Hellraiser 7 : Deader is about a journalist for London newspaper named Amy Klein who is sent to Bucharest to investigate an underground suicide cult which is lead by a guy named Clive Barker who possess a power to resurrect the dead. But once Amy pierces the underground scene, she realizes that there’s a certain box connected to the cult.
Like the other Hellraiser 5 and 6 it is another confusing story in which I can't figured out if which is flashback, which is dream and what is real. Amy experienced same tortured scene but different setting that she has a knife at her back and she was dying. Tortured scene started after getting a box from a girl who's known to commit suicide but the truth is the devil on that box do it. At her house Amy drink a few glass of wine and tortured scene started to possess her.
In Hellraiser 6: Hellseeker Kirsty is back and now she is already married to unfaithful husband. Her husband buys a puzzle box as a gift to Kirsty on their anniversary, which lead her to Pinhead again. The movie is much like on Hellraiser 5: Inferno. Scenes are too confusing in which you can't identified the truth. At first I thought Kirsty died in a car accident but at the end of the story I realized that his husband is the one who died on the car accident because she killed him for being unfaithful to her. When Pinhead gets Kirsty she promised to give 5 souls in exchange of her life. This reveals that Kirsty is the one who kills on Hellraiser 6 in exchange of her soul. Movie Review on Hellraiser 6 : Hellseeker
This film another bad sequels like on Hellraiser 5. I find it boring and very confusing. I'm much confused in this sequel than Hellraiser 5 : Inferno. I wish the next Hellraiser would better because I don't want to waste my time watching boring movie.
Hellraiser 5 : Inferno follows the investigation of Detective Joseph Thorne, who's involved in a sequence of murder cases. He is trying to have an ordinary day investigates a brutal murder, visiting his daughter on her room and sleeping with a prostitute. But in one of his cases that he is investigating, he found a little puzzle box and he accidentally opened the box, it started to possess him without knowing.
Continuing his investigation in murder cases, several victims have been found torn to pieces, and a finger is always seen next to each body victims. Though he was trying to find the real killer, we will soon find out that Joseph is not a good person that we know, as he continually cheats on his wife, snorts drugs and double crossed his friends if given an opportunity.
He will eventually discovers that the real killer is himself, which is the other side of him. He finds the reality as he is drawn into series of flashbacks within flashbacks, which really confused the viewers on what is the truth and what is not.
As of now, I already finished watching the series of Hellraiser from part 1 to 5. I can say that Hellraiser 5 : Inferno is the most worse story that I've watched compare to 5 part of Hellraiser that I've watched. I get boring and confused with the story, the story was not tell in a nice sequence. While watching it, you would always think if what is real and what is just an imagination. Well, maybe it's just the style of the director on how to get the attention of the viewers. But to tell the truth, it doesn't caught my attention it makes me think to pass fast forward the video to know the real story.
At first, I was trying to find out, if what is the relationship of Hellraiser 5: Inferno to the previous Hellraiser film and the Cenobites because the plot is different. Mostly in previous Hellraiser film the main focus is on the victims who played the puzzle and suffer tortured made by Pinhead and the Cenobites, but this film is totally different, the demon is inside of Joseph. He was posses by the demons to tortured other people who is connected with him, and it was too late when he find out that he is the real killer.
Hellraiser 4 : Bloodline tells the birth of the “Puzzle”. The story is told into three different period like the sequence of story in “The Fountain” movie.
The story started in the 22nd century, where in Dr. Paul Merchant created the ultimate space station to destroy the Lament configuration. He was having his test on the machine that he have created when he suddenly interrupted by a group of space soldiers. In the space scene he started to tell the Bloodline. He narrates and explain the origin of the Merchant family and the puzzle box.
The curse in the puzzle box started in 18th Century in France Merchant who is a toymaker created the puzzle box. The box was requested by a sadistic French aristocrat command the demon Angelique. Incidentally, Angelique is some sort of Hell Princess that once ruled Hell.
Fast forward to 1996, another Merchant, who is an architect built a building designed like the puzzle box. Pinhead shows up to him and try to kill his son.
Back to 22nd Century Pinhead appears and tried to destroy the death trap for him.
After the confrontation of Pinhead with “Channad” in Hellraiser 2, he is back in the most diabolical Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth. Now his personality is split into two, his good side wanders dreamland and his evil side trapped in the pillar of souls.
Pinhead's is now having a chance to escape in the torture pillar when a New York night club owner purchased it.
Soon thereafter, a TV reporter Joey Summerskill is assigned in major stories when a bloodied teenage boy is rushed into the emergency room. She saw a chain hook in the body of a teenage boy and suddenly she saw the body explosion. The next day she attempt to track down Terri, the girl who bring the bloodied teenage boy, who happens to be the ex-girlfriend of J.P , the one who buys the torture pillar.
Terri presents to Joey a puzzle box that can unleash the demonic spirits known as Cenobites, which she removed from the pillar before leaving J.P.'s apartment. Meanwhile, J.P is looking at the pillar and saw a hole on it and try to put his hands on the hole, not knowing that there is a rat inside the hole. His hands was bite by the rat and some blood shed on the pillar which awakened the Spirit of Pinhead. J.P was convinced by him to sacrifice a young girl so that he can completely escape his cage in the pillar. But at the end he became the victim of Pinhead.
After Joey discovered that the puzzle box has the power to send back demons to hell, he become the heroine and turn back Pinhead and his Cenobites in hell. But before it happen she was trick by Pinhead by disguising as the ghost of her father. But Spencer's spirit reappears and recombines his self to his evil side Pinhead, and Joey manages to send them all to hell. After that incident she submerges the puzzle box into white cement so that no one can use it again.
Hellbound : Hellraiser 2 continues the never ending nightmares of Kirsty, she is on the hospital and still remembers everything happen on her father skinned corpse, the evil machinations of her Uncle Frank's re-animated body and also the Cenobites.
Kirsty meet a new friend “Tiffany” a girl who can't talk, you just see her every time solving puzzle. Their doctor named Charnnard re-opens the channel between dimensions which may lead again to Kirsty horrifying world. They all wind up in hell, Dr. Channard who search for an answer, Kirsty who search for her dad and Tiffany searching for her past. In this sequel Julia and Frank will show up.
Hellraiser is a horror film that tells the tale of pain and pleasure, which the basis is the afterworld of ill feeling coupled with sexual ecstasy.
The story starts with Frank Cotton who purchase a puzzle cube while traveling in the foreign lands, Frank is a man who lived his life in search of the ultimate experience in pleasure, he buys the cubes because he believes that the box will give it to him. But after opening it he is killed and his soul was send into hell.
After Franks disappeared his brother, Larry moves back into the old family house together with his wife Julia, the house where Frank died. Julia has been romantically involved with Frank and considered him as true love without the knowledge of his husband. Larry is injured while moving their furniture, his blood was spilled on the place where Frank died. Because of the blood, Frank was resurrected although his body was not yet whole. To fully regenerate himself he needs more human blood, so he ask Julia for help. Julia seduce men and bring them on her home where in Franks stay. Frank needs to be whole again before the Cenobites find him and take him back to hell.
Larry's daughter Kirsty find out that Julia take men in their house to kill them, so everything is in Kirsty's hands to stop Julia and Frank from killing.
I have seen many new horror movie but this classic movie was the best. Compare to other movies the effects is artistic from the scene that Frank's body was rebuild. I would say that I truly appreciated it, even its classic because the story is unique. It is full of scene that instantly entered the collective nightmares, the puzzle box that opens a path to eternally exquisite torture and the Cenobites themselves with their radically pierced and surgically altered bodies was totally amazing.
