Summary: Creepy and thought provoking
Review: This movie is unique and not at all what I expected. It starts out like a typical detective story, then escalates into a real mindbender, and ends with a fascinating vision of a personal hell. It was surprisingly entertaining. For a direct to video sequel, it's simply fabulous.

Summary: Attention all Hellraiser fans......
Review: Don't bother with this one. I guess that I should have been warned when it started out without the traditional Hellraiser music and a line that said "Based on characters by Clive Barker". This movie was 99 minutes long and I'm willing to bet that if I clocked the time Pinhead spent in the movie, it wouldn't be above 3 minutes. Talk about a Cameo appearance by the star! No real suspense, gore, or real excitement. Not to mention the plot was fairly removed from the rest of the movies. This definitely ranks as the worst of the series. An extreme disappointment to a Pinhead fan!I read another review here on Amazon where someone raved this movie. I guess that this one may be like "Blair Witch". Either you're going to love it or you're going to hate it. There's nothing in between. Personally, I bought this movie sight unseen (since I'm a megafan) but I'm debating keeping it so that I have the entire collection of movies or going to E-Bay with it. Not sure yet, but I'm quite sure I won't be watching it again.

Summary: A disappointment.......
Review: Ever since I heard there was going to be a new Hellraiser movie, I kept checking the internet to find out up-to-date info. on it and anxiously awaiting it's release. What a disappointment when I finally got it and watched it. I had to watch it again because I could not believe this was what I was waiting for all this time for, but it was.. It does not even deserve the Hellraiser logo in it's title. The story is a cross between a NYPD Blue episode and Jacobs Ladder. A cop is trying to solve a bunch of murders that are all connected to him....but cenobites are haunting his thoughts. The cenobites are extremely cheesy looking. The twin cenobites look terrible and the half chattering cenobite is a joke! And where the hell is pinhead? He makes a 1 second appearance in the beginning of the flick and is not heard of again until the last few minutes. And unfortunately he has nothing to say even then. What happened to all those cool quotes they used to have for him in all those other movies like, "We'll tear you sour apart" or "Your suffering will be legendary, even in hell", and in parts III and IV he goes on and on about all types of suffering. But in this movie, absolutely nothing! And the make up for him is awful. It looks like he dipped his head in some oatmeal and then placed pins in his face. Just dreadful! And finally the music: In the first two movies Christopher Young did a phenomenal job with the scores. In III and IV the music was not as good but you KNEW it was a Hellraiser score, especially when pinhead first arrives in the picture. But here, the music is absolutely unbearable. Not even a trace of the familiar Hellraiser tones. Pathetic really. As a HUGE Hellraiser fan I am utterly upset that this movie even exists. It cheapens the whole series and should never have been made. I hope this helps because if you are excited about seeing this... don't get your hopes up.

Summary: All the small things
Review: Hellraiser: Inferno (Scott Derrickson, 2000) As I sat watching Derrickson's morality play, the fifth in the Hellraiser series of films, I kept wondering which of last night's two choices was more disappointing-- Fight Club for the inestimable letdown at the end, or Inferno, which was just plain mediocre all the way through? I do have to say, I went into this with higher hopes than usual for the nth film in a series the original director and writer disowned years ago, mostly because Derrickson directed the critically-acclaimed short Love in the Ruins back in '95, and the film actually drew some decent B-list names in Craig Sheffer (Fire with Fire, nightbreed, A River Runs Through It) and Nicholas Turturro (NYPD Blue and a number of Spike Lee Joints). Add in Flora and Fauna from Addams Family Values as the newest (and most creative since the first film) pair of Cenobites, and how bad could it be, really? In all honesty, it wasn't thoroughly awful. Derrickson gave the film a cheesily earnest naivete that's charming to watch, in places, and once you've figured out that what you've got here is the quintessential medieval morality play (which most viewers will have gotten in the first five minutes; Derrickson uses the first two scenes to paint "corrupt cop" in huge red letters), you can half-pretend Chaucer wrote the original script, and Derrickson has just updated it with the proper amount of gore for a Hellraiser-series film, and the whole thing becomes somewhat ludicrous, in a dreamlike way. And the ending really does work quite nicely, as far as medieval morality plays go. I'd probably not have noticed the film's real failing had I not just watched Fight Club. But still, you throw the dice and they fall how they fall. Michael Shamus Wiles, for example, plays a key role in one portion of the film (coincidentally, he's also the bartender wearing the head brace towards the end of Fight Club!), and the way in which he delivers his last line, "that, I expect, is the object of the game," is a cut below the way it would have been delivered by a top-notch actor along the lines of Norton or Pitt. It's a small thing, one of a number of small things that combine to drop this film below the level it could have been. All the small things add up. ** 1/2

Summary: not much
Review: okay, if your a hellraiser fan prepare to be disapointed. this one is way better than that awful boring hellraiser:bloodline,it has a great story to it but not much hellraiser action. the ending is the most stupidest ending of all and the gore is pretty week and the new cenibites are bogus,the story is very good and pinhead was quite amusing but you only see him for five minutes.the conclusion is quite boring and tastless,so if your a die hard fan, don't expect much.

Summary: Outer Limits Maybe..
Review: This was totally not in the realm of the previous Hellraiser movies! What little screen time the cenobites got was devoted mostly to a pair of "twins" that look more like residents of Who-ville than demons. Pinhead only makes a cameo and could have been replaced with Rod Serling [and the story would make a lot more sense]. There was nothing shocking, scary or even the least bit engrossing in the whole movie. The characters talk about the "carnage" at murder scenes and then we see a blood-spattered body. So? We can see that on the news. That is not carnage. The entire story is better explained by the main character's drug abuse rather than the puzzle box & cenobites. This would have been an okay episode of the Outer Limits or Twilight Zone, but it is not a Hellraiser.

Summary: Inferno
Review: I have seen all the Hellraiser from the real good first and second, to the mediocre third and fourth, but the fifth is by far the worst of the lot.. The story is confusing and not very interesting, in fact it is down right dull..

Summary: A New Direction
Review: I have seen an advanced copy since I work in a video store - The third and forth weren't too good since it lost the idea of the first two of the horrors that result when a person reaches for the vast pleasures and pains of the square - This one stops turning pinhead into a Jason like stalker and returns to the psycological horror aspect - This one is not like the others though on a total horror scale - It is a lot like Seven - As a huge fan of the series I can happily say that this installation returns the great reputation to Hellraiser!

Summary: Extreme Lack of series, but a decent movie
Review: I caught the advanced version of this as I work at a video store. The storyline is weak and confusing, and the overall following of the Hellraiser series isn't that great either. This movie would be a great start for a Hellraiser television series but all in all not a great movie. If you have to see it either rent it or get the DVD. It's definately not worth $100 you can wait
Rating:
Summary: Not worth my time
Review: If you are a true fan of hellraiser you will notice that this is not a hellraiser movie, is just some dumb director tried to use the hellraiser formula but it didnt work, is just a waste of time. If you want the good stuff go see hellraiser 1,2,3 & maybe 4. so dont waste your time on a stupid detective/soap opera story
