in the xxii century an architect by the name of merchant ( bruce ramsay ) commandeer a space station and which he personally design . a can be predict a special force be send to retake the expensive station and put merchant into custody . upon arrival they find him partake in a weird ritual with the use of a mysterious cubical . during interrogation he reveal that they must let him finish and what he have start or else the hell he have release will bathe in blood . in order to convince the officer hold him captive he reminisce about his heritage and about the toymaker who build the box and about the reason a to why he be here in space . the movie that be essentially the same to hellraiser and that the quickening be to highlander . something to be ignore and forget and a so it would not influence the lore of hellraiser to much . by far the most trashy of the franchise with a much more low grade feel to it than it predecessor ( who let face it be b or c class film ) . act at time seem to be influence by a mid budget porn flick with wooden unbelievable performance and that actually have you thinking represent so when be they go to undress and start with the intercourse . surprisingly not much sex in the movie and albeit the introduction of the seductress demon angelique ( a totally superfluous character that unnecessarily mess with what we know of the world of hellraiser ) offer ample opportunity for the love making . basically the movie consist of three abruptly paste together separate short story ( one in the future and one in the present and one in the past ) which lack focus and be rush along in amateurish fashion . the end result be extremely poor and basically underline by the fact you have no interest into what happen to any of the character in the film . some decent gore in the flick and but apart from that an utter failure .
