Hellraiser Inferno (2000)

As a horror movie fan I have of course seen all the Hellraiser movies.
But I saw Hellraiser Inferno again tonight.






This movie takes you to the life of a criminal detective called Joseph Thorne (Craig Sheffer). He is a smart detective, in the start of the movie he is playing chess with a professor.

But he has his dark sides,  he likes cocaine, alcohol and prostitutes although he has a wife and a daughter.
In the beginning of the movie he and his partner Detective Tony Nenonen goes to a crime scene, wich seems like a brutal satanic ritual murder, and Joseph finds a candle stake with the lemarchands box, wich he takes with him.
Later that night he goes home, and sees his wife sleeping on the coach, and he goes to give his daughter a kiss.

Then he goes out to a hooker street and picks up a whore for the night.
They have sex and do drugs, and drink. Joseph goes to the bathroom, drinks some whiskey and starts looking at the box. When he starts touching it, the box is changing its shapes all by itself.
After this Joseph is having some strange illusions, wich he thinks is dreams.
But this is just the start of Hell for detective Joseph.
When he wakes up, the hooker is killed and hunged up on the wall.

After this everything gets worse and worse for detective Joseph.
He starts investigating this murder and find himself in allot of problems.
He keeps hearing about a "person" called the engineer. He goes to different shady people like pimps and tattoo and piercing artists too find this engineer. What he keeps hearing is "Hunt the engineer... and the Engineer will hung you"
After this detective Joseph goes deeper and deeper into a Hell he can not get out of.

This movie is more of a neo-noir movie than any of the previous Hellraiser movie I would say.

It is worth a watch if you are a Hellraiser fan, but it is of course not near the best of the Hellraiser movies.
But it is a surreal and brutal movie, with everything from mystery, ninja cowboys, whores and cocaine to pinhead himself.


I give this movie 4 out of 10.
