Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
adonis98-743-186503 A shady businessman attempts to piece together the details of the car crash that killed his wife, rendered him an amnesiac, and left him in possession of a sinister puzzle box that summons monsters. Hellraiser: Hellseeker once again has nothing new to offer except more sadism but also more blood and cruelty plus i did not care for the storyline or any of the characters in general. The ending of course had a twist like any actual human being would expect but also a twist that did not work at all once again because why would it now? right? Garbage fire Seeker!!
KineticSeoul I really don't understand why some critics are claiming this is one of the better sequels in this franchise. This is the most boring and least interesting entry in my opinion. With every sequel it seems to go away from being a actual "Hellraiser" movie. The constant hallucinations is overdone and the unfaithful husband deal was already done in the 5th installment. I just couldn't really comprehend the direction of this movie and not in a good way either. It basically seemed like a horror tale from "Tales from the Crypt" or one of those "8 Films to Die For". Sure, the movie is about facing your demons and such, but it has been done before and better in the previous installments. This movie just didn't have much going on, so it just has bunch of hallucinations thrown in it with Pinhead basically just showing up at the very end mostly. If certain "Hellraiser" elements weren't in this movie, this movie by itself would be crap. I personally think it's because I saw the other "Hellraiser" movies that I am being lenient with this one. Because by itself, this movie is just garbage. I thought this would be a decent installment since Ashley Laurence is making a return in this as Kirsty Cotton Gooden who was in the first 2 "Hellraiser" movies. I don't know why she even bothered to be in this one besides for the paycheck. She is almost non-existent in this flick and I thought it would be Kirsty facing her demons one more time. The focus is far away from Pinhead and the cenobites as a matter of fact, it just seems like they are just something just tagged onto this flick. At least the 5th installment had psychedelic visuals. This movie sucks and it sucks even more that Kirsty is wasted in this. I give this a 2.3, because the ending is cool I guess.2.3/10
James Croxton A slight improvement from its predecessor but definitely not on par with any of the other films in the franchise. Sure it was great to see Kirsty Cotten once again, but the storyline was simply too "out-there" and simply not Hellraiser status.I guess my problem with this film is how it just confused the heck out of me. I am not sure if this was done on purpose or it was lack of experience by the director or even a screenwriter. Overall, this film is okay. I wouldn't say it is the worst installment in the franchise, but it is definitely far from the best.. well.. not even close to the top five. If you have some spare time that you don't care to have back, take this film for a ride and see how you like it. Maybe you'll feel different about it than I do.
gavin6942 A shady businessman attempts to piece together the details of the car crash that killed his wife (Ashley Laurence) and rendered him an amnesiac -- and left him in possession of a sinister puzzle box that summons monsters.So, here we go... a Hellraiser film with little or no connection to the other films. Sure, you say it is connected because of Kirsty Cotton and the puzzle box. But no, you are just falling for their trick.What we actually have here is two films trying to act as one. We have Kirsty and the puzzle box (again), and her making a deal with Pinhead. I think this went partially out of character for her, but basically stayed within the realm of the Hellraiser mythology.But then we also have a story of a man who cannot remember if he killed his wife or if she died in a car accident or what actually happened. And had his wife been anyone other than Kirsty, it still would have made a good story -- and, in fact, probably would have been a better one.Because when you mix them, here comes the problem: the twist of bringing up Hellraiser basically reveals the plot surrounding the husband to not really matter, therefore making the first two-thirds of the movie completely pointless in retrospect. Instead of two decent movies, they decided to breed and make one really terrible, ugly film. And that was just stupid...
