DVD Reviews of Hellraiser - Inferno
DVD Review: okay condition
Summary: 3 Stars
dvd arrived in a timely manner. It was dirty inside and the disk had not been cleaned. I was worried at first due to the scratches I saw on it. I cleaned it up and it worked fine. Good buy for the price.DVD Review: Hercule Pinhead
Summary: 3 Stars
If you pay close attention, you'll notice that the opening credits of HELLRAISER: INFERNO are missing the words "Clive Barker." In its place are a couple guys whose last names are Weinstein. That's a clue right there: this movie isn't interested in building on the Hellraiser mythos.
It IS interested in clues, though. Craig Sheffer (of One Tree Hill) narrates the film as Detective Joseph Thorne. Joe is a good cop ("I'm good with puzzles" he growls) but not a good man. He wishes he was good, but can't be bothered to do much more than wish. Not until people he knows start dying.
Along for the ride is Joe's hapless partner, Detective Nenonen (played by John Turturro's youngest brother, Nick). Together the two stumble onto a case involving sadistic deaths, a strange puzzle box, and a criminal mastermind known only as The Engineer. At the scene of each crime is found the severed finger of a mysterious child who -- by all accounts -- is still alive.
It's actually a pretty cool idea, when all is said and done, but the delivery here is tiresome. Sometimes films confuse the word "mysterious" with "confusing," and here its no different. Joe is tormented by mysterious dreams and hallucinations, grotesque visions that blur the line between reality and nightmare. Loathesome though he may be, Joe is the audience's viewpiece, and viewers are bound to realize they're being manipulated long before Joe discovers the same thing about himself.
It's got real grab in parts, and the creepy Hellraiser watermark rears its head many times and with chilling charm (although purists interested in gruesome deaths and gory torture will be disappointed). Still, the whole thing plays out very much like Pinhead playing How To Host a Murder Mystery, up to him wrapping things up neatly with an out-of-character moral summary. It's fun, no denying, but also hard to take seriously. Like any murder mystery hosted by any friend (even one from hell), this party goes best with a glass of wine or beer, a few friends, and a willingness to pretend like you don't know whodunit.

Hellraiser - Inferno
If you are looking for a continuation from the fantastic Clive Barker films, then think again. I watched to the end only to see if something exciting would happen, only to be disappointed. The acting was wooden at best. The star of the show - Pinhead - was great as always, but only in it for a total of a couple of minutes. The format was completely different than the original Hellraiser films, with little to do with the box. Would not recommend!
DVD Review: different verison
Summary: 2 Stars
I would not advise anyone buying this film for more then five dollars. I do not think wrothy of first film at all, but it is my view. DVD Review: A Different Kind Of Hellraiser Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Hellraiser: Inferno is really more of a Pinhead film than a Hellraiser film in touch with the Clive Barker classics. The apprerance of Pinhead in the last five mintues was great. But thinking back to the first film and viewing this once again these films were inteneded to be about someone who sins and the price the have to pay. While the first two Hellraiser films were kinda about that, Part 3 & 4 were Pinhead's back this film stand own it one. While the film could have used some T& A it still makes one think
Description of Hellraiser - Inferno
A spine-tingling thriller, HELLRAISER: INFERNO is the next inescapably terrifying chapter in the heart-stopping HELLRAISER series! It's the powerful story of a shady L.A. detective (Craig Sheffer -- THE PROGRAM, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT) who finds himself lost in a darkly nightmarish world of evil when he solves the mysterious puzzle box that releases the diabolical demon, Pinhead! As those around him begin to meet tragic fates, he sets out to conquer the horrifying Pinhead and escape eternal hell! Also starring popular Nicholas Turturro (TV's NYPD BLUE, EXCESS BAGGAGE), HELLRAISER: INFERNO combines great special effects and relentless thrills to deliver exciting, edge-of-your-seat entertainment!This is the first Hellraiser sequel that doesn't bear the imprimatur of creator Clive Barker, and that makes it a sequel that many Hellraiser fans will want to disown, but they shouldn't dismiss it altogether. Now under the control of Miramax producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the franchise takes an entirely new direction, and Inferno is primarily a detective thriller in which a corrupt cop (Craig Sheffer) takes on a case that will judge his soul and, ultimately, damn him forever. His judge and jury will be Pinhead (Doug Bradley) and his legion of twisted Cenobites, but before he can be tried and condemned, Sheffer's cop will watch as those around him are killed off one by one, leaving a trail of blood (and telltale severed fingers) that leads back to the torment of his own youth.
So, what you really have here is a variation on It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, with all the themes reversed to hellish extremes. The plot doesn't hold together all that well, but you can't fault the film for establishing and maintaining a heavily somber tone. This is pretty dark stuff, after all, and although Hellraiser fans will lament that Pinhead's appearance is relatively brief, he's presented here in an intriguing new light--not merely an icon of pain and suffering, but a giver of counsel and justice to those (like Sheffer's cop) who arguably deserve the eternal anguish they will receive. Does that make Pinhead a good guy? If this otherwise lugubrious sequel achieves anything, it's that it raises that question and lets the viewer decide. --Jeff Shannon
