Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

adonis98-743-186503 An investigative reporter must send the newly unbound Pinhead and his legions back to Hell. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth is definitely far better than most of it's really dumb sequels that followed but it's also nowhere near as good as the great 2 first films and despite some pretty good visuals and make up as anyone would expect from this series? The storyline was just not that great and pretty damn disappointing to say the least plus i was kind of disappointed that the girl from the first 2 did no return but then again? Why turn her into Laurie Strode? (5/10)

Stephen Abell Here's part three of the Hellraiser Saga... Once again this continues from where the last film ended, though it's a looser connection. The battle between Pinhead (Bradley) and his original human self, Captain Elliott Spencer, allowed him to break free of hells shackles. Entrapped in a monolith, he is awoken by Sandy (Leigh), when an accidental cut splashes blood on his stone features. Revealing himself to JP Monroe (Bernhardt), an unscrupulous womanising club owner, Pinhead makes a deal to free himself from his confines and to help JP to achieve his dreams...This leads to lots of twists and turns in the storyline as you know you can't trust a daemon. The only thing which stands in his way is an aspiring investigative reporter, Joanne "Joey" Summerskill (Farrell), who's investigating the gory and violent murders which are appearing in the city.The first thing that becomes evident is the amount of budget available for this film. Instead of being kept within the confines of a house or a hospital, now we're out in New York City. Penthouses, apartments, clubs, restaurants, ally's and streets. The locations are so much bigger. This is good, as it gives scope for a larger story with more hellish violence and gore... and it nearly delivers. Nearly, because the scene where the Cenobites finally take to the streets is actually underwhelming. What was required were a few more Cenobites and quite a few more victims, both pedestrians and police. It's nice to have explosions... I just wanted more.The acting is okay, Bradley still stands out and is excellent as Pinhead. Farrell does a good job as the reporter. However, it's Bernhardt and Marshall, who plays Terri, who have their bouts of woodenness. The direction too is quite different from the first two, gone are the artistic and atmospheric lighting for a more natural feel. This is okay, but the film does lose a little of its mood and spirit, which added strength to the first two movies. I can understand the need for doing this. If you expand the daemons universe to include a lot more of reality then it stands to reason to get that feeling across would be to lose the more imaginative aspects of the filmmaking. That said there are still quite a few iconic shots, such as the entrance of Pinhead at the club and later in the church, and nicely thought out camera shots and angles.Though I didn't find it as good as the first films it's still as enjoyable, though for different reasons... and as Pinhead would attain, variety is the spice of life.Another good thing is that this film actually works as a stand-alone, you only need a vague idea about the previous stories; whereas, Hellbound actually made you feel as though you should have watched the first film before viewing. So for that reason, I would recommend this to all horror fans and newbies alike. This is a well written, structured, and acted film... which has its fair share of tension, fear, and suspense.

Realrockerhalloween Hellraiser takes an alternate turn in the series focusing on a reporter caught in an epidemic of people around town being subjected to death by chain's and must solve the mystery with the help of a club girl.It was actually quite decent from effects, music and atmosphere of doom all across the land.A few continuation errors could've been patched up like Pinhead now being the king of hell, the stone statue from part 2 appearing in The store instead of hell and his minions coming back to life without rhyme or reason.The opening scene was a nice throw back to the first showing Pinhead before he turned and how he became the soulless monster he was at present.Yet he seems more humorless like he can't contain a bad joke and loses a lot of the menace that made him scary. Instead of offering justice he punishes anyone near him or in his vicinity betraying the rules set up for him.It tried to be a true Hellraiser film that revels the first two keeping the sex appeal, but the gore is tame and doesn't ring true to the epic blood bath of the first two. Even though Tina's skinning and the club massacre come very close.I like Joey and Tina as a fuel but it feels like an unused script staring Kristy and Tiffany yet they couldn't get them back.Its watchable to any die hard Hellraiser fan, but it doesn't have the ingredients that made the first two a horror master piece.Try it out and see for yourself.

ivo-cobra8 Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) is my second favorite in the trilogy of Hellraisers. I know this film get's a lot of hate, I know it is not a classic, but I seriously love this movie to death, I never thought it was that bad. In my opinion Hellraiser III is very decent third good sequel that it is actually a real horror flick and it is not a fantasy like was the second movie. I still love this movie mainly because of actress Terry Farrell which she did of one her best acting performances as the main heroine reporter Joanne 'Joey' Summerskill. Terry Farrel did a TERRIFIC job as the main heroine in this film that I love to death. The film was filmed in New York which you can see the twin towers from here, we finally see Pinhead the leader of the Cenobites been an evil monster like he is, unlike he was a friend to Kirsty (Ashley Laurence). He wanted to destroyed the world and I loved that, I love that they show what the new Cenobites can do, they were killing people. I love the flashbacks and dreams sequences on a Vietnam war. I love Doug Bradley playing to characters one as Pinhead and the second one as Captain Elliot Spencer that reveals the story to Joey (Terry Farrell) to what happened with him. I also love that Ashley Laurence has a special appearance in here in a video cameo.Plot: An investigative reporter must send the newly unbound Pinhead and his legions back to Hell.They should have ended the series with the trilogy, by this film, I don't care about the next sequels, I don't care about the Bloodline movie. I think Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth is the last decent film in the franchise that I Love, I will definitely never watch Hellraiser: Bloodline or any other Hellraiser movies I will only stick with this film.About the plot a reporter Joey Summerskill becomes a witness in a hospital of unusual death of a young man. So she try's to get a story behind it, so she finds the girl Terri (Paula Marshall) and she try's to help's her out, but the owner and her ex boyfriend J.P. Monroe (Kevin Bernhardt) rules her back in to his dark world, while try to sacrifice her, to the Pinhead statue, but that backfires at him. I love that Pinhead get's resurrected and he get's his army of cenobites back on this world. Joey is the only one that can defeats him and she does. I disagree with all the haters about this film, it is a great horror flick and it does have a happy ending. For the 90's this movie worked for me. Loads of excitement are gore all around. And a good story to boot. Doug Bradley was great playing both roles, and Pinhead was definitely a bad ass in this flick. I love Terry Farrell as the lead heroine in this flick.I think the speed of it is better than the others, and has a slasher feel. Pinhead lost to a cenobite in the second one, so it loses points for that to me. They made Pinhead into more of a monster here. It works. With the split and all it makes sense. The acting from all the cast is decent, the special effects are good and they aren't terribly. The story ark is good and the a action on the end of the movie is fantastic. I love that Joey runs in to a church while Pinhead was chasing her it was fantastic, when Pinhead re encounters a priest. This movie is really different horror film from the first two but it is still a decent! Director Anthony Hickox did a solid job as the director, he shot the camera perfectly. The Boiler Room Club massacre was also a great horror shot scene that I liked and I still love what the movie shows what other Cenobites can do, like they were using CD's for a blades and were cutting people awesome. I also love the night scenes when the final battle was showed.Overall: This movie isn't the best or a classic like the first two were, but it is a solid and decent film to watch worth of a time. It is not boring it fast paced and well acted. I love this movie and mostly I love Terry Farrell in this flick I love her.
