It's not THAT bad.The overly hated HELLRAISER 3 has a lot wrong with it: It's middle section drags on forever, the main character is dull as a butter knife, Pinhead turns out to be a droning chatty cathy, the new Cenobites are lame as hell, and the never ending climax ends with a wet fart.
Well.
Make that a lot of bad.
As long as you keep your expectations at rock bottom you may even find a few surprises. Anthony Hickox is a stylish director, and while his over the top kinetic style doesn't fit the overall tone of the Hellraiser Universe, he still puts together some neat set-pieces (like the club massacre) that are worth seeing at least once. It's bad, that's for sure, but its not unwatchable, and you may even be forced to call a few bits...dare I say...fun? Even the ridiculous new Cennobites (CD MAN! CAMERA MAN! BARTENDER MAN!) are worth a few chuckles.
This review reads like Anthony Hickox is my brother in law.
