Movie Reviews of Hellraiser VI - HellseekerMovie Review: HELLFOUND Summary: 5 Stars
Since the rumours of Ashley Laurence's return as Kirsty, it was certain that this, the sixth Hellraiser movie, would get considerably more interest than most. Like all movies there is good and bad. The bad being Ashley Laurence's screen-time is not all that long and just what happened to the supposed Imogen Boorman cameo? Another gripe would be that for the first time since Hellbound: Hellraiser II there are truly horrifying Cenobites (the brilliant Surgeon and equally scary Stitch) which are only briefly glimpsed. That aside, the good of this movie far outweighs any bad. The plot is air-tight and moves at such a pace and force you can't help but be reminded of the first movie. The acting is strong (though Dean Winters does seem to have difficulty handling dramatic scenes, surprising considering his role in Oz!) For the times she does appear Ashley Laurence reminds us just why we love Kirsty so much and her "reunion" with Pinhead is edge-of-the-seat stuff (watch the deleted "Pinhead meets Kirsty" scene on the DVD for Kirsty's brilliant response to Pinhead's adversary remark) The look of the film itself is dark, surreal and almost neo-gothic at times, with Pinhead appearing more in this than Inferno, though not so much as to overwhelm. Doug Bradley is on form as ever, though for some reason his Pinhead costume has been adapted slightly, using padding making him look fat. Perhaps the best part of this movie is the final scene, the shocking twist ending that I promise you won't see coming. It also leaves the burning question of just what will happen when Kirsty and Pinhead meet again? It almost seems like some kind of fatal-attraction is occuring between the two, neither that ready to destroy each other as advance internet rumour would believe, in fact, Kirsty seems almost too eager to take the puzzle box at the movie's closure. So, the sixth movie is better than 3 and 4 (not hard) and more than a match for the superior 5 which really brought the series back from the edge. I'd go as far as to say this is better than 2 and will certainly give the first movie a run in the popularity stakes. Roll on Hellraiser: Deader and let's hope the quality of this series continues going from strength to strength.
