25. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth dir. by Anthony Hickox (1992)
“Ready for your closeup?”
In Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Pinhead got himself trapped inside of some hellish sculpture. Well, that sculpture found it’s way into the hands of a homeless man and that homeless man sold that sculpture to some millionaire playboy/douche bag who keeps it in his weirdly sadistic night club. Naturally, Pinhead wants out, and he wants some new Cenobite pals.
Hellraiser III’s heroine, Joanne (Terry Farrell) [1], is an investigative reporter that gets wrapped up in the whole Hellraiser deal when she witnesses a club patron being ripped apart by chains at the local hospital. From there she looks into videotapes of Kirsty Cotton (from the first two Hellraiser films), investigates some strange happenings at J.P. Monroe’s nightclub, befriends J.P.’s ex-girlfriend Terri (Paula Marshall), and eventually has a pretty satisfying encounter with Pinhead and five new Cenobites.
I think I like the Cenobites in Hellraiser III the most out of all the movies. They’re just so ridiculous. Descriptions from Wikipedia:
Pistonhead: An evil sex fiend that owned “The Boiler Room” club; had a hot, never ending piston shoved through his skull.
Camerahead: An expert camera man for the news was killed by Pinhead; and brought back to life with a camera for an eye.
Dreamer: A smoking teenager that never had dreams; is now a Cenobite with a cigarette in a throat wound.
CD: A deejay from “The Boiler Room”; now Cenobite with the power to throw CDs like a ninja with throwing-stars.
Barbie: A bartender from “The Boiler Room”; now Cenobite wrapped in barbed wire; and has the ability to spit out white pus that ignites upon touching air.
I know I said that Hellraiser IV was my favorite, but I think I flip around each time I see a new Hellraiser film. If you’re going to watch a Hellraiser movie, watch this one.
