I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Why so much hype?
Really Surprised!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Terrible. All elements of a teenager horror movie. history without any sense, weak performances, left the true story of the film. That movie reminded me of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
So once again, we have a good premise for a story that isn't fully developed, which in turn weakens the film. Hellworld is a computer RPG and puzzle game starring Pinhead and the Cenobites. Years later, a party is being held for a select group of gamers. To get an invite you just have to solve a puzzle. A group of five friends solve their way into the party. Once there, they meet the host, a mysterious man who has decked out the mansion with a whole host of gruesome oddities. It's not long before the blood starts to spill...It was a treat to see Lance Henriksen in a Hellraiser film... except that it's not a Hellraiser film. Out of the new series, this is the furthest off the mark... however, it is more enjoyable than the rest. Even though the twist in the tale spoils the film, in respect to it being a Hellraiser movie, it actually makes it a decent psychological thriller. Not the best as it's all been seen before, but still very watchable.The other point at odds is the acting. This isn't as strong a cast the previous flicks only Henriksen and Bradley stand out. The rest of the cast is quite average. I'll also wager this film wasn't mentioned when Cavell went up for the Superman role, But for once, the direction helps to keep the audience's attention. Bota is quite good at creating a lively party atmosphere. He even keeps the pace tripping along to the beat. This is a great surprise as his previous takes on the Hellraiser mythos have been quite meandering, even verging on boring.The major drawback to this film is the gaping holes in the story, which I cannot go into detail about because it would spoil the film for those of you thinking of watching. There are way too many inconsistencies to be explained in the film and this damages the story and lessens the enjoyment.What this film needed was a much better thought out story taking into account the Cenobites as main characters and not just add-ons. It could be done and it wouldn't have taken too much to accomplish.If you are thinking about watching the film then I would say to give it a go but remember it's not a real Hellraiser story... in fact, it's not actually a horror film. If you like psychological thrillers, with a dark supernatural twist, then you should delight in this movie.
This is NOT a good Hellraiser FILM, it only has the Hellraiser name slapped on it along with Cenobites thrown in to make it a HELLRAISER FILM and when watching this film I noticed that this was your typical 2000s "Straight to the K-mart 2 dollar bin* Garbage, Terrible, Terrible, Terrible.... IMDb won't let me give it a 0 out of 10. Just 1.
Don't why but I blame Halloween: Resurrection (2002) for this , I hated that so much, yet this is not as bad that but it that far be hide it all. Most of the movie I just had Halloween 8 all over again. I thought last was really bad but this one even worse one in the whole series (No I won't counting in the Revelations as not going bother with it all )Gamers playing a MMORPG based on the "Hellraiser" franchise find their lives endangered after being invited to a rave whose host intends to show them the truth behind the Cenobite mythos.I found first half of hour of movie was just a waste of time, were nothing really happens, I Don't mind slow start, at least give us something to chew on for a bit but nothing.Then the teens are getting killed in this movie , some of the death scene are bloody but in a way they looked really cheap.the effect were not that good at all, However did seem have a bit more bloody moment in this movie then last few sequels (Which dose not make good Hellrasier movie)The acting ( If you can call it that) from all teens. they were do dame annoying. i was fast forward some parts of the movie, voice started get on nerve.And the twist was was utter rubbish, its so predicable from the first moment the movie startedThe bland twist kind fitted in well with rest of the movie which was very bland indeed.1 out of 10
