Fresh, entertaining, and crawling with amazing special effects, don't miss the chilling return of Pinhead in this awesome thriller from Dimension Home Video.
Amazon.com:
Clive Barker's Gothic ghoul Pinhead is pitted against online gamers out for kicks in Hellraiser: Hellworld, the eighth entry in the popular horror franchise. A group of young computer-game enthusiasts crack the secret of Hellworld, a virtual-reality game based on the Hellraiser mythos, and earn themselves an invite to an exclusive party at a secluded and spooky mansion. There, the host (Lance Henriksen, always a welcome sight) reveals his elaborate collection of Hellraiser-related artifacts, as well as a hidden agenda regarding one of the gamers' friends, who died under sinister circumstances. Naturally, this fresh assortment of attractive young souls with an insatiable curiosity for the forbidden summons up Pinhead (Doug Bradley, natch) and his Cenobite friends to unleash their own brand of hell on Earth. Hellraiser devotees won't find any fresh ideas in the script, but veteran cinematographer Rick Bota (who helmed the two previous films in the franchise) provides attractive visuals, and the gore is plentiful and unpleasant. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - We'll tear your masterpiece apart.....
The should be re-titled "Hellraiser: Dumber". How could you make such a mess of a film? Avoid at all costs and don't murder 90 minutes off of your life.
Rating: - This could be the worst Hellraiser
I think I still have one Hellraiser to see, the one before this. I hope for my sake that by enduring this installment "Hellworld" I have witnessed the low end of the franchise. I'll keep it simple;
* Too campy for scary or atmosphere, not campy enough for a Saturday Night Live feel.
* Characters are shallow and are billed as hardcore gamers, but come across as being technological Luddites.
* Story has holes you could drive a bus through, end result, you just ... Read More
Rating:  - It's A Hell Of A World When Even Pinhead Stoops To This Level
What is it with my favorite Horror franchises just majorly falling apart around their eighth (and usually final) entry? Michael Myers becomes a game show contestant in Resurrection, Freddy Krueger gets "real" in New Nightmare, Jason Voorhees buys a ticket-to-ride to the big apple and turns into a child in the process in Jason Takes Manhattan, and even Pinhead himself becomes a slasher-for-hire in Hellworld.
I guess when Horror characters get long in the tooth, the powers that be just ... Read More
Rating: - The weakest "Hellraiser"
I thought "Bloodline" would go down as the least essential entry in the esteemed "Hellraiser" series. I was wrong; "Hellworld" isn't even up to the less than elegant standard of part 4. The problem here is not at the feet of director Rick Bota, who delivered the masterpiece "Deader" and the excellent "Hellseeker" prior to this one. It's the script, even more, it's the entire concept behind this film. It's another of the self-aware type of horror that was already proven to be useless with "Halloween: ... Read More
Rating:  - This Movie is much better than expected
I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie. I thought it was just a little bit inferior to Hellraiser: Deader but still in the same class. I certainly would not rate it in the dregs of Hellraiser III. The shocks were very convincing, and the cenobites were creative and new. I was very impressed that they were still able to make such a good quality movie after 8 versions.
By the way, for those of you who are looking for inventive, excellent quality Hellraiser box configurations ... Read More
