Alternate Ending

A movie whose heavy atmosphere might have been done better elsewhere, but it <i>has</i> a heavy atmosphere, and that's more than other <i>Hellraiser</i> sequels can claim.

Rated: 2/5

Gone With The Twins

The grisly violence and nightmarishly hallucinatory imagery returns, now accompanied by appalling sound effects that significantly amplify the brutality.

Rated: 2/10

Esquire Magazine

Though it is sometimes plagued by the problems typical of low-budget horror, you can tell at all times that Inferno has a lot of ambition for a B-grade picture of its kind - and that sense makes all the difference.

Eye for Film

Consider watching it again and suddenly the idea of having your flesh torn apart by meathooks for eternity won't sound so bad after all.

Beginning the streak of movies in this series that was not written to be in it (allegedly), this movie shows the franchises rapid drop off. A generic cop mystery thriller, fans of that subgenre may get some enjoyment. Fans of the franchise looking for another entry will be extremely disappointed by the lack of almost anything resembling a Hellraiser movie. Still, the small bit of Pinhead we do it is nice.

A very underrated direct-to-video sequel. Easily the 3rd best entry into the series.

I have to start off by saying, this script clearly was not written to be a Hellraiser film. This is a police investigation thriller with a few cenobites slapped in and a Hellraiserish ending. That being said, it is certainly not the worst movie I've ever watched. The twist is obvious but I didn't mind it. Doug Bradley is great. Watch it if you like Hellraiser and police thrillers, skip if you don't

This one was actually kinda decent. It's not amazing but it's way better than the previous four and my favorite so far.

This movie was executed extremely well for what director Scott Derrickson was going for. The psychological pain the detective was going through you can just feel the pain. The hallucinations were done great and made creepy for an audience review. This movie is very underappreciated it should get credit for being a very good sequel . They did something different and it worked. The hell that was given to the main character is a frightening hell to watch and definitely think of. This is a very good movie.
