Editorial Review: Description: Experience a real-life nightmare in this all-new and totally unique chapter in the terrifying and insanely popular series created by horror master Clive Barker. Starring Lance Henriksen (ALIENS, SCREAM 3) -- and once again Doug Bradley as the infamous Pinhead! When five hardcore internet gamers are invited to a special party thrown by the website HELLWORLD, they are about to endure a night of unspeakable terror they believed only existed in cyberspace! Fresh, entertaining, and crawling with amazing special effects, don't miss the chilling return of Pinhead in this awesome thriller from Dimension Home Video. Amazon.com: Clive Barker's Gothic ghoul Pinhead is pitted against online gamers out for kicks in Hellraiser: Hellworld, the eighth entry in the popular horror franchise. A group of young computer-game enthusiasts crack the secret of Hellworld, a virtual-reality game based on the Hellraiser mythos, and earn themselves an invite to an exclusive party at a secluded and spooky mansion. There, the host (Lance Henriksen, always a welcome sight) reveals his elaborate collection of Hellraiser-related artifacts, as well as a hidden agenda regarding one of the gamers' friends, who died under sinister circumstances. Naturally, this fresh assortment of attractive young souls with an insatiable curiosity for the forbidden summons up Pinhead (Doug Bradley, natch) and his Cenobite friends to unleash their own brand of hell on Earth. Hellraiser devotees won't find any fresh ideas in the script, but veteran cinematographer Rick Bota (who helmed the two previous films in the franchise) provides attractive visuals, and the gore is plentiful and unpleasant. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bad Hellraiser. Bad-Mediocre horror movie.This movie actually plays out more like feardotcom or a million other "the interwebs is teh bad" movies (popular of late) mashed up with haunted house movies. It's mildly watchable if it's on cable and there's nothing else on, but not particularly recommended. Lance Henrickson turns in his standard character performance. Pretty generic stuff. Also, metafilmic themes were actually explored competently in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, whereas in this it feels like a plot device to shove ...

The young blonde is referring to a strange Hellraiser party that she and her friends were invited to after solving an online version of the Lament Configuration (the Hellraiser puzzle box). Have I said the word "Hellraiser" enough times? Let me say it again: Hellraiser. I'm sorry. I'm repeating myself because I really wanted to watch a Hellraiser film, and just as Chelsea observes, ...

Avoid at all costs and don't murder 90 minutes off of your life. Rating: - This could be the worst HellraiserI think I still have one Hellraiser to see, the one before this. I hope for my sake that by enduring this installment "Hellworld" I have witnessed the low end of the franchise. I'll keep it simple; * Too campy for scary or atmosphere, not campy enough for a Saturday Night Live feel. * Characters are shallow and are billed as hardcore gamers, but come across as being technological Luddites. * Story has holes you could drive a bus through, end result, you just don't ... Read More Rating:  - It's A Hell Of A World When Even Pinhead Stoops To This LevelWhat is it with my favorite Horror franchises just majorly falling apart around their eighth (and usually final) entry? Michael Myers becomes a game show contestant in Resurrection, Freddy Krueger gets "real" in New Nightmare, Jason Voorhees buys a ticket-to-ride to the big apple and turns into a child in the process in Jason Takes Manhattan, and even Pinhead himself becomes a slasher-for-hire in Hellworld. I guess when Horror characters get long in the tooth, the powers that be just try too ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
