Reader Reviews
Fans of the Hellraiser series had a glimmer of hope with the fifth and sixth installments in the series, INFERNO and HELLSEEKER, as both hearkened back to the series' origins and captured at least some of the quiet dread and terror of the original HELLRAISER. Part Seven, DEADER, was a turn for the worse with the rapidly-tiring formula dragged down by an incomprehensible storyline adapted from another screenplay. This brings us to HELLWORLD, finally an original story yet by far the worst of the bunch since BLOODLINES. Not at all unlike another "Part 8," HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION, HELLWORLD follows an immemorable group of teenagers around a party based upon an online version of a Hellraiser video game. HELLWORLD starts off with a bit of promise, acknowledging the series within the film and tossing off bits of inside trivia at every opportunity. Fans who adore the Lemarchand mythology will take some pleasure in Lance Henriksen's tour around the site of the party, the Leviathan House (if you think that's bad, try not to groan when you discover it sits on "Hellbound Lane"), during which he and the protagonists spout off the entire Hellraiser backstory for those arriving late to this series. What follows is a lame descent into nightmares and murders and cenobites, the latter of whose latex is looking at little dull at this point. This entry into the series doesn't play by the Hellraiser rules (who needs a box to summon Pinhead anyway?), something even the characters point out more than once, reducing the film to just another teenage slasher flick. The cast is forgettable, the direction uninspired (a real letdown after Bota's previous installments), Pinhead an outright cliche (his scenes could have easily been recycled footage from any of the previous films) and Lance Henriksen phones in a performance he could have (and very well may have) done in his sleep - yet the biggest disappointment in this series lies in its climax, which reminds this viewer of the rotten revelation at the end of Friday the 13th Part V. Even a last-minute Henriksen-Pinhead encounter doesn't make up for this train wreck of a film which all but destroys a franchise that was on the brink of reinvigoration. I used to believe that "in Space" episodes of horror films (e.g., BLOODLINES, JASON X, LEPRECHAUN 4) signaled the nadir of the series. The eighth installment of Hellraiser, like Halloween, provides a convincing argument that "in Cyberspace" may be a more appropriate indicator of doom.
