    It's a shame to see this sequel being slated for being different. Hellseeker moves away from being another low budget, direct-to-video Hellraiser installment and instead provides an original spin on a dying franchise.

    This sequel doesn't need cheap gore effects to create a good ...( read more)Horror atmosphere, it also shows Pinhead doesn't need to physically harm his victims to make them suffer, at least not straight away ;) this makes Pinhead a more calculated character, watching him toy with his victims emotions!

    highly recommended!

    This is pretty much the same plot basis as Inferno, but now Dean Winters (who I'll always remember for his role on OZ) is in the lead seat. It's an okay film and it does have some admirable moments where the crew is really trying, but it nevers works. I was never scared, and this...( read more) entry more than any other makes me believe that Dimension has just got twenty or so Cenobite full scale models and they just slap a few of em in some doorways anytime they want to make another Hellraiser because they don't hardly move and they don't serve any purpose. As usual, Pinhead gets the coolest visual treament and there's a nice shot of him in a three way mirror, but that's where this movie's ingenuity ends. The plot is a typical back-on-itself amnesia based thriller, and it's just a messy mess. Hellraiser fans won't like it, and modern horror fans get less scare and gore than needed. Thriller fans will just feel outright patronized and annoyed.

    Honestly I'm a sucker for Dean Winters. Plus Ashley Laurence.

    Another in the Hellraiser series where they take us through one character's personal Hell. This one was very enjoyable, with a nice appearance by Ashley Laurence (the main girl "Kirsty" from the first Hellraiser film.) But she's apparently dead, and her husband goes through one n...( read more)ightmarish situation after another, with weird and awful things happening to him. The plot twists around so you never know what's really real until it's all over; I like those sort of movies. Expect to see a puzzle-cube (aka "Lament Configuration") and some Cenobytes (Hellraiser demons) before it's all over.

    A lot better than I thought it would be. Fits in quite well with the Hellraiser series.

    all hellraisers but one are some of the best horror movies ever

    not like the first part

    Followed the style of "Inferno", also having a tortured character as the main protagonist. Many twists and turns, and Pinhead is, as expected, back to collect more souls. Unlike "Inferno", "Hellseeker" have some boring sequences, and also quite forgettable. But Ashley Laurence's ...( read more)reprisal of her character Kirsty Cotton earned a star in my 3-star rating...

    Takes more of a watered down Jacob's Ladder approach and the Cenobites are rarely seen. Quite possibly one of the most predictable endings ever.
  • July 5, 2009
    forgettable entry to the series. Still a fan none the less
