Watch Hellraiser: Hellseeker For Free

Overrated

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is nice to see Ashley Lawrence form the original two films return to the franchise. I enjoyed Kirsty back and reference to the first film. This installment is essentially a murder mystery as detectives try to solve a missing person case. This is certainly much better than 3, 4 & 5 in the series. The storyline is unfortunately confusing due to constant dreams and hallucinations. Pinhead also only arrives an hour into the movie, and then disappears again for a bit only to return for the finale. Great twist ending. Dean Winters is very good in the role of Kirsty's husband, Trevor.

Dean Winters, you know, who played Ryan O Reilly in HBO's OZ, and that guy from those pesky All State commercials stars as another unscrupulous character who must make his entry into hell for cheating on wife, Ashley Lawrence (from the first Hellraiser film). Overall, this installment in the franchise series is very much like the last "Hellraiser Inferno", but lacks depth or originality. Winter's character undergoes amnesia and must slowly put the pieces together of his former life in which he committed sinful acts that eventually lead him to Pinhead and the cenobites. Its a tedious venture that blends hallucinations with reality as Winters wanders around in confusion and persecution during his trial. Expect very little gore, few thrills, and no nudity. This is almost like a TV-14 rated episode of American Horror Story rather than a full-blown Hellraiser movie. It tries to redeem itself in the climax as Pinhead reveals Winter's memory and a plot to steal back the soul of Lawrence's character, but is inevitably predicable. Doug Bradly's return as Pinhead is profound as usual, but beautiful Ashley Lawrence is tragically wasted.

...about this sequel not as good as the one before, I thought it was better then the fourth movie in the series for so far.The most of the movie. I was really confused, as the movie kept on going, I just kept on getting more and more confused..I did not understand what the hell was going for most of the movie, I just found the whole movie to be very bizarre.I did not find that boring, there were some dull parts that drag on bit but that really, found this sequel well worth watching.I Clad that Kirsty returned in this movie to have a connections to the early movies in the seriesI really liked the the ending, it really took me by surprised as did not seeing coming at all,Over I thought it was very decent sequel but it did not have many bloody moment in this at all, i thought it even less gory then one before, which had very little gory in it.I give this 5 out of 10

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...
