The best of the Hellraisers.

The most imaginative of the series, the layout of Labyrinth was inspired - complete with the Leviathon's 'see the worst in you' rotating laserlight like a searchlight in a concentration camp.

Love the autistic child and the fact that the horror does not mess with her and she remains intact to the end. The horrors throughout are as much psychological as physical, featuring hells of ennui (such as Frank's hell) and of parental abandonment (when the light flashes over the child). There is some gore but apart from the scene whereby the vision of her father rubs blood using his skinned finger on a wall - nothing truly terrible.

The touch of fantasy carries this film further than the others, hell here is more realistic - the place is almost indifferent to the damned and huge.. you are alone with just the waste from your own psyche to torment you... Hell being a tincture made from your own soul instead of the fantasy of another. It's a shame they did not explore Leviathon in the later films - I watched a good number of them hoping it would show up but it never did.
