So it's come to Pinhead in space! Actually, the movie follows the creator of the puzzle box and his bloodline through hundreds of years of meeting up with the cenobytes. At first I was put off on the fact that it starts in space before flashing back in time to tell the story, but it's not too bad. It even refernces the 'Lament Configuration' building the last movie ended with. The effects were pretty good, considering it's a low-budget film (was this straight-to-video?); and the acting was really good for a low-budget horror sequel (nice to see the Meryl Streep look-alike chick from "A Nightmare On Elm Street 2" found work again). I wouldn't say this film is scary or even gory, but very watchable in my opinion. Overall, I went into this film with really, really low expectations after seeing Part 3, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the movie and surprised that the absurd storyline actually works.
