Few franchises have nose dived to the extent of the Hellraiser series. What started out as an ingenious memorable horrific set of movies turned into bafflingly bad boring titles with little relevance to what we had learned to love.Hellraiser Deader is just one of many recent dire attempts at cashing in on Pinhead and though this one does feature Doug Bradley he is on screen for mere moments.Starring Kari Wuhrer who to her credit is better than usual here we have another confused tale revolving around a cult and the infamous puzzle box. Sadly once again it makes little sense and is immensely boring.Fans of the series will not be happy with this one.Hopefully one day Hellraiser will find its way home, for now it's well and truly lost in the desert.The Good: One tense scene Wuhrer is on form The Bad: Confusing plotPractically no cenobites at all Things I Learnt From This Movie: When entering a property and finding a corpse that you have no intention of reporting it makes perfect sense to leave your fingerprints everywhereAlike the real world the term "God help me" has never worked in movies

Deader is the final nail that broke the camel's back in a series with fascinating subject matters relating reality warping, pain and sex to psychological thrillers.This traded all that for a cult, drugs and hot twenty year olds making it a stinker.I was expecting to explore more of the mythology after seeker, but instead the cenobites are on the back burner gathering dust and only show up at random times.Taking the film to another country would've been a great way to enhance the atmosphere by using underground tunnels, old architecture and cobbled villages instead of the bland dull route they took.The cult seemed silly, not explored enough or even given a purpose. They die, take a drug and come back to avoid purgatory with our favorite nail man. Why not leave or get away from the city? Instead they build a sci fi ray gun to take him out. If your going to rob from your franchise don't use the sillier elements.You can tell by now the writers aren't even trying anymore and its nothing but a cash machine instead of producing great qualities to enjoy.Barker has many more books he wrote that would work on the big screen that explores the world set up in I and II much better.

Journalist Amy Klein (Kari Wuhrer) likes to live life on the edge, taking assignments that offer her danger and excitement; when she is given the opportunity to track down a bizarre cult in Romania, who are allegedly able to bring the dead back to life, she happily hops on the first plane from London to Bucharest (where, as it so happens, horror films can also be made on the cheap).Not long after her arrival, Amy tracks down the apartment of Marla (Georgina Rylance), one of the cult's members, where she finds the girl's dead body clutching a strange puzzle box. A video tape made by Marla warns Amy not to open the box, but the intrepid reporter doesn't listen and winds up having to face her demons (both metaphorically and literally)...Directed by Rick Bota, who also made Hellseeker (the previous film in the franchise), Deader is, for the most part, a confusing load of twaddle largely thanks to a script that was never originally intended to be part of the Hellraiser franchise, but which was adapted to accommodate the Lament Configuration, Pinhead and his Cenobite pals.To his credit, Bota does what he can with the resultant mess, actually managing to deliver a couple of surprisingly well-staged scenes—Amy trying to reach past Marla's corpse to get to a package, and Amy waking to discover that she has a knife buried in her back—but despite these memorable moments, some reasonable gore and a smattering of gratuitous nudity (including brief toplessness from Wuhrer), the film as a whole still continues the gradual downward slide for the series.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

Hellraiser: Deader (Video 2005)This not were near as good as first movie movies or 5 or 6, I do think it just tiny bit better then 4th movie in the series.Only saw this few hours ago, I swear, I don't remember much that really happened in the movie There were some bloody moment , I would say bit more bloody then last two movie in the series.I just could not get into this movie at all, as the plot was bit to bland , I thought, I did not care anyone in this movie at all.Even the main lead, I found really annoying and I find ending really cheap and I did not like as much as the other sequel.it's was not as boring as fourth movie in the series, Which I give this movie 4 out of 10
