobites are a minor role, and this time it actually hurts the overall product.
The idea is that a group of friends (whom one of committed suicide playing Hellworld, a Hellraiser MMO a year prior) go to a Hellworld convention/party. The host treats them to booze, sex, and all sorts of strange oddities. However soon the friends get picked off one by one and by the time you get to the end it barley feels like a Hellraiser movie anymore.
Unlike Deader, this one really feels like the Hellraiser universe was thrown in for the hell of it, and in some cases does not follow the rules (pointed out in the movie). Weakest of the DTV lot.
Movie Review: Oh come on, its not THAT bad...
Summary: 3 Stars
You really can't blame Rick Bota for his last 3 Hellraiser installments. After all, he manages to add a true air of creepy grittiness and nice visuals despite miniscule budgets and overall lame scripts.
That being said, the screenplay to the 8th Hellraiser installment is far from a continuation of the original Clive Barker concept from the first 2 (or 4, if you're generous) movies. In order to halfway enjoy this movie you have to go into it expecting a typical slasher horror flick. Once you accept that, the movie is decent considering its budget.
One reviewer said that there was nothing redeemable about this movie - I disagree. 3 stars for the smoking hot chick that leads one of the dudes to his doom. ;)
Movie Review: Hellworld
Summary: 3 Stars
Hellraiser Hellworld....The movie was ok. it wasn't terrible. it was ok. The reason for this is that I like the way each Hellraiser is different. Yes it is like a teen slasher movie and I like the way Hellraiser original, Hellbound, inferno, and Hellseeker keep to a similar Hellraiser form, but Hellworld was entertaining to me. I look at this way. This series has 7 sequels, it has stayed alive for this long, and at least we get to see some decent kills at the hands of Pinhead. I do hope that the next sequel will return to the original hellraiser formula. As For Hellworld it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. That's my review.
