Watch Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Best movie of this year hands down!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The acting is not great (quite bad, actually) and the actors are not very convincing, especially Kevin Bernhardt as club owner JP Monroe. Even Doug Bradley as Pinhead is not convincing. Pinhead doesn't even look scary. On the contrary, he looks quite serene and sweet, actually. Pinhead is supposed to be this great demon, but he relies on mortals for help. Really?? The plot is ridiculous. Why is Pinhead now killing everyone in sight and not only the ones who opened the box? What's the purpose of the box then? The film became a slasher for no reason. Nothing about this film makes any sense. Why have the rules changed? Why are Pinhead and Captain Elliot Spencer separated if they're the same person? Oh, and what a silly ending...

Here's part three of the Hellraiser Saga... Once again this continues from where the last film ended, though it's a looser connection. The battle between Pinhead (Bradley) and his original human self, Captain Elliott Spencer, allowed him to break free of hells shackles. Entrapped in a monolith, he is awoken by Sandy (Leigh), when an accidental cut splashes blood on his stone features. Revealing himself to JP Monroe (Bernhardt), an unscrupulous womanising club owner, Pinhead makes a deal to free himself from his confines and to help JP to achieve his dreams...This leads to lots of twists and turns in the storyline as you know you can't trust a daemon. The only thing which stands in his way is an aspiring investigative reporter, Joanne "Joey" Summerskill (Farrell), who's investigating the gory and violent murders which are appearing in the city.The first thing that becomes evident is the amount of budget available for this film. Instead of being kept within the confines of a house or a hospital, now we're out in New York City. Penthouses, apartments, clubs, restaurants, ally's and streets. The locations are so much bigger. This is good, as it gives scope for a larger story with more hellish violence and gore... and it nearly delivers. Nearly, because the scene where the Cenobites finally take to the streets is actually underwhelming. What was required were a few more Cenobites and quite a few more victims, both pedestrians and police. It's nice to have explosions... I just wanted more.The acting is okay, Bradley still stands out and is excellent as Pinhead. Farrell does a good job as the reporter. However, it's Bernhardt and Marshall, who plays Terri, who have their bouts of woodenness. The direction too is quite different from the first two, gone are the artistic and atmospheric lighting for a more natural feel. This is okay, but the film does lose a little of its mood and spirit, which added strength to the first two movies. I can understand the need for doing this. If you expand the daemons universe to include a lot more of reality then it stands to reason to get that feeling across would be to lose the more imaginative aspects of the filmmaking. That said there are still quite a few iconic shots, such as the entrance of Pinhead at the club and later in the church, and nicely thought out camera shots and angles.Though I didn't find it as good as the first films it's still as enjoyable, though for different reasons... and as Pinhead would attain, variety is the spice of life.Another good thing is that this film actually works as a stand-alone, you only need a vague idea about the previous stories; whereas, Hellbound actually made you feel as though you should have watched the first film before viewing. So for that reason, I would recommend this to all horror fans and newbies alike. This is a well written, structured, and acted film... which has its fair share of tension, fear, and suspense.

So again I watch this film for the 2nd time in 3 years & again, only remember little bits & pieces due to the lack of interest. Though this one was slightly better than the first 2 it still didn't have an interesting enough of a story despite the change from the first 2 films.This film focuses on a art collector who buys a statue with the Lament Configuration on it along with Pinhead himself. The film focuses on Pinhead & his orgins along with the cenobites in the previous installment as they're revealed to be all human or once before they were transformed. It focuses on how pinhead was once a sgt. in the air force back in the 1920's before he came across the Puzzle Box & was turned evil. He himself asks to be freed from the evil or at least for it to be destroyed.I found the film to be quite decent & had some gory bloody visuals as always. I furthermore, liked the ending climaxed scene with the normal humans who were cenobites walking down the street terrorising everybody! That was great being honest & aside form a few gorgeous actresses here & there. It was more action packed & had a bit more going for it. Though sadly it still wasn't iconic enough.I'd give this film a 5.5 out of 10, it was like I said slightly better then the first 2 installments. But just not enough for it to be totally iconic.

I always get a kick out of watching HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH, which remains an oddly enjoyable movie even though it isn't a patch on the first two in the series. Those were dark, gritty, and thoroughly terrifying horror films, whereas HELLRAISER III is a slick and superficial gore-fest typical of early 1990s Hollywood horror film-making. It's very similar in look and feel to WARLOCK: THE Armageddon and WAXWORK II: LOST IN TIME, other sequels that director Anthony Hickox made during the era. It's lost the disturbing independent vibe but replaced it with superficiality and style.The story this time around sees Pinhead trapped inside a weird statue which ends up being purchased by a sleazy womaniser who runs a nightclub. Before too long, the hellish demon is free to cause havoc once more, this time wandering Earth to claim more victims. The only person who can stop him is Terry Farrell's random protagonist, who just so happens to have possession of the powerful puzzle box.HELLRAISER III most noticeably features plenty of black humour which was missing in the gruelling first two films. My favourite part of the film is the way in which the human characters are turned into Cenobites, each with their own look and special power. The guy who shoots CDs is hilarious as is the cameraman with a literal camera in his head. There's plenty of sloppy gore on offer here and the special effects are pretty good, although Pinhead's "look" is a bit off and he lacks the menace he had in the first two movies. Doug Bradley just doesn't cut it as he did previously.The rest of the cast are little better, with Farrell out of her depth and the others giving occasionally laughable performances, although Paula Marshall is surprisingly effective in her smaller part. Kudos to the special effects team who create all manner of nasty mayhem involving hooks, chains, and other body-flaying scenes of carnage, with the nightclub massacre a particular highlight.
