Joseph Thorne is a detective that is very good at his job but he leads a bit of a shady life he is a great detective and to the outside world a dedicated family man but behind it all he loves his drugs and prostitues. When he is called to a brutal murder he finds a puzzle box at the scene and is instantly drawn to the box but intrigue some turns to obsession when he accidentally solves the puzzle and his life will be er be the same again.
This was a completely different pace to Hellraiser 4 with barely any screen time for pinhead and the other cenobites which is not a bad thing as it makes there appearance more of a treat. The whole film is a bit of a mind f*** with some many nightmareish scenes and by the end your left wondering yourself if what's happening is actually real or not. The large majority of the film doesn't feel like a Hellraiser film at all which I did enjoy this approach taking a different course from what went before. Solid acting and some good gore when it happens but it's the psychological side that's the main draw here.
Yet again a pleasant surprise and an other lesson learned just as with Bloodlines.
