I’m just here to warn everyone that the poster is a lie. That plot description is a lie. That Bota guy wanted to be a soft-core director but got stuck making Hellraisers. They even made the poster look like Pinhead and the Matrix were gonna ugh hghghghgggjf8,skxmfkr

Well it's jam-packed with Bota's trademark of someone hallucinating and suddenly waking up. It's really annoying. Especially after seeing his previous two Hellraiser films. It tries to become self-aware, like Scream, but ends up just feeling tacky and uninteresting, not to mention there's a good portion of plotholes. Oh yes and who can forget the fact it's basically Hellraiser: THE INTERNET. That's the only laughably bad part as the rest of the film is just... well... bad.

I'm a fan of Pinhead, but until the reboot of the franchise we can forget about anything better than something that appears to have been written by a man who has about a hundred nails hammered into his brain. This movie, rather than a diabolical hell-scape, is a horribly boring slasher.

Another deviation from the series, this is the "New Nightmare" of Hellraiser. A group of irritating 20-something Hellraiser fans are invited to a Hellraiser themed party by Lance Henrickson and OMG derrrr guess what? Pinhead actually hacks someone's head off with a cleaver. More boobs than usual at least, and some ok kills even if they were not Hellraiser-like. But it had the dumbest ending I have ever seen in my life. Worse than 4, somehow.

At what point do you sever ties with a series? I would say after this one.

Hellraiser is the worst horror franchise of all time.

Dire.

What if Hellraiser was about nubiles teens going in a scary house for the night? Oh, right, it'd be as bad as a movie about nubile teens going in a scary house for the night. Also, not Hellraiser.

Bota's last two Hellraiser movies remind me of Elkayem's two Return of the Living Dead movies. Boy they suck. 5 points for Lance Henriksen!

Easily the worst of all the Hellraisers and that's saying something. This could be a cheesy horror classic if it didn't take itself so seriously. Pinhead on the Web? Yep.

Travesty. Pinhead is reduced to someone running around cutting peoples head off.

A shitty horror movie that became a shitty Hellraiser movie because Doug Bradley had a few days to spare and needed the paycheck I guess. You've gotta love the killer's motivation in this one. "My neglected son killed himself because he was playing some online game... Hmm. Nothing left for me to do but kill all his friends a few years later in a ridiculously elaborate scheme."

bad movie

If not for having Katheryn Winnick in leather pants to look at, I would score this much worse. It's obvious the filmmakers were told to modernize by making this about dopey & horny teens (why are teens from slasher movies SOO annoying?) at a rave who are also online game players. But since this is post-Scream, they're also self-aware. You have to endure Pinhead acting like a slasher (God, no) before there's a genuine twist to explain it all. It's not satisfying though & the rest is bad ideas.

Hellraiser meets teen-slasher. It's not much better than the others in terms of ... anything, but it is more watch-able. Again Pinhead is a guest in his own franchise, and has little to do with the overall plot. But hey: it does feature Lance Henriksen!

Really, what have they done to a perfectly serviceable horror icon? This is nothing but a cheap slasher movie dressed up as a hellraiser horror movie. Complete with 'is it/isn't it' ending and the current focus of the hellraisers on hell being 'inside your own head'. Not very convincing when you think about it. Terrible.

Garbage that just cashes in on the name

Rewatch. Pretty much mediocre rather than awful, which is a huge step up for the Hellraiser series. It could almost be construed as an interesting take on how interpersonal relationships become illusory thanks to technology, or it could just also be unintentionally funny because of how dumb everyone is. Either way, better than most of the garbage.
1	Groovy_Souls	10 _3rd
Very, very obviously not meant to be a Hellraiser film. Down to its almost complete lack of Pinhead, to its weird rave/slasher plot. Nothing makes any sense. The story is convoluted but so simply bad. It's one of the worst.
1	Yiannos	30 _2nd
Hellraiser gets the Scream treatment. The comparison is cemented by the presence of Henriksen and the victims being dispatched in a large mansion full of hidden rooms, which is vaguely reminiscent of S3. The meta references don't work because they are neither clever or interesting, nor do they advance the plot in any meaningful way. Pinhead has been reduced to delivering bad puns, and the acting is terrible. Bota's stylistic tics are also more grating than they were in Hellseeker and Deader.

well, at least there are some cute boys in it.
