Critics Reviews

Joe Lipsett Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Deader is narratively muddled due to franchise elements being forced into the script, as well as the Weinsteins' penny pinching. Still, Kari Wuhrer delivers a committed performance (her bathroom freak-out alone is worth the price of admission) Rated: 2/5 Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Has no aspirations higher than to just throw out garish, weird stuff to add some meager flavoring to its watery broth of a plot. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The film is sharper, scarier, gorier, and certainly more serious than the last few entries in the series. Rated: 4/10 Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures The new Hellraiser films aren't perfect, but at least they're not totally decimating a beloved franchise as the new Crow films are. Rated: 3/5 Sep 22, 2005 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central You know you're in trouble when the word you use to augment your franchise moniker is a semi-creepy, made-up word (why not "Hellraiser: Spookeegery"). Rated: 1/4 Aug 19, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...unpleasant, interminable... Rated: 1/4 Aug 2, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Jude H. This might be one of the worst horror films of all time. Pinhead ONLY APPEARS one time at the end and the whole movie is a boring detective plot thing that is NOT interesting in any way. Its so boring that this is the only movie i didn’t pause when i needed to pee. It’s so long and i cant deal with. The only good thing is when pinhead shows up at the end but thats about it do not watch Hellraiser Deader Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Justin T It’s not badly made or too badly paced but doesn’t feel like a Hellraiser film until the very end. There are some very odd editing choices. There are also very inconsistent character actions like why did she react so strongly to the guy jumping in front of the train but barely reacted to the girl in the bathroom? The visions are back again, why can’t they tell a story without lots of visions of stuff that isn’t happening? The main cast and characters are engaging enough, even the smaller roles are fine so can’t really fault the acting. The story can’t fill the runtime though, it could have been half the length but it’s quite nicely made surprisingly. It’s not as bad as it should be but also it’s pretty boring. A few good sequences and the characters make it barely passable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Eric G Another sequel where the cenobites just stand around looking creepy, nothing really scary happens and the plot gets much less interesting as soon as you realize Amy is in Hell--which for any fan of the films is as soon as she opens the box. Similar to Hellraiser VI, most of what happens is never explained or just doesn't make sense at all. The acting is fine, but good/decent acting doesn't make up for a poor story. Perhaps it would have been better if the "Deaders" (such a corny name!) did something more than die, but no, they just die, then die again, just like my interest in this film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Adam B The best movie in the "not written as a Hellraiser" portion of the franchise, Deader is still not very great. Still a snooze fest a many portions, the acting is still not great and the settings still feel cheap. That being said, there is a bit more connection to the franchise, the main character is more interesting, and the story is much more intresting then "generic mystery with the same twist". Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Gabriel R Womp womp, this one fell flat on its face for me. Once again, clearly a script that isn't Hellraiser related and the Hellraiser things are unbelievably forced. Some of the scenes and characters are good and woohoo Doug Bradley is still Pinhead but otherwise a miss Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
