i be go to agree with everyone here who claim hellworld isn not really a hellraiser movie but i be have an internal debate with myself a to what constitute a hellraiser movie . the original be like hitchcock on acid with an aids allegory . hellbound be a rather plot less runaround but be still reconisably barker inspire . since hell on earth the series show often cynical flaw of be a franchise with a lack of internal continuity and unimaginative repetitive plot . hellworld continue and probably conclude the series the film start with something barker couldn not have envisage 20 year previously people spend their life in front of a computer . somewhat unimaginatively these people be teenager wear cenobite paraphernalia and right away youre remind of wes craven direct a screenplay write by kevin williamson and effectively pinhead meet scream . to be honest though there absolutely no reason for pinhead and co. to be in the movie since the villain be lance henriksen a father who be embitter about the death of his son there all the symbol and iconography and plotting and situation common in all teen slasher film . there also a couple of nod to saw which like hellraiser start off a a well regarded horror film then become a franchise factory churn out sequel to lower acclaim and box office . hellworld isn not a terrible horror film in it own right but there a see it all before feel and people who have enjoy most of the sequel will certainly feel cheat that theyre watch something that could be any type of horror film .
