Review: Hellraiser Hellseeker (2002)

This time I’m doing yet another direct to video Hellraiser
movie that not only features Pinhead, but Kirsty Cotton…Oh boy...
Bizarre hallucinations and disturbing erotic nightmares
haunt amnesiac Trevor Gooden after a car accident under mysterious
circumstances leaves him hospitalised and his wife, Kirsty, missing. Now, the
visions grow in number and intensity, but so do the unanswered questions. To
piece the puzzle together, Detectives Lange and Givens are on the case, but
they sense that something is off. After all, Gooden has been giving off mixed
signals since day one. But lust, greed, and deception have already opened the
gate for the Cenobites to take believers on another journey to the barren
landscapes of pain. As Pinhead answers the box's call, years after Hellraiser
(1987), pure evil casts the bait, and a sinister machination begins to unfold.
However, what happens to those who seek hell, and darkness responds?
This film is yet another example of Dimension reusing the
concept of an already made and popular film and threwing a Hellraiser covering
on it. This time they used the concept from the film Jacob’s Ladder. This film
was so much a copy of Jacob’s I easily predicted the ending of the film. The
only good part of the film was when Kirsty confronts Pinhead and makes yet
another deal with him. Quite literally that is the only good part of the film
because it is a complete and utter rip off of Jacob’s Ladder.right down to this
film even having a chiropractor scene, except the chiropractor turns out to be Pinhead.
Of all the direct to video Hellraiser this one most annoyed me because I was
excited when Kirstywas going to be in this one. I was horribly disappointed and
felt like I was made a fool. This film just plain angers me. They had an
opportunity to finish Kirsty’s storyline and Dimension did this insult to the
fans. Be smart, either avoid like the plague or put the DVD in the microwave
and destroy it. You will save yourself pain worse than Hell…
