Alex B @AlexBioni Oct 8, 2026 I Am the Way I held off on watching this because I feared it wouldn't live up to the first two. It wasn't bad, but it definitely isn't as good as the original two. The dialogue is rough in spots, and what is it with these movies always having one insanely irritating character? I like that Pinhead is still trapped in statue form after the second movie, although it can look silly when his face is moving while the rest of him does nothing. The effects are cool and gross, just like the first two. The CD scene during the club attack was wild. I also really liked the lore we get with Pinhead. Pinhead's design looks a bit off this time. The nails look fake and don't have the same impact. Some of Doug Bradley's mouth open reactions also feel overly dramatic. The second act is lacking compared to the first and third. I'm glad I watched it and I'll probably revisit it during a Hellraiser marathon, but it doesn't bring much that's new. Honestly, it might be forgettable.

R @Yes123456 Aug 26, 2026 Firstly, I do not consider this a hellraiser movie. Hellraiser, has no sequels, is helmed by Clive Barker. This is a Miramax Hellraiser movie. And quite a fine one at that. It is fun, campy, and the SFX are great. Just the pick me up needed after Tony Randel's dreadful take on the characters. I don't even feel Hellbound to be deserving of a review. Anyways, this movie is pure dumb, campy fun. You can come for the great SFX, and stay for one of the funniest screen orgasms. Obviously, it's no masterpiece, but it's a nice little film.

After the receiving the scraps and mess of Hellraiser II, the third movie did its best to draw references and ties from both the first and second movie to make a coherent sequel. The movie itself branches away, main character wise, it's someone who we haven't met before. This added uniqueness, it stopped running through characters who'd had already finished arks, it was fresh. Now, with characters that'd existed across movies, I was sad to see Pinhead turn to a slasher, I don't think that was the intent of his character as seen as in the original movie and didn't feel right. I was also very upset the other notable cenobites were left unmentioned. There were a couple of funny lines/scenes that I have to credit the movie's composition for. Overall, I think this movie was ultimately edgier and a slower paced than either of the two movies prior to itself. It was Hellraiser, but not the proper Hellraiser.
