Review – Hellraiser: Hellworld

And yet they keep making them. In a realm beyond pleasure, beyond pain, beyond plot and character, beyond logic, beyond special effects, beyond acting, beyond directing, in the farthest extremes of human experience, dwells crap like this. The acorn that fell from the Barker tree nearly 20 years ago just keeps rolling and rolling, eventually making it all the way to the land of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Doing the whole reflexive thing late in the series worked for Freddy Krueger, but this movie doesn’t give it enough of a chance. There’s a lot of nonsense about computer games and cell phones. Doug Bradley puts in an appearance, though it’s more for show than anything else. There’s also a smattering of soft core porn, but it doesn’t work any better than the rest of the movie. Overall, well, there is no “overall” analysis because the movie isn’t structured as a cohesive whole. Instead it’s a patchwork of dumb little ideas, most of which don’t work on their own and none of which work together. Wish I’d skipped it
