Likes : Ok i love the first 4 film's of hell-raiser this is the first time ive watched these others, serious after watching hell seeker i thought it would get better, but it only slightly did, don't get me wrong the acting is pretty good & its dose keep the creepy dark feel, but yet again i feel this director hasn't got a clue on how to make a decent hell raiser film although this film dose have it moment that make you jump this is just a disappointment.

Dislikes : To me this feel yet enough film that doesn't feel like hellraiser at all, the horror is mediocre at best the only things that tie this to hellraiser is the ending, the film feels like its miss a sub-plot it confusing because it only explain slightly what's going on, this was better than hell seeker but this was far from great.

Overall : Mediocre, dark, poor story - writing

Rating: 3.1 out of  5 for entertainment / 5.7 out of 10 for story-line
