Hellraiser III is the rare film which very nearly raises idiotic self-sabotage to heights of delightful enjoyment. Throwing out all meaningful continuity and mythos gained in the first two Hellraiser movies, Hellraiser III brings the pain to earth, here North Carolina standing in for New York City (?), wherein Pinhead is trapped inside a super terrible play-doh version of the end of Poltergeist II, itself trapped within a consignment thrift of bad 90's art, bought by a dude who has got to be the most unpleasant artist-cum-club-owner of the 1990's, which is saying something I am sure. This guy is so evil, he plays the Soup Dragons at his edgy S&M-themed disco. In the 1990's, if you had some plastic…
Great work turning Pinhead into a Dickhead.
Hellraiser 3 follows Joey an investigative reporter who must send the newly unbound Pinhead and his legions back to Hell.
If this was just another horror flick that is not a part of a franchise it would have worked really well because it has everything you can ask for as a horror fan a decent script, fine actors, and good creature effects. But it's not, as it destroys everything that the previous two movies lived up to, especially with respect to the logic and reasons behind the acts that were performed by the cenobites, it's just an overblown mess.
This movie should have been a psychological horror, as the pillar that J.P. bought…
Nowadays if they made this the CD cenobite would be the spotify logo. You can't make this stuff up!
We’ve got to bring back horror films having heavy metal songs play during the credits
Superbowl Sunday... some people get tanked and watch football, I get tanked and watch Hellraiser films.
After watching the documentary for Hell on Earth yesterday (and watching the reconstructed director’s cut of Bloodline), I figured I’d give it a revisit instead of watch a sport I have no interest in. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth: In which Pinhead graces the presence of mere mortals and fucks up a club in grand style (one of my favorite massacre segments ever) and makes a CD Cenobite out of a DJ. Out of a DJ. CD’s. CDenobite.
In Hellraiser II we learn of Pinheads beginnings before he was sucked into the hellish dimension of goop and chains and turned into the pain-craving creature known as Pinhead. After Pinhead…
What is this movie even? What are its rules? Why does Pinhead live in some Lower East Side junk store pillar instead of the puzzle box? Why does he need to play with it? Why is there a CD DJ Cenobite? Why are there so many white people dancing in a studio suit's wet'n'wild dream of a down'n'dirty Noo Yawk Citay sort-of-rave decorated with baby doll heads and Christmas lights and dusty S&M dummies? I do love the early '90s faux club kid aesthetic of crop tops and mesh and undershirts tucked into dad jeans like if a GAP model went too hard at a Prodigy show and woke up the next morning wearing a leather dog collar. And some of the Cenobites looked goofy but inventive, like the aforementioned CD slinger or gasoline martini shaker or a camera-head guy (???) who says "that's a wrap!' At least this uninspired sequel-by-committee nonsense is sort of fun?
This Hellraiser sequel will always be very special to me because it was filmed in my hometown of Greensboro, NC. All those downtown NYC shots are actually downtown Greensboro and proof that movie magic is a totally real thing. I kinda remember when it was being filmed. I didn’t actually get to see it happen because it was filmed late at night and I was still a bit too young to be out that late I guess, but I remember reading all about it in the newspaper. I’ve been to the Pyramid Gallery or at least the outside of it since it was an empty building that was dressed up. Today it still looks like it did then and on…
this is a dumb movie with a bunch of cool shit in it. 1992 haircuts, exploding heads, pinhead, more pinhead, a charming lesbian subtext subplot that gets dropped for no reason, brent bolthouse getting murdered by CDs. it is what it is.
I love the new cenobites. One of them is a CD-throwing DJ, another has a video camera attached to its face, and the barman makes a killer drink! Hell yeah. Always loved that Motörhead theme too.
Much more ordinary than the first two movies, and Pinhead has basically become Freddy Krueger by now. That said, once the flesh starts getting ripped off I'm having a good time.
