Hellraiser 7: Deader

I love the series, it was one hat for me kept me interested each movie.

This one stars Kari Wuhrer as a reporter sent to Budapest to investigate and write a story for the "London Underground" on a suicide cult where the leader "brings back the suicide victim".

It was a great concept, an interesting work and new way to work a story around the box.... but there was much misdirection and a poorly written script. This movie could have been truly the best one based on the premise and idea behind it.... but the writer lacked a true focus on point A to point B to the ending.

That said, if you like the series this is by far the weakest, but not as bad as some of the Halloween/Friday the 13th/Chucky/Freddie/Candyman/etc series. This series is still the greatest of them all. By their 7th {if they made it that far..... they were a dead franchise that was just looking to milk as much as they could..... hell a couple of them were dead by their third movie.....}, this series is still in my eyes very strong and could keep having a future to it.

All that said, this movie still goes back to the direction and writing and it lacked. The acting was strong, a very good ensemble. I can't stress enough nor repeat it enough.... this movie premise and idea was a truly great one.... but the direction focus and writing just did not do it.

5/10 the worst in all the Hellraiser movies.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
