HELLRAISER: HELLWORLD (2005)

Pinhead goes the teenage slasher route...kinda. A group of nerds go to a large house for a "secret" party hosted by the online Hellworld video game. The usual teen slasher party shenanigans happens, but this time you got Pinhead creepin' around and at one point even killing somebody with a knife and at another time doing a SAW-like mechanical chair trap routine.

For a one time watch I (mildly) enjoyed the movie. Less screen time for Pinhead than I would like, attractive Final Girl, Lance Henriksen phoning it in, entertaining 90's looking fashions even though this film was released in 2005, light nudity, old cell phones, very little blood, zero gore, what looks to be a Dissection shirt on one partygoer, a runtime that could have been trimmed by 10 minutes.

Not bad, but not good either. For HELLRAISER series completists only.

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.
