adonis98-743-186503 Two friends discover a puzzle box in Mexico, which unleashes cenobite Pinhead. Wanna know why most movie horror franchises suck? It's because films like 'Hellraiser: Revelations', 'Saw II,III,IV,V,VI,VII,VIII' and 'Halloween: Resurrection' were made which led the Series to either die or come back with some sort of reboot or just take it's time to return and this film is the exact same thing. It's badly written, badly directed, the perfomances were terrible and just awful from beginning to end and the actor who played Pinhead was pretty awful as well too....!!!! (0/10)

Michael Ledo Capitalizing on bad movies, the film opens up with the annoying hand held camera as 2 young males (Nick Eversman and Jay Gillespie) head to Mexico in hopes of a sexual encounter. The next thing you know their car is jacked, then they are opening the puzzle box. Pinhead appears. Now I understand real people age and in hell they don't so they needed another pinhead. But if you are going to have someone speak monotone lines and sound odious, you must use voice enhancements, like they do in low budget films. There are times when both guys are being filmed at the same time and you have to ask why is the camera still jerking around? Now I can't remember the last Hellraiser I saw, was it the corporate one or the thing in outer space...or was that a Jason thing? And apparently it doesn't matter how it ties into the other films in the series.The two boys have disappeared and the sister/gf (Tracey Fairaway) is extremely interested in what happened. 10 minutes into the film I was thinking, they are going to need some good nudity to save this one, and with the first hooker still having her clothes on, I didn't hope for much. Then there are some plot points I am confused about. We see Pinhead take the puzzle box, but it appears in the boy's room in his bag along with the camera they had when they went missing. How did this get back to his room from Mexico? The police saw the movie on the camera, but didn't keep it for evidence.The puzzle box is not really a puzzle as everyone seems to be able to open it. It opened once by pushing the top, a second time by twisting the corner. Could we have a little consistency? And doesn't Tracey Fairaway take showers? The vagrant (Daniel Buran) had some of the best lines, which to say were not that great. Nick Eversman as Steven was very weak and unconvincing as one of the main characters.The movie breaks down into a bad home invasion film with a Hellraiser background. The poor ending hints at a squeal.F-bomb, nudity, sex, torture.

rick79robertson If it were possible to put a minus sign for the rating, I would have. The 75 minutes of your life spent watching this CRAP will be lost forever. Horrible acting and no Doug Bradley. The characters are all whiny and wooden. This movie doesn't deserve to have Hellraiser in the title.

xstout81 "Hellraiser: Revelations" does wonders with its primary limitations: small budget, short set time, and no Doug Bradley. But, as a fan of Clive Barker's world, I got everything I wanted: an expansion of the suspenseful Pinhead, and a formulaic honesty to the original two films before "Hellraiser III" transitioned the lively horror-drama into a pop franchise. Unlike the other 2000-era 'Hellraiser' films, "Revelations" honors the first two films by making Pinhead and the illustrious Box prominent foundations of the plot. It includes other gems of the originals as well: themes of the flesh, a complex family drama, and torturous visual artistry that isn't only gory, but also resonates within a dark part of our primordial psyche. Pinhead's presence is highly rewarding and a lot of fun to observe. But the character's longer dialogue seems written more fitly for an expansive 'Hellraiser' TV series, which makes you miss Doug Bradley's demigod-like presence all the more; with him, less was always more when it came to dialogue. I love 'Hellraiser' films because the fantasy is so intermingled with the conditions of human life. Everything we ever feared about sin, Hell, God, and evil comes to the surface through Clive Barker's themes. This film is conscious of these resonances and does its best to continue them. However demonic and detached he is, Pinhead is more humanoid in his motives and mannerisms than Jason, Freddy, and Michael combined. We want to go deeper with him. "Revelations" is that next step forward into Pinhead's realm since "Bloodline" which marked the conclusion of Barker's direct influence on the films.
