qmtv This week I just watched Hellraiser 3 – failure, amateur hour action nonsense. And Hellraiser 4 – failure, amateur hour, some interesting ideas, still garbage. Now Hellraiser 5 – again some interesting ideas, and decent fx, but padded unnecessary long scenes of boredom and drawn out garbage.The ideas of #5 is fine. We have a cop that is not so nice, he steals money, does drugs, cheats on his wife with prostitutes, beats up on informants, entraps/blackmails his partner. For all that he gets a ride on the Hellraiser train. The problem is, yes he's not a good guy, but maybe they could have found a truly evil fellow to put on that train. He's not all bad, he's trying to find the child before the guy leaving the kids fingers behind at each death scene. He finds the evil box, opens it and he is tormented till the end of the movie. Great. The problem is boring dialogue, not even so bad it's funny. Except it even got to that point in the middle of the movie, where I was laughing at the choices the filmmakers made in each scene.We get Pinhead for a few seconds in the first 20 minutes, then he shows up again towards the end. I didn't have a problem with that. In #3 and 4 he just kept blabbing and blabbing continuous nonsense, I started hating he how he tortured me with his words. At least the Pinhead performance was great in this one. And most of the demons and fx were great. The cinematography was decent as well. Music was competent. The main problem is the drawn out dialogue and nonsense scenes and the editing. The acting was OK, not great, better than #3 and 4 but given the dialogue and story who cares.As it is I would only recommend this to people who need to see every single Hellraiser movie. It has some interesting ideas and given the weak dialogue, acting and editing, it is a prime candidate for reediting and cut down from 99 minutes to maybe 70 minutes.The fx and the demon scenes are good and some other decent scenes. Currently I can only give this a C or D, 3 maybe 4 rating. If cut to 70 minutes, it can be a 5 or maybe even a 6 star movie, which I would recommend.OK, I just watched #VI and it made me reconsider #V. Compared to #VI, #V is a masterpiece. I am officially upgrading the rating to 4. Please reedit this movie to 70 or 75 minutes, cut out the nonsense. I don't need more Pinhead. I need less nonsense.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is the fifth Hell raiser movie. And it not very good. The fist Hell raiser is 1010 times better that movie is very scary. Hell bound Hell raiser II is 1000 time better it is also very scary. Hell raiser III hell one earth time better 1011 time better. That one is also very scary. The forth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser the blood line is 1020 time better. That is also very scary. The sixth Hell raiser Hell raiser hell seeker is better. And that one is pretty bad. The seventh Hell raiser movie Hell raiser deader is also better. And the one is pretty bad. The eighth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser hell world is better and that one is pretty bad. This movie is confusing and hard to follow. I thought I was going finger out what was going on at the end of the movie. But I did not. Do not wast time and money. Do not see this awful movie.

steeledanton so is this a situation in which the guy that hosts the TONYS is seemingly given a script that says Locked in a box and some other stuff pertaining to the series of hellraiser? anyways.. I know a little bit about hellraiser, just like I know a little bit about the serpent and the rainbow as well as Lost highway.I was interested in watcvhing some hellraiser and purchased this movie in a box set...I haven't seen craig Sheffer in awhile. so seeing him gave me a depiction of Robert downey junior a little I guess.Nick Turturro immediately looked familiar, but I could easily get him confused with joe pescis character in Home Alone series. I was upset that Craig is a sneaky cop who got with a hoe and then fo0und the hoe all fuckt up..i mean he found some cocaine and he was like in La La land on the toilet taken back in time to like his moms house or something for awhile.... and after the sex scene and murder, and dialogue between nick turturro and craig, I just said, I think i.ve seen this, this is going slow, and I gotta shut it off.

kclipper This is quite a unique departure from the usual over-the-top blood and gore that the first four Hellraiser films have satisfied fans of Clive Barker's visionary interpretation of desire and doom over the years. Director, Scott Derrickson takes us into the life of a brilliant but amoral police detective, Joseph Thorne, played by Craig Sheffer (who's no stranger to Clive Barker's surreal world from his role in "Nightbreed") Thorne is a master chess player and puzzle solver which brings us to his story. He also cheats on his beautiful wife with hookers and neglects his family, but when he stumbles across the infamous "Lament Configuration" puzzle box, he begins his descent into hell, which is ultimately an illogical mixture of reality and fantasy as he has to solve ghastly murders of people in which he was acquainted with and the disappearance of a child. It is somehow all designed by a character referred to as the "Engineer" that is actually the one and only Pinhead. This seems to be more for fans of the psychological thinking man's horror film than the traditional Gothic gore thriller. Craig Sheffer handles the material well as he must put together the impossibly complex world that is ultimately his chosen hell. The cenobite demons in this installment are strangely erotic shape-shifters of some sort, and many scenes have a convoluted dream-like quality. Pinhead gets very little screen-time, but when he emerges for the finale confrontation, its all the well worth the wait. Features good turns from Nicholas Turturro, James Remar and not to mention Doug Bradley's exquisitely demented Pinhead. Most fans should approve. Derrickson will go on to write and direct "Sinister" and the excellent, "Exorcism of Emily Rose"
