A
sleazy nightclub owner named J.P. Monroe
(Kevin Bernhardt) buys a 6ft sculpture
entitled "The Pillar of Souls"
with the face of Pinhead (Doug Bradley)
on it , demonically frozen in time and
space.
While JP is admiring the sculpture at his
nightclub he is bitten by a rat and then
his blood drips on the sculpture causing
Pinhead to awaken and takes control over
JP as he plans to roam the Earth for
destruction creating new Cenobites from
some of the people he killed.
Meanwhile,
a woman named Joey Summerskill (Terry
Farrell) continues to have nightmares of
his father (Peter Boynton) being killed
at war as he seems to be trying to get a
message to her about the puzzle box she
encountered with an estranged woman named
Terri (Paula Marshall) while Joey tries
to discover what it's all about after
experiencing a horrible incident of a
patient at a hospital with Terri.
A film taken in a
totally different direction than in the
first two with using only Pinhead as the
reprinsing character and a whole new
story too.
It's very interesting watching this
happen in mostly a small city of Pinhead
creating destruction there.
The film offers lots of action but it's
nowhere as dark as the first two.
The acting is
again maginificent as I enjoyed Kevin
Bernhardt's role as a sleazy bar
owner who seems like those real owners at
a sleazy joint in a rough town.
Doug Bradley seems very
different this time with his role as
Pinhead as at times he seems almost
human.
Paula Marshall does wonderful
with her disturbed reactions towards the
events that happened at the hospital.
Another supporting actor Ken
Carpenter offers some comedic lines
with hias role once he is turned into a
cenobite and it works very well.
Hooks are impaled
on numerous victims
A patients face is blown off.
Flesh is torn off a broad
There are tons of slaughterings at a bar
as CDs are impaled in a bouncer's head,
eyes are stabbed, decapitations etc.
A hole is shot in the head of a long
haired city local.
Anthony Hickox takes
on this sequel now and is not too bad
with his work on it.
I enjoyed the scene where Doug
Bradley confronts Terry Farrell during
a hallucination scene on how Bradley's
character explians why he is Pinhead and
how to try and why he does the evil
deeds.
Also there's a great slauughtering scene
at the bar as well as the Cenobites
invading the small city.
I enjoyed the take on Kevin Bernhardt
and Paula Marshall when
Farrell discovers that they are
transformed into Cenobites as the
direction for that is marvellous and then
Bradley's role approaches with a
nice light effect gives this film the
perfect touches along with the box
sucking them back into their world.
Afterwards there's a nice little dialogue
scene between Peter Boynton and Farrell
changing the scene to Bradley and
Farrell and then Bradley playing
two different roles after that.
Brilliant!
There's lots more to this but it would be
a spoiler!
Randy Miller is
the composer this time around and from
start to finish he is terrific with it
having the real sounds for a city
lifestyle horror film or an action one
like you see in Batman
for that matter with a strong orchestra
background.
We have a bitchin to the
wall soundtrack by many metal and hard
rock bands like:
Ten Inch Men - "Go With Me"
Material Issue - "What Girls
Want"
Electric Love Hogs - "I Feel Like
Steve"
Triumph - "Troublemaker"
KMFDM - "Ooh La La"
Tin Machine - "Baby Universal"
The Soup Dragons - "Divine
Thing"
House of Lords - "Down, Down
Down"
Chainsaw Kittens - "Waltzing with a
Jaguar"
Of course
we have the hair metal band Motorhead
with their stompin track
"Hellraiser" as Lemmy wrote the
song for Ozzy Osbourne's "No
More Tears" album during the closing
credits (What better way to end a movie)
Joey: Oh, Doc. No.
Camerahead Cenobite: Have you seen
what he did to me, you little bitch? Have
you seen?
Camerahead
Cenobite: Ready for your close
up Joey?
Terri Cenobite: [after
being transformed into a Cenobite] I
can dream now, Joey. Oh, you wouldn't
believe what I can dream of now.
J.P. Cenobite:
Relax, baby. This is better than sex.
Camerahead
Cenobite: [After a squad car
and the police explode]: That's a
wrap
The Priest: Demons
aren't real. Theyre parables, metaphors.
Joey: [as the doors open and
Pinhead enters] Then what the fuck is
that?
Joey: [stabbing
Pinhead] Go to hell.
