Hellraiser Inferno Review

[@Downs2440]

It was an okay film, but my main problem with it is that Pinhead isn't an executor of divine punishment...he's there to show you pleasure and pain indivisible. He doesn't judge sin, as he indulges in it on a daily bases in his hedonism and sadomasochism.

[@justintahair9119]

yea this one was ok compared to hellraiser hellseeker thats just about where the series went down hill right about when rick bota directed or take over the project

[@chesspunk489]

@@justintahair9119 it went downhill with this movie.

[@psychogoreman198]

*Pinhead* " Explorers in the further regions of experience. *Demons to some, Angels to others*

[@Burner-B]

That's why I view every sequel more as elseworld stories than actual sequels, none of them use that in any way whatsoever. such a shame, as it gives SO many interesting avenues to explore in sequels!

[@Sam-Lawry]

If you check the old hellraiser comics from 90s,the cenobites punish bad people.

[@michaelfreeman3189]

This one wasn't bad for the series. I really enjoyed how they represented the main character's own personal hell in this movie.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

Yeah, I thought it will be worse, like the previous one.

[@darkbladetri]

its not really a bad movie but it wasn't really hellraiser they just threw that in because they were greedy the execs rather not the writers as you see for the rest of the movies

[@MrDegsy69]

darkbladetri I quite liked this one as at least it seemed partially credible. If you've ever seen Jacobs Ladder there are some interesting parallels with that. It is not a really a pinhead movie as such which in the light of the other direct to video series that followed is no bad thing. If they had maintained this standard throught the entire franchise there could have been some interesting incarnations.

[@RJIS]

Michael Freeman it’s horrible

[@doomislav5791]

Yea that aspect is fine - kinda like Jacob's Ladder

[@markusvampyre]

If I'm not mistaken, I remember seeing a interview with Clive Barker regarding his Hellraiser story, and how he literally walked away from the characters since the movie studio went on to make the story about one character (Pinhead), instead of what it was actually about- the BOX. In fact, Pinhead wasn't intended to be the lead, as the cenobites were supposed to be guardians and gate keepers of the box. The female cenobite was as much a lead as Pinhead was intended to be, as well as Butterball and Chatterer. This movie, in my opinion, returned the story to where it was meant to be from the start, which is this- you open the box, the cenobites come and take you to your own personal 'hell'. The idea that the human mind cannot comprehend what is happening in that 'Dante's Inferno' may be interpreted as the world before opening the box, and in the case of the crooked Detective (while investigating a murder case), gets pulled into the 'hell' he created while he was alive, but you don't see that until the very end. I for one thought this was one of the BEST of the Hellraiser films made, because it focused on the person who opened the box, and the consequences of such actions, not just the cenobites (much less Pinhead).

[@dylankaiser5546]

Markus Kroberger if my research is correct Barker’s original intent was to feature Julia as the primary antagonist of the series. But the fans wanted Pinhead

[@christinawilkephillips7684]

I think it's high time I re-watch all my favourite eposodes of yours, let the binging commence!!

[@jsmallz3188]

Doing this now

[@CarlSlime]

Since you mentioned it, Silent Hill with a cenobite twist sounds like a good crossover, especially given all the sexual subtexts from SH2

[@heckhound48]

X'Elias of Rivia I agree but they kinda made that one in three if they edited it slightly

[@billcox8870]

I would like them to do the Hellraiser night breed crossover that was in graphic novels.

[@nexusshark]

This really was more of a Silent Hill movie than it was Hellraiser movie. Silent Hellraiser?

[@BandiCat]

***** Silent Raiser

[@nexusshark]

***** More like Silent Hillraiser. LOL

[@BandiCat]

I guess idk

[@onetwotwo1]

Hell Hill

[@thekeeperofsecrets8551]

Silent HELL

[@xxOnIonExx]

To be honest, I found being trapped the way he was more hellish then a rapid death. His character solves puzzles and being in a physiological puzzle himself that he can't solve or get out of makes sense. If Pinhead killed him the story would just end and I personally prefer him stuck forever in his own unsolvable hell.

[@selemanecu]

late reply but Pinhead got him just like he did with Frank in the first movie "we" from the protagonists perspective just don't realize this. At first! Remember in what kind of Hell Frank was trapped in during the second Movie? The movie is a callback to this.

[@robertwalker6684]

Pinhead is forcing you to watch these movies in your own personal HELL! heehee

[@DeckerShado]

That brings new meaning to "Ironic Hell."

[@bromodragone8405]

Decker Shado Can you review the LOTR and The Hobbit films?

