2/5
Great practical FX give way to a never ending deluge of hallucinatory nightmares that lose all impact as the film progresses. It's hard not to blame Inferno for establishing the bland narrative/character template for the sequels to come Go to Full Review

Manages to reinvent itself just enough to feel pretty fresh for a series that felt like it had run its course. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review

2/10
The grisly violence and nightmarishly hallucinatory imagery returns, now accompanied by appalling sound effects that significantly amplify the brutality. Go to Full Review
Calum Marsh Esquire Magazine 10/17/2018
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. Go to Full Review

Xane B. @xabobinchuck Dec 4 You could definitely tell this was not orignally a hellraiser film. They just attached the universe to this movie to keep the rights. With all being said I did enjoy the movie for what it was. See more John K @UndeadKingUK Nov 25 Not a Hellraiser movie, just a generic film with Pinhead attached on. The story doesn't feel like Hellraiser because it was a script that the Weinsteins re-wrote to basically cash in on the franchise and the main character is such a nasty person. Although I do like the visuals for the film, it does give some creepiness to this movie. See more Ink C Oct 25 I've watched all Hellraiser films multiple times over the years and each one has something to offer for what it is including Inferno it's not great by any stretch but it keeps the Hellraiser lore/story moving along See more Jude H. @Horrorlord Jul 12 This is where the hellraiser movies got very very bad. As this is not as bad as the later ones this movie is one boring mess. Pinhead shows up every like 20 minutes to remind u this is somehow a Hellraiser movie its boring the characters are wooden planks and its not worth ur time See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 8 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 See more Justin T May 27 This feels very different to the first four films, almost like it is not related. The dreams and hallucinations and reality bending moments are a big departure in tone. There is a surprising amount of character and engagement though. The cenobites are more like Freddy Krueger in this. It’s a perfectly adequate film and not much more but it certainly held my attention throughout, one of the better part 5 in any franchise. It doesn't add anything new to the lore but it is very different and I didn’t mind that. At least it felt like a good quality film and they put effort into it. It’s a better Max Payne film than Max Payne (2008). I didn’t like the jittery camera in the climax. See more Read all reviews
