Hellraiser: Deader (2005)
Directed by Rick Bota, this is another entry in his horrible run on the Hellraiser series. Pretty much doomed since the great Hellbound: Hellraiser II, the series has been slowly strangled to death by an apparent lack of understanding about what people liked about the first two. Bota's films actually have a lot in common with the first Hellraiser, which in itself is actually pretty slow-moving and devoid of Cenobite action. The first Hellraiser had a new concept and some awesome scenes, though, whereas Bota's generally just have a few interesting scenes hidden in absolute boredom. Personally, I think the Hellraiser series should be looking to Hellbound in terms of direction, while dropping the adult and stuffy trend of late. The use of CGI effects in these movies needs to end as well. I can't recommend this movie at all.
Tagline: The Latest, Most Terrifying Evil.
Highlights: Pinhead, although he's a little cheesy here. The seedy subway car was perhaps the best part in terms of imagery.
