Dave's Comments: Here is a nice example of why all movie studio executives should die. This movie was clearly butchered in the editing room. The only cut scenes I know about for sure were pictured in an old issue of Cinescape magazine of mine. But I suspect much material was removed from this movie to keep it short.

Jim's Comments: A much better movie than Hellraiser 3 ever could dream of being. I kind of felt almost like it was 2 movies crushed into a single movie. It is kind of cool, but I long for the days of Hellraiser, and Hellraiser II with the original Cinobytes instead of these Cinobytes of the week that the last two movies have come up with. If you have seen the first two or three and you are craving more of Pinhead, this will work as a fix, but it is just not as cool as the first two.
