Member Rating:  
A sleazy nightclub owner purchases a strange, disturbing sculpture, which he soon discovers contains a mysterious, ornate puzzle box. This box is a legendary object that promises the secrets of ultimate pain and pleasure, but is in fact a gateway to hell. Soon the box's new owner has unleashed the evil Pinhead, a member of a race of supernatural beings known as Cenobites. Pinhead proceeds to murder numerous clubgoers in an attempt to gain power and fully free himself into the earthly realm. He faces unexpected opposition, however, from a television reporter investigating the mysterious club murders. When she discovers the truth behind the enigmatic puzzle box, she realizes that only she can stop the carnage. However, she must not only defeat Pinhead, but his fellow Cenobites, including the barbed-wire-wrapped Barbie and the horrific CD-Head. (Yes, CD-Head does indeed kill people by shooting CDs from his head.) Though this third entry in the Hellraiser series pays lip service to the intricate mythology of the first two films, especially through a series of flashbacks to Pinhead's human past, the film soon reverts to a fairly standard slasher formula. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

    First two "Hellraisers" paint a picture of timeless mystical beings who bring pleasure/pain as we(people) can't comprehend and then part 3 comes around and BAM!, we got electronic Cinobites and a slice of some stinky swiss cheese. Just shamefull. One Cinobite reaches inside his chest pulls out CDs/Dvds and tosses at people, killing them dead....with plastic. Another has a camrea sticking out of his eyesocket that shoots some kind of exsplosive projectile and then he says "Time for your close up." I love Pinhead as much as the next demented guy but come on, "Hellraisers" are not meant to be cheesy. At least the production values were good. -Stone

    Not really a bad hellraiser, but not the best. Still it's worth watching.

    Sadly, this movie is pitiful. There are definately some great quotes from Pinhead. Skip this one, and go to the next one, Bloodline, its pretty good.
