Hellraiser V – Inferno (2000)
January 29th, 2005
Recently I discovered I have the first 6 Hellraiser movies; and having only ever watched the first, I set out to watch the rest. I’m not a gorey type of person and horror movies aren’t something I watch to get a kick out of, but I felt that having these films would be useless if they were never to be watched.
So far all of the previous Hellraisers have been about Pinhead giving wannabe intellectual monologues about how everything is about flesh and dominion, however this film was more inclined to being a David Lynch film than a Clive Barker. Infinite loops that have no victorious escape is how I’d sum this film up. The film touches on morality and places emphasis on how you will pay for your own seflishness and those you hurt. The conclusion of the film at the end was warming and the horror of the film was more psychological than graphic detailing.
If you don’t mind disturbing films I would recommend you go and watch this. Thumbs up!
