Review of Hellraiser: Revelations (2011) by Robert H — 09 Nov 2014

It's a form of arousal.

Two friends off to Mexico in hopes of unlocking their sex life come across some hookers and a puzzle box. The puzzle box unlocks a night of insane pleasure and pain. The happenings of that night are caught on tape and viewed by the police and parents. One set of parents find the box, watch the video, and may unleash similar pleasures and pain.

"You summoned us and we came.".

"Came for what?".

Victor Garcia, director of Return to the House on Haunted Hill, Mirrors 2, Frost Giant, The Damned, and the upcoming Digger, delivers Hellraiser: Revelation. The storyline for this picture was of similar quality as Hellraiser: Hellseeker. The gore was just okay and I cannot say I was a fan of the new Pinhead (Stephan Smith Collins). The acting was below par and the cast includes Tracey Fairaway, Fred Tatasciore, Nick Eversman, Steven Brand, and Sanny van Heteren.

"What do you got there?".

"A puzzle box.".

I was always a huge fan of the first two films in this series and the third was definitely worth watching; however, all of these sequels after that are fairly awful. I still watch them for the solid kill scenes, but that's all they have going for them. I'd skip this picture unless you're a diehard fan of the series and/or horror genre.

"What is on that camera?".

Grade: F.
