Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Feel[s] like a bit more effort was spent than needed to be, by the degraded standards in which projects like this live. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 17, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Instead of creating new, inventively ghastly creatures, the series keeps drifting further and further away from the gruesome yet fantastical slasher subgenre it helped invent. Rated: 3/10 Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A lesser version of the Hellraiser series. Rated: C+ Oct 31, 2017 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 10, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Calling this a Pinhead flick is like calling The Muppet Movie a Steve Martin vehicle. The end credits of Hellseeker have more screen time than does the prickly villain. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 3, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Adam B For the few fans of Hellraiser: Inferno, you'll get some enjoyment out of this. For those that didn't, well, this is the same movie essentially minus the cop aspect. While definitely a better movie with its (insultingly low) use of the Kirsty Cotton returning, minus her and the small Pinhead bits it's still very much boring and doesn't appeal to Hellraiser fans at all. And the great acting is truely gone, which was a mainstay in the first 2, if not 4 arguably. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Daniel C So Rick Bota tried to use the exact same formula as the last movie and he failed. They bring Ashley Laurence back as Kirsty only to waste the movie on her husband's POV and we get to watch have affairs with several women. Put a story together where the audience can careless about any of it. Thanks for the five minutes of Ashley Laurence. Whatever they were trying to do with this movie just didn't work and it lost me really quick. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Small L Too much pleasure not enough pain (It wasn't a pleasure watching all those sexy scenes) No, but to be fair, the later half of the movie was better. The end twist was good and made the whole plot better, even if I don't like what it makes of Kirsty's character (that's a personal opinion). But I really think they could have done something similar with a good twist (that doesn't include Kirsty) and less sex and it would have been way better. In retrospective better than when they try to make it more slasher and less mystical, but still meh. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Audience Member La verdad no esta chida pero ai q ser buena gente 🐱✌️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Gabriel R Oh great, one of those movies that's confusing as all hell to watch on purpose because amnesiac narrator. It's also weirdly erotic for the entire second act. Why did I rate it higher than Inferno you may ask? Because I actually got surprised by the twist, the film's ending comes together really nicely, and Kirsty is back in this one. Just be prepared for way too many sex scenes and one scene of nuclear cringe that forced me to skip ahead a few seconds Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Anton F I loved this. Hellraiser was never a slasher movie, it's about other-dimensional beings responsible for providing limit experiences to their... guests. This movie is the essence of the franchise: psychological horror. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