[@alexanderarkum4793]

Robert Walker did the cinema snob and weird al have a baby?

[@pinhead3159]

Robert Walker ya got me

[@daath144occultistmaster5]

There is no free will thus no hell.

[@DemonBoy3223]

As I'm sure we all know, this film's director, Scott Derrickson, has gone on to make a pretty good horror film _Sinister_, and is now up for next month's Marvel film _Doctor_ _Strange_.

[@GenericWhiteBitch1980]

George Bean i didn't know that. Sinister was legendary so yeah the dudes improved a lot

[@danielpeckham5520]

I really liked Inferno, with the whole personal hell thing, inspired by Dantes Inferno.

[@lordmaul3]

I think what escapes a lot ppl about this movie is Joseph was already in hell. The child's finger at the crime scene was the first clue. This movie is about Joseph living in his own personal hell. Living the hell he created for himself by the life he lived. He was forced to face his own demons, and all the ppl he did wrong. Pinhead's dialogue towards the end of the movie explains that. Joseph was the one who didn't realize he was suffering, and being tormented in hell for the bad things he did until the very end. So much for him being a super genius.

[@wugglesx]

i'm curious what the idea for the movie was before they changed it to have pinhead and the puzzle box fit into it.

[@twister305]

I think this movie helps in terms of world building We already knew hell had "personal" hells so I liked getting to see what it feels like to be stuck in one

[@raydiabolico]

Hallo Mr Shado. I'm a fan of your reviews for more then 3 days now, they are amazing and I'm playing catch watching them now. Thanks for the good work. Maybe I'm your #1 fan from Curacao!!!

The Latest news on Hellraiser Series. A new one is coming out in the fall. The plot: A guy on KZbin is dragged by Pin Head into a Personal Hell in which he is forced to watch all the Hellraiser movies.

[@gabinoloyajr6641]

love the hellraiser series and your reviews of them are hilarious cant wait to see your other reviews

[@samburgerwithcheeze8145]

I like how Frank's hell was a tease and this detective's is ground hog day

[@LuxBellator92]

I actually quite enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would. Whilst the nature of how the plot unfolds and Pinhead's involvement isn't really consistent with the rest of the series, I like that this film subverted the expectation to just have one random guy be brutally butchered by Cenobites, which we've seen for the last 4 films. Doing Inferno as a psychological thriller was actually a really neat and unexpected direction for the series, and one I quite enjoyed. The lead character is a douche but it's about him indulging his selfish desires and taboo lusts, which was a prominent theme in the original movie with Frank. It's basically what Hellraiser would have been had it been about Frank and not Kirsty.

[@LilBoyHexley]

Saw this movie when I was a kid and it seriously messed with me. I found the concept of his hell very horrifying.

[@HamTheBacon]

"Why aren't you dead!!!!!!" thats where i lost it. Loving these reviews.

[@tylerrehkopf]

Your editing is really improving , I loved the Neeson bit from Taken

[@DeckerShado]

It helped that this time PowerDirector didn't seem to screw up when it made the shadow file.. Editing HD clips, it creates a low quality duplicate to allow one to edit 10gb files on 8gb of RAM, but on longer files (like movies) they often get out of sync towards the end. Or at least, they appear that way in the editor. Unfortunately, that has lead to many choppy cuts in my reviews. :/

[@goob_goob_gooby_goob]

Going into this film and hearing about The "Engineer", I was expecting a Cenobite building a dispenser off-screen, only to kill the main character with a fully upgraded sentry

[@JonathanFraserMusic]

I actually thought this movie was pretty good. Definitely better than III and IV.

[@lanthelancer]

10:38 Hey, it's Steven Spielberg, he's the one that killed that triceratops! Now I'm angry!

[@FireTiger941]

18:08 Movie mistake... When you fire a 1991 handgun, the action of firing it throws the slide back, cocking the hammer again, or locking the slide back empty on the last round. That gun was just empty, and someone cocked it, eh, but it's still entertaining lol

[@alexanderchippel]

"Who pays for ice cream with hundred dollar bills." I don't know, maybe the same people who buy their drugs from a guy who uses an ice cream truck as a cover?

[@konradcurze939]

But why put his drug money in the legit money spot?

[@alexanderchippel]

@@konradcurze939 It's called money laundering. You pay taxes on your illegal money so you don't get audited and thrown in prison. That's how they took down Al Capone.

[@LouisMinett]

I actually liked this movie, I'm mostly a purist with most films but I also love the Assembly cut of Alien³ I like that this movie did something different, the movies really couldn't have been improved or altered in many other ways without it just being predictable..

