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!!

If one can overlook two MASSIVE implausiblities, this is the best of the Hellraiser sequels. We are reintroduced to Ashley Laurence as Kirsty, before seemingly killing her in a car crash during the first scene. The focus is then shifted to her husband, and his fragile mental state following the accident, exacerbated by the odd behaviour of some of those around him, and the fact that he becomes the suspect in her death, and the deaths of several others. After tricking us into thinking Ashley Laurence's appearance is confined to a cameo appearance in the first scene, she is reintroduced again in the final third, when we learn it was really her husband who died in the car crash, and the entire film is taking place in his mind, as he lie dying. Pinhead plotted to get Kirsty after all these years, she made a deal with him to kill her husband and the women he was cheating on her with, in exchange for her own life. Kirsty herself killed her husband in the crash, after killing his mistresses, and the entire film is taking place in his mind in the final moments of his life, just like in Jacob's Ladder, again.Indeed, the biggest problem with this one is that it's almost identical to the previous film ( Hellraiser Inferno ) which itself was very similar to Jacob's Ladder. If this film had been made before the previous one, it would have fared better, and been more surprising. But as it is now, it really seems like they used almost the same script. Turning the heroine from parts one and two into the villain here is a daring move, not an easy feat to achieve successfully, but I feel they pulled it off well here. There should have been a final scene with Pinhead, perhaps proud of himself for tricking Kirsty into killing several people, thus ensuring her a place in his hell upon her ultimate death, and thus making it only a matter of time before she is his. Terrible colour tinting gives most scenes a deep blue tinge.

Following his wife's accidental death in a car accident, a man tries to uncover the truth about what happened only to find the cause of a series of violent hallucination a part of a much large plan of action.This here is a highly enjoyable and far underrated effort. One of the better elements with this is the incredibly deep mystery traveling throughout this, which is far greater than expected. Not only is the change of what actually happened quite shocking, how it goes about getting there is insanely inspired by building such a strong case for the husband to be responsible and how it changes that around into a secondary plot-point is a major strength here. This also ties into the film's biggies plus throughout her which is the unbelievably chilling and well-done amount of psychological tormenting going throughout this one. Unlike the previous effort which also tried to utilize the psychological aspect, this one outdoes that by making the whole thing come from the idea of twisting around the perception of reality by starting off one way only to twist them into a series of nightmarish visions or some kind of action that really shouldn't be doing that. That's an incredibly chilling tactic which doesn't get utilized all that much so being done in conjunction with the rather creepy and highly disturbing storyline trick which makes for a thoroughly enjoyable ale here and one which is highly rewarding and watchable throughout. Beyond the creepiness here, the film also manages to make due with some rather nice blood and gore for each of the kills in this, and there's plenty here with the deformed corpses and mutilation from the tortures making for a lot of fun. These are enough to make for a rather entertaining effort, though there's a few flaws within this one that holds it down. The biggest issue is the rather short screen-time the Cenobites actually have, which is barely a few short shots while Pinhead at least has a couple different scenes to work out. The other here don't even have that luxury which tends to make the impression that they're so irrelevant to the story they were written into another film altogether as this one doesn't really feel all that connected to the rest of the series. As well, the other big flaw here is the fact that the twist here involving the secondary twist makes no sense as for why it would be accepted knowing the past history of everything, and why they would is quite puzzling. Otherwise, it's all that's really wrong with this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, and several clothed sex scenes.

Hellraiser: Hellseeker sees the welcome return of the very lovely Ashley Laurence as Kirsty, but unfortunately she's not really in it for very long, quickly disappearing into the murky depths after her husband Trevor (Dean Winters) crashes their car in a river. The remainder of the film centres around Trevor as he struggles to remember the events leading up to the accident, tries to convince the police that he didn't kill his wife on purpose, suffers from a series of terrifying episodes that make it hard for him (and us) to tell what is real and what is imagined, and occasionally bumps into old Pinhead (Doug Bradley).One of the most predictable and overused twists in horror is the 'they were dead the whole time' revelation as seen in films like Carnival of Souls, Jacob's Ladder, Reeker, The Sixth Sense, Dead End, and The Others. Hellraiser: Hellseeker also goes with this trite revelation, despite the previous chapter in the franchise, Hellraiser: Inferno, utilising a similar plot device (slightly adapted so that the main character was revealed to be forever trapped in his own personal hell). If you've already seen Inferno, you'll get a strange sense of deja vu with Hellseeker. While it's not a completely unwatchable movie, it does prove a rather disappointing one simply because it offers virtually nothing new to fans of the series.
