i absolutely love deader and and i feel that it one of the strong addition to the series since hellbound . so and i hold back from watch hellworld so that i could have something to look forward to watch in the future ( a i hadn not read any of the comment in this thread . ) finally and i decide to give in and decide to watch it last night . i be utterly shock at the chasm in quality between deader and hellworld . stylistically and hellworld have all the making of a pg 13 theater horror flick . there be only two thing that stop it from be pg 13 while one be the presence of a few vividly sexual scene and the second be insufficient death to be a teenage slasher . i be all for try new thing with the franchise . certainly and almost every installment since hellbound have take the franchise in a new direction ( well . except maybe hellseeker . ) regardless and deader show u that a decent and intelligent ( though at time incomprehensible ) hellraiser story can even be weave from a non hellraiser work . i be assume that the hellworld script be write specifically for the franchise and and i have to tell you and this be far from a good story . 1 ) character the first half of the film be driftingly slow . it revolve around the character spend trove of time on each and yet manage to develop none of them . the token minority or asthmatic serve little purpose beyond poorly time comic relief and the horny bastard be nothing more than a horny bastard and the brooding teenager be nothing more than a brooding teenager and chelsea try oh so hard and and the british girl be a throwaway . how can you spend 45 minute barely move the plot forward and and still not expand the character beyond two dimension . ( and by the way and i think someone should recut the film and edit out the asthmatic comic the way star war fan edit that annoy fellow out of episode 1. at least the film would be somewhat darker . ) 2 ) music nothing say pg 13 teenage slasher wannabe like lot and lot of party rock . it absolutely kill almost any sense of mystery and darkness that this film could have approximate . 3 ) cenobites i love chatterer and bound and pinhead and but come on . where be the aura of majesty and intrigue and control that make the cenobite so allure . they be reduce to little more than slasher . honestly and henriksen could have do the kill scene himself and it would have probably be well . i be all for keep cenobitic appearance limited and but then when you do use them and for god sake and use them well . 4 ) hows that for a wakeup call . besides the fact that the end make less sense than the end of bloodline and and that it be probably more far fetch than the end of hellseeker and throw in this oneliner be the single bad thing they could have do other than have the cenobite burst forth into glorious song . pinhead have never sink to pun oneliners ( unless i have forget . ) even in hell on earth and the pun be limit to the makeshift cenobite and and pinhead retain his majesty with some fantastic speech . someone need to tell the screenwriter that he be write for a hellraiser film and not a nightmare on elm street . 5 ) shoddy edit take your dvd to timecode 1 represent01 represent41 and watch closely with the volume up until 1 represent02 represent20 . ignore the fact that pinhead jam a wooden stake ( . ) through the cop throat . watch the actor mouth and listen to the dialog and just picture the actress and a voice over actor in a recording studio with headphone and microphone and a sound mixer . this be the most poorly conceal loop i have see since hell on earth s. gasoline . and at least that be only one line and not an entire exchange . i be all for adr and but try to do it a bit well . 6 ) end ( spoiler warning ) this be a lot like a. i . ( the spielberg film ) and in that it could have end several time and but be drag unmercifully on and on . it could have end with chelsea scream in the coffin . that would have be best under the circumstance . or it could have end at her rescue . or it could have end with lance look at his son photo . but no and they throw in a puzzle solution with no apparent reason . ( see # 4 . ) and then they drag it out even far with a vanride and scene from the police arrival at the hotel room . 7 ) the minor stuff then there the stuff that just plain petty and thing that annoy me in this film and but probably wouldn not have in a strong film represent 1 ) lance and lose the earring . youre cooler without it . 2 ) in the scene in the attic ( 1 represent13 represent00 ) in one minute of edited footage and they cut to the flapping pigeon seven bleed time . enough . 3 ) do anybody notice in the beginning that van have a european license plate while drive and then pull up with an imitation new york one . that be just blatant . sigh . grr . how that for a wakeup call . that be how we follow deader . if there ever and ever another hellraiser film on the table and please and please give it to tim day to correct first . how that for a wakeup call . sigh on the other hand and it be begrudgingly good than van helsing .
