Wordiezett So much average

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

hosackl-1 I am commenting completely independent of this movie, without any affiliation whatsoever. I am also a die hard horror movie junkie. Okay...What the hell (no pun intended) is going on with the reviews of this movie? Straight up haters and horror snobs. There is so much horror CRAP that is spewed forth at the rate that cockroaches breed that I cherish a good horror movie these days. They are like diamonds in the rough and hard to find. Was this a great movie? No, it wasn't. But a 2 on IMDb it absolutely is not. I believe horror movies should be judged by their own standards. An absolute score might be a 3 or a 4, but a relative horror score (a score horror fans should pay attention to) would be closer to a 6. I watched this movie in its entirety and was entertained. This is what I consider to be a diamond in the rough - when you're scrolling through Netflix and you see 'sand Sharks' and 'sharknado' and various other turds, and you find yourself wanting to punch your own face, click on 'revelations' and enjoy a decent horror flick. I would say that the special effects were actually far better than the budget would otherwise suggest (here on IMDb estimated at 350k).Summary - if you're a horror snob from Harvard you will rate this movie a 1 or 2. If you are a normal horror loving fan then you will probably be entertained, but please leave your expectations at the door because it's not winning any awards. This is the one on Netflix you should at least try. Sincerely, A dude that hates scrolling through countless crappy horror movies and just wants to watch one that is entertaining (but you can call me Luke for short)

Frank Harrison About the only good thing I can say about this one is that it was, at least, written to be a "Hellraiser" movie. The problem is, it's a crappie one. A really shitty one. Apparently the only reason this movie was made (and in a matter of a few weeks at that) was for Dimension films to meet a contractual guideline. Reportedly unhappy with the quality of the production franchise linchpin Doug "Pinhead" Bradley IMDb refused to participate.It starts out as a half-ass-ed found footage movie and slides right into a half-ass-ed trapped in a cabin movie. The new cenobites (especially Pinhead) look terrible and they all seem to inhabit a studio apartment rather than a hell limited only by the darkest imagination. The cheap video quality neuters any atmosphere and the terrible script is supported by equally terrible actors.

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is awful. The first Hell raiser movie is great. Hell bound Hell raiser II is great. Hell raiser III hell on earth is great. The fourth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser Blood line is great. The fifth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser Inferno is better. And was not to good. The sixth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser hell seeker is better. And this was pretty bad. The seventh Hell raiser movie Hell raiser deader is a better movie and that was pretty bad. The eight Hell raiser movie Hell raiser hell world is better and that was not very good. This movie is badly written. It is also the some of the actors are not very good. It not scary at all. This ninth Hell raiser move. It is awful. Do not wast time and money do not see this awful movie.

TdSmth5 Two kids decide to leave their life of luxury behind and take a trip to Tijuana. One of them films everything with a camera. They pick up a girl at a bar, but the alpha guy steals her from his friend and has sex with her in the bathroom. The other guy walks in on them. Next morning they wake up in the bathroom (?) not remembering much but find the girl in a stall with her head smashed in. After some drama they go to another bar where some bum appears and offers them all sorts of experiences--he hands alpha guy the lament configuration box.Some of this is told backwards and in pieces. The two rich 1%er families of these kids have a fancy dinner. Also there, the sister of beta guy who was alpha's girlfriend. They have the bag of beta guy and in there is the camera and the mother watches and re-watches what happens to them after they open the puzzle box.What happened was that Pinhead of course shows up, chains alpha, there's another Pinhead-in-the-making and some other cenobites. All this is explained later when surprisingly the beta kid arrives at home much to the delight of the family. He's in shock and announces that they are coming. When he wakes up, he's actually not quite himself and eventually flips out. The bum also appears similarly announcing bad news for all. Eventually all hell breaks loose and we find out exactly what happened in Mexico.If you read in the trivia section how this movie came about, how production was rushed and took only a few weeks; how it was written by a guy who does make-up, and directed by someone with little experience, the surprise is that Hellraiser: Revelations isn't even worse. The score on IMDb is a bit unfair to the resulting product. Revelations isn't any worse than the awful 4 movies that preceded it. How can the terrible Inferno have double the score of Revelations? But it is fair score as a punishment to those behind this cynical and moronic project, the sole goal of which was to allow Dimension to keep profiting from the first movie. The unwillingness to hire Doug Bradley to play Pinhead is the catastrophic flaw of this movie. Because his replacement is a disaster. And the guy they hired to do his voice is even worse. And without a strong Pinhead you can't have a strong Hellraiser.The script in general isn't too bad. It has some good ideas...and some bad ones. Especially bad is the idea to have another little Pinhead. But worse is that the script doesn't have are any good lines for Pinhead. None.The movie features some POV camera work, not a whole lot. It does actually a good job of integrating POV with third person. The cast does a solid job I must say, even though I'm not crazy about the casting of the two kids. The lovely Tracey Fairaway is a revelation as well as the attractive first Mexican girl (Adel Marie Ruiz?). There isn't a whole lot of gore or horror as the movie is more interested in family drama.I'm giving the movie itself a 6. As a Hellraiser movie without Doug Bradley though, a 3 is indeed appropriate. Perhaps one day someone will pick up this franchise who will finally give Hellraiser fans something to be excited about. Instead of struggling to remake the first one, Hollywood should just give us a decent sequel. It shouldn't be that hard even for lalaland geniuses.
