adonis98-743-186503 A shady police detective becomes embroiled in a strange world of murder, sadism and madness after being assigned a murder investigation against a madman known only as "The Engineer". Hellraiser: Inferno offers nothing new to the Series except perhaps the dumb and quite silly storyline that we have seen like i don't know? 10 times by now? The acting was not good, the dialogue and script were terrible and the overall film as a whole pretty damn stupid and confusing plus it tried way too much on becoming smart which it was far from being one. (0/10)
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.
jackvictore Its no secret that this franchise has become somewhat mistreated as of late. Some of them better than others. This is one that I would consider to be on the better side of the line. Being made in the year 2000 puts this movie in danger of having too much computer generated imagery. Surprisingly, the CGI in this movie is done more tastefully than many modern movies and works well with the nightmarish story. This movie feels authentic with the appearance of original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley. Though his appearances are few in this rendition his presence is looming, sophisticated, and frightening as ever. The plot of this movie works well and follows the lore of the more respectable Hellraiser stories. I give this film 5 bags of popcorn! For a truly captivating experience try watching this film in your childhood home.
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.
