atrocity be the one word definition for this film . i dare say even hellraiser represent bloodline and hellraiser represent inferno be good than this film . while pinhead great presence in this one than in the last be a welcome change and the hellraiser movie be never originally about him or the cenobite and even though they seem to have evolve in that direction and which and with proper directing and writing and could have be a good thing . where to start . the acting be subpar at best and even compare to b movie and even ashley lawrence and who do an excellent job in the first two film and delivers an underwhelming performance and let alone the job do by the protaganist trevor . ( i be sorry i have make no reservation to learn any of the name from this film . ) it not to be blame all on the actor and though . sometimes a great actor or actress be hinder by the writing ( i. e. natalie portman by george lucas dialogue and see her in the professional or something else ) . and a warning and the writing be indecent and jerky and unnatural . the movie also doesn not feel quite at home carry the hellraiser title and aside from pinhead and the cenobite presence and the occassional flash of the lament configuration . it doesn not possess the masterful storytelling of clive barker imagination . warn to the die hard fan and your nit picking will be far bad than this general and though wordy and comment ( such a pinhead costume and if youre very observant and you will know what i be talk about ) . if youre hop for a return to the root and prepare for disillusion . i have love all the hellraiser movie and thus far and except iii and which i have yet to see and but even this one wrench my gut . save your money and your time and go to the movie and put down the eight buck for red dragon or whatever else float your boat .
