A good, fun, Cult-Classic Gore-Heavy Supernatural Comedy Horror
Good start, dragged on through the middle, solid ending
(Spoilers) Very charming movie
Did anyone watch the Theatrical release first, and like the movie? What did you rate it?
Can't believe I suffered through the entire movie. 0/10 for effort.
Not as bad as people make it out to be
Way better than the first!
Would rate it higher but... (spoilers)
Your favorite TCM movies in order (best to worst)?

Covenant
If I remember correctly; you do see her in the outfit briefly but I think only in a flashback or two from the previous movie.
This is what I was thinking.

...I never thought of it like that, but, you're not wrong 😂
I agree, I thought Covenant and Prometheus were more sophisticated, and I mean with these Alien movies you can't leave it on a 'happy' ending. I gave this one a 5/10; like another thread mentioned, it was pretty much just a mash up of the other movies and didn't serve any purpose to the story nor the viewer. It was just a generic Sci-Fi horror movie with some fairly good CGI (bar Rook!)
They could have had something interesting with ND but they wasted that potential when they decided to take out Rook's chip.
(7/10) Hellraiser (1987)
(7/10) Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)
(6/10) Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
(6/10) Hellraiser III (1992)
(6/10) Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002)
(5/10) Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)
(5/10) Hellraiser: Deader (2005)
As per the title; I do, in fact, think it was slightly worse.
I thought Hellseeker was a point better than Deader. Hellseeker was similar to Inferno (which I gave a 7/10, of which the only other movie in the franchise I scored that high was the first!), I gave Hellseeker a 6/10 and Deader a 5/10. The toilet jump scare, the train, the claustrophobic scene, and bathroom scene were all solid (where she tries to get the knife out of her).
An okay ending but did feel tacked on, in fact the whole story did feel very blasé and really failed to get much emotion from the viewer, imo.
Hellseeker I thought the story was more interesting as it was similar in a lot of ways to Inferno, but then they had the larger, unexpected 'twist' at the end.
I'm just about to check out Hellworld :o
I don't think it was significantly weaker, but yes like Sidha108 said, it seemed like it was somewhat rushed for other projects, and to me it seemed like a pilot/prototype more for the 'Scary Movie' franchise. 5/10.
That was really odd, yea, I noticed that straight away! The heck?! lol. She's a babe but damn that hair stylist did her dirty!
