Pretty Good

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Upon first viewing, I disliked this film for being so different but then again I watched it 5 years later and actually think differently of it. 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" and I must say, this is a good film, it's not awful like some may say, but I will say that there will be times in which you think "Wait...it's been several minutes already, where's pinhead?" This movie is different compared to 3 and 4 and is alike to the 1st and 2nd films. Pinhead is your typical Priest of hell and is NOT your typical bad guy like he was portrayed in 3 and 4. He doesn't go around creating Cenobites to go hunt down the Lead Actor, he however psychologically messes with our lead character (Joseph Thorne)of which he soon comes to the realization of the horrifying events that are unfolding around him. This is a good film but I believe they could of done a bit more to make it more interesting than what it was. I'd like to give it a 5 out of 10 but feel as though it's not that Great, so I'll be giving it a 3 out of 10.

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.

Hellraiser: Inferno is just what this series and the Horror genre in general need a double helping of style and substance.Scott Derrickson, the director of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" had to get his full-length horror/sci fi film genre chops somewhere. He did that by directing and co-writing "Hellraiser: Inferno," the fifth film in the "Hellraiser" series. Not only is this film on par with Clive Barker's original nightmare, it shamefully went straight to video.Craig Sheffer is outstanding as Joseph Thorne, our anti-hero. He is a Denver detective with a knack for solving complicated puzzles and cases. He also has a knack for snorting cocaine, stealing crime scene evidence, and visiting prostitutes. He ignores his wife and young daughter, wrapping himself up in every case. His partner, Tony (Nicholas Turturro), is more grounded, with a wife and two kids of his own. In the beginning of the film, the pair investigate the brutal murder of an acquaintance from Joseph's high school years. The man was literally torn apart, and also found at the scene was the finger of an unidentified child, and a strange wooden puzzle box. Joseph takes the box, later picks up a hooker, and after another night of debauchery, solves the puzzle box in a seedy motel while the hooker sleeps.Derrickson has crafted an ugly looking film along the lines of "Seven." He crosses the taboo line in that children are victims of this world (and the afterlife). He also rivets the viewer, as the case's turns become more and more unexpected. Derrickson co-wrote the screenplay with Paul Harris Boardman, and they come up with both a clever police procedural as well as a spooky demonic film.Joseph's voice-over narration is as necessary as Harrison Ford's in "Blade Runner," "Hellraiser: Inferno" is by far the strongest entry in the series, full of horror and interesting ideas, as well as some excellent performances and suspenseful plotting. Good stuff all around.Pinhead: It's all a puzzle, isn't it, Joseph? Like a game of chess, perhaps. The pieces move, apparently aimlessly, but always towards one single objective: to kill the king. But who is the king in this game, Joseph? That is the question you must ask yourself.

Inferno, the fifth film in the Hellraiser franchise and the first to go straight to DVD, stars Craig Sheffer as corrupt police detective Joseph Thorne, who snorts drugs and screws hookers instead of spending time with his attractive wife Melanie (Noelle Evans) and young daughter Chloe (Lindsay Taylor). After Thorne takes a strange puzzle box—the Lament Configuration—from the scene of a crime (as well as a vial of cocaine, which he shares with his next hooker), he finds himself entering a hellish world where he is plagued by his worst nightmares and a mysterious killer known as The Engineer.With solid direction by Scott Derrickson and good performances all round, this is a technically proficient sequel, but it does suffer from a storyline that treads an awful lot of water: once Thorne fiddles with the Lament Configuration and enters its domain, there isn't an awful lot in the way of plot progression (or Cenobite action, for that matter), the remainder of the film consisting of a series of confusing incidents that, while undeniably atmospheric, only serve to waste time until the final revelation, which isn't all that unexpected when it arrives. Think 'noir mystery crossed with Jacob's Ladder' and you have Hellraiser: Inferno.5.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 6 for IMDb.
