    I enjoyed the comedy cenobites, particularly CD mouth and Camera head but all in all, this is a crap film with no story and worse acting. The effects/gore couldn't make up for it unfortunately although they are good in places.

    Ah, 'Hell on Earth'? another gem, solely for having Doug on screen more than most. But it was enjoyable for other reasons, too. I never even noticed that Pete Atkins snuck in there as the bartender who becomes Barbie the Cenobite! And of course the back-story on Elliott was a tre...( read more)at.

    Everyone really did a fantastic job in this one, too, with playing their characters to the hilt. Even the little ditzy blonde that J.P. lures to bed only to end up a McCenobite snack. Yeah, she was a talking stereotype, but she was 100% into it. She is also a study in how clueless women often act, sad to say. They believe what they want to, ignoring the facts of life and getting hurt ? or in this case munched down without sauce. Another little bit of psychology tossed in, and I love it every time they do it. In that scene, there is a quote that I rarely hear cited in any 'favorite quotes' thread, but it's a great one: "Their wealth was so tempting, their affection so conditional, what could you do?" Dr. Pinhead is in. Face it, he'd make a great therapist, even if the couch might have nails sticking out of it. Of course my personal favorite quote is also in this scene: "Flesh. Power. Dominion." But I'm not going to explain why. =) It was great to read that Doug had gotten to play with the make-up for the second crew's director, applying the wound effects on the guy that Camerahead stabs his lens through. Doug tells us in his book that he was just standing around on set when the crew turned out to be short-handed and he stepped up to help. Now whenever I watch that scene I think, "There's Doug's handiwork!" The main thing that bugged me about this film was Joey falling for Pinhead's trick of showing up as her father. Not a problem with the movie, it's just one of those 'scream at the screen' moments. How can she be so stupid? But hey, that's our clueless women believing what they want to phenomenon kicking in again! (Not to pick on women - men do it, too). ;) And I know he doesn't believe it, but the bit where Doug says the word 'unstoppable'? It's not messed up. I watched it again a few times (as directed) and never heard a thing wrong with it. That's at least two against one?. *wink*

    This is my favorite of the Hellraisers so far (I'm through 4:Bloodline) because I am most pleased with this script and story. But it seems I had to forsake a bit of gore and effects quality in return for the improved editing and script. The cinematography is less cheeky, has some...( read more) great moments of simple camera and lighting montage achievements, nothing else in fx needed but for Pinhead's costume and makeup. Actually the more I think on it, I take back what I said about the effects. There are a few shots repeated from the second movie, which those are shit, but the bar massacre, trench of dead soldiers, and Pinhead scuplture in this one are all awesome feats of the production crew/art department. I LOVE the army of Cenobites, though I can see how one might get sentimental about The Chatterer's absence.

    This movie should never have been made. A travesty upon the series. Eugh.

    Not quite as good as the previous two, but it still has the torture elements that make it fun. Pinhead got more screen time, which was nice. However, the other cenobites were excluded in this, who are just as amazing as him. It does have a good story and it was a nice little stan...( read more)d-alone piece, I just felt there was something missing.

    This entry in the Hellraiser series is a laughable on...( read more)e. The acting is terrible except from Doug Bradley as Pinhead who is always awesome. The direction is scatter shot and each scene doesn't exactly relate well to the last scene especially when our main character is running down a deserted street in the city and is being chased by the cinobites.

    Something is telling me I should've watched Part 2 instead. I guess I'll never learn.
