Review of Hellraiser: Inferno (2000) by Alex T — 11 Oct 2012
Though a dynamic break from the usual format of the Hellraiser series, and being so dramatically different that it could be viewed as unrelated: the film may of potentially upset some Hellraiser puritans.
That being said, the break is refreshing from the earlier concepts of the series, which were beginning to become tired. Playing on the perversions of the mind, the eternal nightmare, paranoia, isolation and waking sleep, the film has some memorable moments and some gory elements that make it an above average entry to the series.
Imagine a gritty cop thriller taken, turned on its head and distorted into a maddening world where nothing is safe. The ending is good, if a little predictable, but this does not spoil its over all enjoyment, nor its quite memorable nature.
One of my favourites of the series, despite its differences, Inferno is worth a watch for those that may of fallen out with the series earlier along.
