Hellraiser Inferno

N: I was quite amazed that Christy from the first few films showed up; all grown up now and married continues to survive as Pinhead hunts her. But things once again become quite obscured and a strange mystery evolves. Chrisies husband lands in hot water; accused of murdering his wife. His memory has become faltered and his dreams seem to come alive right before him. People are dying all around him. I finally find myself enjoying this trilogy and hope that the next few films are worth watching.

hellbound-Hellraiser II

N: The trilogy continues as Pinhead takes the previous characters directly into the labyrinth of hell. A maze of which has no ending. A place controlled by your fear and watched over by the Senebites. Again the box that has been open must be shut in order to escape from this hell and return to the natural world, but as this flick evolves; flesh brings pleasures and pain that can not be turned away.

Hellraiser Bloodline

N: In some sort of an attempt we are taken into outer space where a recluse has just opened the box and unleashed once again Pinhead, but it becomes a bit confusing when we are taken way back to when the box was made by the "Toy Maker" which I thought was was cool because I like the Victorian period. But yet again it was just a lot of dribble and filler.

Hellraiser III-Hell on Eearth

N: We continue on another night tuning into the third installment of the Hellraiser series. But I must admit that though I enjoyed the concept and visual quality of a rich boy kid buying art that has trapped Pinhead and the others; its a blood bath at the nightclub which spills out into the streets. A reporter that has been taking this case after a kid had been torn apart by chains finds her self being lured and as she tries to escape through the city. Yet I find this hell on earth a failed attempt and a poor movie production attempt. It seemed that hell on earth was bound to only a few city blocks. But oh well.

The Damned

Time to enter into a new world of possessions. No, not the usual evil demon possession we all know and love in our horror movies, but the big bad witch who just won't die.
David is in Colombia with his fiance Lauren to convince his daughter, Jill, to attend their wedding. Reluctantly she agrees to but claims that her passport is actually in a nearby town that she had been staying in. With her maternal Aunt and boyfriend accompanying them, the odd family goes to get the passport. Ignoring a warning from a local cop to not go further cause of the roads becoming flooded, the car is swept off the road, leaving them with minor injuries and searching for shelter from the storm. They come across a old inn run by a man who first wants them to leave, but lets them in with much hesitation. The group soon discovers the old mans secret: a little girl locked in a box in the basement. They let the little girl out only to find what they had released an evil that cannot be contained and knows all their deepest, darkest secrets.
As interesting a concept as this movie was, it just didn't keep me as interested as I would of hoped. I mean, when you got a movie with a creepy little girl, doing the creepy little girl things, examples being, popping up out of no where, blankly staring, and a new one...groping, you got a bit of an expectation going. And when you learn about everyone's deepest secrets, you think, 'oh man, there's gonna be some extra drama and everyone is gonna turn on each other and create more suspense'. No, you don't even get that. Instead you got the possessed person exposing to secret to the person who is keeping the secret, and then, spoiler alert, killing them. I fail to see the point in doing that unless it was just to torture the person you are planing to kill and posses...I think I just answered my own question.
This movie wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Its more of a, 'we got time to kill? Lets just watch this', sort of movie. I loved the idea of it, but I just couldn't get into it. I will say this though, when you learn how a curse is passed on and you do something that you are not suppose to do, and pass that curse on, the consequences could be dire. Dire I say!