[@hatben]

I think the biggest mystery of this film is why it's subtitled, "Inferno" Hellbound, they went to hell. Hell on Earth... Well, it's a stretch but I suppose there were cenobites on Earth doing "hellish" things. Bloodline, it follows the Merchant bloodline over a few centuries. Inferno... Is just a psychological horror mystery. It has nothing to do with fire.

[@RJIS]

Hayden Lueck I can get fire involved. Simply burn the copies of this stupid film

[@gillysummerss]

Based off of Dante’s inferno

[@debbiesuesteele9639]

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

I have to admire the willpower (or nerdpower) people like you have to rewatch these movies one a week to produce these videos. Congratuations and ganbate!!!

[@philbertdez3863]

Thanks for the solid review. I had watched it on DVD when it came out and it was interesting enough to avoid the fast forward button. The central theme of divine retribution was handled hella better in Lost Highway by the great David Lynch in 1997 while the level of violence evokes Alan Parkers Angel Heart (1987). Miramax went the cheap route when they could have contacted Clive Barker about adapting The Thief Of Always or another of his ip. Don't get me wrong the Hellbound Heart is dope but that just one of his stories available at the time and they tend to be very good (at least in my opinion).

[@UltimateNinja1984]

Beautiful Cinematography in this 1.

[@XthegreatwhyX]

I remember hating this movie the first time I saw it. Now it's one of my favourites in the series, after 1 and 2.

[@femoman]

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. As much as this really REALLY doesn't feel like a Hellraiser movie at all, I actually quite like it for what it is: A supernatural psychological horror movie, with Pinhead and a couple of fairly well-designed new Cenobites thrown in for good measure. And personally, that climatic scene of Pinhead expositing about the moral and telling the detective why he's in this personal psychological hell, I actually find it pretty effective. A combination of the melancholy music, the detective's acting, and Pinhead's line (Especially the line "Your flesh is killing your spirit.") does make for a pretty good moment for the movie, and I dunno why but this particular 'kill' feels much more effective and hard-hitting to me than other kills in the Hellraiser franchise.

[@bronykingamethystrain5676]

Very little of the Cenobite formally known as Elliott Spencer on display here

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Thank you for your review as always. I had a great time watching it Decker😊

Silent Hillraiser: The Douche. Are the twins technically the sexy nurses?

[@markusvampyre]

Does 'anyone' know anything on the supposed 'Hellraiser: Origins' film that was being pitched to Hollywood studios to be made? I can't find anything else on it, in whether it's in production or not.

[@SanJuanCreole]

Hellraiser going psychological thriller was a cool way to reintroduce pinhead. He doesn't have to chase you and hook you. Now he plays with your mind. I love Inferno🎉 great review.

Starring guy looks like a discount David Boreanaz.

[@pearljam619]

Another awesome review. Love watching your videos. Thanks for the uploads! 😀

[@MAMoreno]

This film came out only a year after the release of Silent Hill, and the script predates that release. The inspiration for both Inferno and Silent Hill is a 1990 movie called Jacob's Ladder.

[@coreypatton6290]

This is my favorite HELLRAISER movie ever

[@antipax]

The snitch didn't have $100 bills from selling ice cream, Decker... it's from selling drugs. That one's honestly pretty obvious.

[@Moonlightatnight2]

Well this movie dissects an aspect of Hellraiser that's somewhat interesting and that being what the experience of becoming a cenobite might actually be like, at least in the early stages from the perception of a mortal.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Considering the Lament Box configurates itself, it's not much of a puzzle, is it?

[@IchabodTodd678]

Your reviews are more entertaining than the movies :)

[@TheHeroOfTomorrow]

Pinhead goes from physical to psychological torture? Doesn’t really work with the sadomasochistic themes of hellraiser

The first and second are good movies

[@Dirkschneider]

It's true. This is one of the high-points of the sequels. It' certainly better than all the films that came after it and if my memory serves me right, it was also better than Hellraiser Bloodline.

[@ireallylovepie]

I am not going to lie this is actually my favorite of the series, with part two close behind. To keep being honest I am not a fan of this series, and I enjoy this one because pinhead is barely in it.

Yeah, I see the Silent Hill influenced psychological horror themes, but also from the crime thriller drama spliced with the main character monologuing and having shady morals... I also see a bit of film noir influences in this one (even though it's only the stereotypical noir tropes at play)

Or is there the time in between the merchant descendants growing up, and eventually ending in space, and all the time between that, is where these next movies ultimately fit in? Help? I'm confused....
