Few franchises have nose dived to the extent of the Hellraiser series. What started out as an ingenious memorable horrific set of movies turned into bafflingly bad boring titles with little relevance to what we had learned to love.
Hellraiser Deader is just one of many recent dire attempts at cashing in on Pinhead and though this one does feature Doug Bradley he is on screen for mere moments.
Starring Kari Wuhrer who to her credit is better than usual here we have another confused tale revolving around a cult and the infamous puzzle box. Sadly once again it makes little sense and is immensely boring.
Fans of the series will not be happy with this one.
Hopefully one day Hellraiser will find its way home, for now it's well and truly lost in the desert.
The Good:
One tense scene
Wuhrer is on form
The Bad:
Confusing plot
Practically no cenobites at all
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When entering a property and finding a corpse that you have no intention of reporting it makes perfect sense to leave your fingerprints everywhere
Alike the real world the term "God help me" has never worked in movies
