Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

A shady businessman attempts to piece together the details of the car crash that killed his wife, rendered him an amnesiac, and left him in possession of a sinister puzzle box that summons monsters. Hellraiser: Hellseeker once again has nothing new to offer except more sadism but also more blood and cruelty plus i did not care for the storyline or any of the characters in general. The ending of course had a twist like any actual human being would expect but also a twist that did not work at all once again because why would it now? right? Garbage fire Seeker!!

OK, I got this movie in a set of 6 movies for $5, Hellraiser III to VIII.So far III is basically a joke action Friday the 13th/Freddy crap with a bunch of Pinhead endless babble dialogue. 3 stars IV is interesting, period piece, origins and end, with boring dialogue and action. Again Pinhead endless babble dialogue. 3 stars V – a different take on hell. Psychological suffering. Could have been great. But it drags on and on for 99 minutes. Best part is the fx. Please someone edit this down to 70 minutes and it could be great. 4 stars.The best Hellraiser for me is #II. I haven't seen the first in years and don't remember it much, but I believe it was good.Now we have VI. This is the worst. It's not the worst film in the world. That's another list all together. It's not one of those it's so bad you're laughing at the filmmakers and the nonsense they have the actors perform. Those deserve a special place in entertainment. VI is garbage. Nothing to offer at all. What we have here is taking V with the psychological horror and making it worse. Dream within a dream. Pretty much like Carnival of Souls, a car crashes into the water and the person is dead, but we get to witness boring scenes of his ghost being tortured. Not fun.The story sucks, dialogue is boring, cinematography is plain, music is just there. Pinhead has his basic dialogue, doesn't add anything. They brought back Ashley Laurence from the first two films, it's a cameo and she adds nothing to this film. I would not recommend this to anyone. Not even people who love Hellraiser, or any of the other sequels, or completest. Just don't watch it, skip it. If you're going to watch then shut it off after the brain surgery in the beginning. That was halfway decent. It goes completely down hill and worse. While watching it, it made me appreciate V for what it tried to accomplish.F, 1 star. Full on garbage.

This one has a little link towards the original Hellraiser (1987). Kirsty (Ashley Laurence ) is back. She's now a grown up woman and is married with Trevor (Dean Winters). While driving their car and arguing they have a terrible accident and crashes into the water. Trevor survives and his wife is dead. But Kirsty is never found so Trevor is the main suspect.Trevor having a head injury suffers a lot of pain and hallucinates. That's the main story in Hellseeker. It's only towards the end that pinhead comes in and the story gets a twist. Before that you have, just like Inferno (2000), a rather strong story but it's so low on pinhead and there are almost no cenobites that I can't say that is a good Hellraiser flick. Although it's linked with uncle Frank and Kirsty it's so low on the demons that I can't give it a good rating. If you never have seen the original don't worry you will understand this flick. And like Inferno, the chains are only there at the end. So a bit of copycat of Inferno. Sadly a mediocre flick.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

A shady businessman attempts to piece together the details of the car crash that killed his wife (Ashley Laurence) and rendered him an amnesiac -- and left him in possession of a sinister puzzle box that summons monsters.So, here we go... a Hellraiser film with little or no connection to the other films. Sure, you say it is connected because of Kirsty Cotton and the puzzle box. But no, you are just falling for their trick.What we actually have here is two films trying to act as one. We have Kirsty and the puzzle box (again), and her making a deal with Pinhead. I think this went partially out of character for her, but basically stayed within the realm of the Hellraiser mythology.But then we also have a story of a man who cannot remember if he killed his wife or if she died in a car accident or what actually happened. And had his wife been anyone other than Kirsty, it still would have made a good story -- and, in fact, probably would have been a better one.Because when you mix them, here comes the problem: the twist of bringing up Hellraiser basically reveals the plot surrounding the husband to not really matter, therefore making the first two-thirds of the movie completely pointless in retrospect. Instead of two decent movies, they decided to breed and make one really terrible, ugly film. And that was just stupid...
