I just watched Hellworld, and I must say I feel I've been cheated into watching this.. I loved the first two movies, and I even had some fun with the silly 3rd one and the comicbook-like bloodlines. Inferno and Hellseeker were different beasts, but the psychological horror was nice and kind of showed a new facet of pinhead's tortures, and they still sort of fit into the HR theme. Deader really didn't really fit into the series, but it was an OK movie, still dark and mystical in its theme and atmosphere.
Now, Hellworld was just a lame teen-slasher with a slightly interesting plot twist. boohoo. Makes it seem like the producers just wanted to hop onto the bandwagon and make a quick cash in the DVD market..
Here's hoping for brighter days for the Hellraiser series. Maybe the upcoming remake will bring it back to its feet and make it stand as a legitimate series rather than a collection of random horror flicks with a casual cameo by pinhead..
As for the list:
1: Hellraiser
2: Hellraiser: Hellbound
3: Hellraiser: Hellseeker
4: Hellraiser: Inferno
5: Hellraiser: Bloodline
6: Hellraiser: Deader
7: Hellraiser: Hell on Earth
8: Hellraiser: Hellworld
