I have to confess that I was wrong about the fourth entry in the Hellraiser series, at least when I speculated that it would be the end of the line. I guess in the age of straight-to-video making a putrid, dreadful, stupid, unpopular sequel is no longer a bar to making yet another putrid, dreadful, stupid, unpopular sequel. Actually, this effort does have a moment or two, mostly when it’s “borrowing” material from the Clive Barker story that started it all or the comic book series spawned by the first two movies. It also takes a couple of dips into some semi-amusing S&M stuff. On the down side, Pinhead is in it only briefly. Comic books and nail-headed demons aside, this is mostly just a mediocre story about a bad cop who condemns himself to hell via the usual means. See if desperate
