You're Better Served Driving Nails Into Your Head

As a fan of the Hellraiser franchise, I refuse to accept this as a part of the series. As bad as the last few installments were, none sunk this far below the bottom of the barrel. Instead of actually reviewing this terrible piece of crap, here are some random thoughts and musings that crossed my mind while watching it: *It is quite odd how many white people populate these Mexican bars.

*Pinhead now lives inside the walls of this family's house?

*Despite her brother and boyfriend disappearing, the girl is extremely disturbed that her obvious d-bag boyfriend was banging a whore while in Mexico.

*Did Pinhead become a car thief since his last movie?

*I love how the wife was momentarily shocked at the prospect of there being a gun in the house.

*Did the film makers believe two lame Pinhead imitators would distract from how bad this movie is?

*Is it impossible for modern horror movies to have any remotely likable characters? I would cheer the Cenobites, if they weren't pale shadows of the original characters.

*Pinhead didn't kill the wimpy boy down in Mexico because…?

*Just out of curiosity, how common are Asian hookers in Mexico?

*That red headed kid is so brutally not intimidating, even with a shotgun in his hand.

*This movie can somehow warp time and space, as its 75 minute run time feels like two long hours. (Written at the 45 minute mark).

*Oh, a subplot about cheating amongst the parents. That's exactly what I thought the other Hellraiser movies were lacking.

*Considering the roots of this franchise and how grisly it could be, this one is easily outdone by any of the Saw movies.

*Uh, is that supposed to be a cliffhanger ending?

Why this "film" ever saw the light of day is a mystery. I understand it was only made to retain the franchise rights but that doesn't mean it needed to be released to the general public. I give this "movie" 1 star, simply because it makes me appreciate the original even more than I already did.
