Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
vengeance20 Wasn't expecting this to be great & quite frankly was right as it wasn't. Saw it 3 years ago & didn't like it, though for all those years after watching the Hellraiser films once again, I feel no different from this 7th sequel which just like it's cover & name "Deader" sounds as if they've ran out of ideas for the Hellraiser Franchise!The film is about Deaders & this reporter, or journalist goes in search from the greatest story cliché & uncovers a far bigger mystery than she could've ever imagined. She then comes across the Puzzle Box & foolishly like the others, opens it & unleashes hell, this time around the Deaders become the victims as with herself!The film felt very flat & boring. There wasn't much going on a lot of the time & being honest, felt very dry & gloomy (not in a good way). I also felt it was trying too hard in places & didn't really have anything iconic about it. It was bloody, give them their due, but the film felt flat & didn't really have anything redeeming about it! Even the first 2 films were better than this & that's saying something else.The actress Kari Wuhrer, playing this reporter/journalist was pretty hot & sexy but that is probably 1 out of the few redeeming things about this dull film I can think is good! It feels much like an anti climax of the previous 2 (Inferno & Hellseeker).Overall, weakest installment out of the 9 films. 4.0/10
tomgillespie2002 Like Hellseeker (2002) before it, Deader, the seventh entry into Clive Barker's Hellraiser franchise, takes an unrelated spec script and shoe-horns in a couple of fleeting appearances from Doug Bradley's Pinhead to try and justify its inclusion of 'Hellraiser' in the title. Say what you will about the first two sequels (I thought they were pretty bad), but they at least felt like they were set in the same universe as the wonderfully disturbing 1987 original. Returning director Rick Bota delivers yet another straight-to-video, poorly- acted stinker that looks as if it was directed by a group of goth kids making their first student film.This time, the plot revolves around investigative reporter Amy Klein (Kari Wuhrer), a feisty and dedicated type who always goes the extra mile to get to the heart of the stories she covers. We first meet her writing a story in a dingy crack house before she is shipped off to Budapest (where production is cheap) to investigate a mysterious group named the 'Deaders'. Based on footage recorded on a VHS tape, the Deaders are led by Winter (Paul Rhys), a man with the ability to bring people back to life. Her sleuthing leads to a corpse holding the Lament Configuration, which when opened unleashes Pinhead. The Cenobite warns Amy that Winter is operating outside of his control, and that he is a descendant of the toymaker who created the puzzle box. Is it all a dream, or are there supernatural forces at work?As to whether what you are watching is in fact a dream or not won't be a question you'll linger on for long. Like Dean Winters' character in Hellseeker, Amy ends many scenes by suddenly jerking out of a nightmare. It's a cheap, tiresome tactic which quickly removes any tension the film may have had otherwise. The idea of seeking the ultimate pleasure and, of course, the dangers that come with it, is a key theme running throughout the series, but this is all but gone in favour of a lightweight tale of an emo cult playing with resurrection. There's also a startling lack of gore. Regardless of how bad the preceding sequels are, you could always rely on a gruesome scene or two to keep you awake, so Deader's main issue is that it's a complete bore. Frighteningly, this is one of two Hellraiser films released in 2005.
Realrockerhalloween Deader is the final nail that broke the camel's back in a series with fascinating subject matters relating reality warping, pain and sex to psychological thrillers.This traded all that for a cult, drugs and hot twenty year olds making it a stinker.I was expecting to explore more of the mythology after seeker, but instead the cenobites are on the back burner gathering dust and only show up at random times.Taking the film to another country would've been a great way to enhance the atmosphere by using underground tunnels, old architecture and cobbled villages instead of the bland dull route they took.The cult seemed silly, not explored enough or even given a purpose. They die, take a drug and come back to avoid purgatory with our favorite nail man. Why not leave or get away from the city? Instead they build a sci fi ray gun to take him out. If your going to rob from your franchise don't use the sillier elements.You can tell by now the writers aren't even trying anymore and its nothing but a cash machine instead of producing great qualities to enjoy.Barker has many more books he wrote that would work on the big screen that explores the world set up in I and II much better.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is the seventh Hell raiser movie. And it is not good. It is a big pile pooh pooh. The first Hell raiser is very scary. That is a great movie. Hell bound Hell raiser II is a great movie. It is very scary. Hell raiser III hell on earth is a great movie. It very scary. Hell raiser the Blood line is also very scary. That is great movie. The eighth Hell raiser movie Hell raiser hell world is better and that one is not very good. This movie is confusing and hard to fellow. That's pooh pooh. It is not scary at all is just give you a headache if you try to fellow it. It is a mess. Do not wast your money. Do not wast you time. Do not see this movie.
