One of the Top Horror Sequels

This movie redeems the Hellraiser franchise after the disappointing 2nd and 3rd entries. Almost immediately there is profound gore and grotesque demonic imagery assaulting the viewer. People are dismembered, skinned, and tortured, even purposely melded into demons, as the Hellraiser series loves to do. A sick noble from the 1700's thinks he can manipulate a demon from Hell to do his every whim, but it ends badly for him. The demons continue to wreak mayhem throughout our timeline and into the future, where someone finally devises a secret plan to defeat them. This movie is drenched in blood and plays out much like an excellent episode of Tales from the Crypt. This is actually almost better than the first Hellraiser. Ignore the negative reviews here, if you go to see a movie called "Hellraiser" you should expect something twisted like this. This movie does not disappoint at all.
