If you can watch them with an open mind, I found parts 5-7 are actually quite good as really creepy, Night Gallery-esque style horror stories.
It helps if you can put yourself in the shoes of the main character.
In Part 5, he's basically already dead in his own personal hell, which Pinhead states to Kirsty, we are all in our own personal hells.
In part 6, the lead character basically has amnesia and doesn't realize what he's brought upon himself.
In part 7, Keri Wuhrer who brings quite possibly the best acting the series has ever seen, escapes both Winter and Pinhead by taking her own life after facing what she's done.
I actually used to hate all the sequels after part 4, but now I actually like them a lot for what they are. Really messed up cautionary tales, like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, or Night Gallery episodes.

I love 5, 6 was alright, hated 7, and 8 was mostly fan service for horror fans, lots of sex and blood complete with Doug Bradly and Lance Henriksen.
3 was.... alright... the cenobites were terrible other than Pinhead and I wasn't upset that he was turned into a typical horror movie monster, I mean they had him revert to his human self in the previous movie so his humanity splitting from the cenobite self was acceptable.
4 was different, apparently it would have been better if the editing was done better but I didn't think it was too bad.

The original poster spammed that BS on every hellraiser sequel board like it's making some historic point.
I'm glad there's more than just myself to help balance it out.
