HELLRAISER: DEADER (2005)

Another HELLRAISER movie, another story about a poor schmuck seeing weird visions and tries to figure out what's going on.  This time around it's investigative reporter Kari Wuhrer who's in Romania to investigate a nerd cult of dorks who call themselves "Deaders". According to a videotape (what the hell?! I thought this movie was released in 2005!), the Deaders can commit suicide and then through some special power of their leader...come back to life. Somehow, Pinhead is involved in all of this. I could explain it, but it really not important.  Mild violence we've already seen before, medium to slow pace, Kari Wuhrer in unflattering clothes, totally forgettable cult leader (who kinda looks like FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks), mild blood, zero gore and Pinhead is only onscreen for like 5 minutes total.

Not a horrible watch, but boring and unoriginal.
