The cenobites are evil in the firat movie. They don't honor their agreement to leave the protagonist alone if she sends her uncle back. There is a slight bit of ambiguity initially, but by the end it's pretty obvious they just want to capture souls to torture.

Pinhead feels like an afterthought in these movies because in many cases, he is. The studio had to keep putting out Hellraiser movies to retain the license, so every few years they'd dust off a script, paperclip Pinhead to it, and make a movie. I think this is the first movie of that type in this series, but definitely not the last. The fact that these movies were made from scripts that couldn't get published under their own power and are motivated entirely by "put out literally anything with the Hellraiser name" probably explains their quality, as well.

Actually, that's not the case with this particular movie. Co-writer and director Scott Derrickson (yes, the director of Sinister and Doctor Strange) said that it was indeed pitched as a Hellraiser movie from the start. This was definitely where it became painfully obvious that Clive Barker was no longer involved with the franchise though

What's funny to me about that whole engineer thing is that when I worked in a warehouse, Engineer was code for someone who stands around and tries to look important, but really isn't doing anything.

Isn't it a tragedy that we never got an episode of Murder She Wrote Hellraiser edition where Jessica Fletcher solves the puzzle box and unlocks the dimension to hell where the cenobites are just smitten by her?

If the Cenobites know Jessica, then they are likely to be murdered. She can investigate who did it.

"Cenobite" is actually a term for communal monks -- it comes from the Greek for "Life Together" (koinobios). There are different types of monks in the Christian tradition, the oldest being hermits ("eremitic monasticism") but the isolation was too much for some people so they came up with a moderated form ("semi-eremitic monasticism") in which they'd meet once or twice a week for worship services but otherwise live completely isolated lives. Even that diluted form proved too much for others who came up with communal ("cenobitic") monasticism, in which they'd live together in a monastic community but avoid the rest of "the World." While Cenobites became the norm in the Western tradition, they were seen as the pathetic weaklings of monasticism among the Orthodox -- especially the Copts of Egypt. Imagine my shock learning all this in grad school after spending most of my life thinking "cenobite" meant some kind of demonic entity... XD

I did like the fact that by the end of this movie, even if they don't say it, it's revealed that the detective was the one engineering his own demise.

If I remember correctly, in the original book, the Engineer was in charge of creating new Cenobites. He ends up being a relatively important character, but they mostly cut him out of the original movie. I assume that is why they are going on and on about the engineer. Also, when did cenobites just become people in a gimp hood?

"The Engineer" makes me think of the hilariously goofy scenario of being hunted down by the Team Fortress 2 character.

The Lament Configuration is the name of what the puzzle box becomes when it is "solved". The name for the boxes is Lemarchand's Box.

My biggest problem with this one is the fact that Pinhead is so out of character. They treat him like a demon that is tormenting a vile sinner in Hell for being evil. The thing is that Cenobites are all about sensation and embracing all that pain. They're not jailer meant to show evil people the error of their ways. The director seemed intent on showing they had read the Hellbound Heart by constantly referring to the Engineer. But it's obvious they didn't really "get" what the story is about. Oh, well. I quit after the sixth one. If there are worse ones than this one, God help the tormented souls that watched them!

Seeing how the series went through makes me appreciate the Hellraiser comicbooks now. A lot of them were written by, and consulted by, Clive Barker himself and gave some better lore of what the cenobites are like than the sequels did. Definitely recommend them for anyone interested in more good Hellraiser media! ^^

I haven't seen any of your videos recently. Glad to see this pop up.

While I do really like the films interruption of Pinhead/The Priest I kind of want to see Pinhead with a more androgynous look like in the novela, like almost a demonic David Bowie, it's a design not used too much in horror pop-culture at least in this kind of setting.

My niece and I are going through all of these again. That line where you find out that he has never done magic for his daughter was so strange, yet very telling about the character. You can tell he never even considered showing his daughter any of his tricks. What a weirdo! Also, this movie is how my niece found out about The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Glad to see I wasn't the only one whose mind jumped to Will Smith at the chair spinning bit.

16 years between this movie and Dr. Strange isn't "just a few years", that's more than a decade. He also directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which is really the film that was quite a step up in just a few years.

I appreciate the Hellraiser series, but have seen very few of them--too much body horror for my tastes (as in, /any/ body horror :p). Seeing them through, ahem, "Rose(s)-colored glasses," on the other hand, I could do all day! For one thing, the Cenobites are now almost cute with Roses supplying their dialogue. :D

Great video review! First time listening to one of your videos and it was fun as a hell of my own creation

Wow what a fun video. I love your use of sound effects and that PUR branded humor. DO ALL THE HORROR MOVIES lol I’ll watch um, you make um lol

The brilliant Clive Barker is way too much for Hollywood to stomach. This movie was like a bad acid trip. The comics and graphic novels are among my favorites but the way they kept milking sequels for the films even had Barker getting pissed. Thanks for the awesome content!

@@Chlorate299 that makes sense; while it's touted as this key to new sensory experiences by mortals selling it or mythologizing it, it strikes me that the box itself is an eldritch object that pulls you into opening it, even if you're not *looking* for crazy pleasure torment. Kirsty just seems curious without knowing alot about the box, and she manages to solve the puzzle - which always struck me as kind of unfair, but isn't that just the way of cursed items?

This is hilariously awful, and you make it even funnier, thanks! Your sound effects are especially on point.

great review. very funny! you need to do more movie reviews!

This sounds like it should be “Hellraiser: The Series”. Trim it to about 45-50 minutes and air it back to back with “Tales From the Crypt” or “The Hitchhiker”.

There's a line that the hellraiser movies toe for me. I don't mind body horror, nor do I object to bdsm, however 'sexual' body mutilation is a no go. These movies definitely push it into that realm, which is why I've never actually watched more then a few scenes here and there. But I love the lore of the cenobites and this universes concept of 'hell'. So I thank you for the review.

Love how you include ad, i wasnt mad but impressed. Great video

I'm impressed that you stuck it out through ten movies. I tapped out at the beginning of the one where they go into space. It seemed that after the first movie the puzzle box just started solving itself (to save time I assume). All the protagonist had to do was describe a little half-circle with their thumb on the top design and that was it.

Hellraiser honestly becomes 'so bad it's good' after the 4th one. The first 2 are amazing, 3 is decent, 4 is flawed but enjoyable. Everything after feels like spec scripts shoe horned into being Hellraiser, since they were. At least Inferno was watchable regardless. Less said about Revelations, the better.

I was genuinely shocked by how many Hellraiser sequels there were. I lost interest after the third one. I think the fourth was Hellraiser in space? But Hellraiser 2 is my favorite because it has a much more interesting story than the first or third.

I mean yeah Inferno has at least like An artistic sense to it and the fact that the director had some sort of vision for the series which is definitely unlike the other trashy Hellraiser Straight to DVD sequels

Omg. Thank you for 9:41 😂 I needed that laugh today.

holy shit the concept for this movie was absolutely written by a guy who had just watched Se7en and thought "what if this was ALSO a Hellraiser movie!". Honestly not a horrible idea
