Hellraiser: Deader

Hellraiser: Deader 1 star

Ugh. A film reviewed by its own title? It’s at this point I find myself very glad I didn’t save these for Halloween as originally planned. Apparently this screenplay wasn’t even originally conceived as a Hellraiser movie – and its even more removed from Clive Barker’s world than Inferno, if that’s possible. Apparently the director has stated in a commentary on Hellseeker that there he minimised the Kirsty stuff and other “elements from the earlier films” to avoid alienating non-fans (yes, I should’ve mentioned that there, I only just found an IMDb comment mentioning it). Like, WTF? Why are you even watching a sequel this far down the line if you haven’t checked out at least the acknowledged classic original? Like … I feel like I’m wasting my time watching it even under those circumstances … but with no background? You’re literally just slicing time off your life! LOL. Just avoid.
