This is an alright detective film, I guess, but as a "Hellraiser" installment, it doesn't fit. I like that Pinhead is more in the background here as he was in the earlier films, but he in this so little, you really forget that it's supposed to be a "Hellraiser" film. If you replaced the him and the box with anything or anyone else, it might be a better movie. To be fair, it's not actually a bad film, just a tad on the boring side--I found my mind wandering away about what the next installment is like and how it fits into the series. The acting's not bad, the plot starts out good but flat-lines about halfway through, but I might give it another glance on a boring, rainy day. Can I recommend this film? No, but I wouldn't tell people not to watch it either. If you're a fan of the earlier installments, you'll probably want to see this too, but it's pretty forgettable.
