Deader is about Kari Wuhrer being a newspaper reporter.........her boss sends her on assignment to investigate a cult called the Deaders. They are a group of people who kill themselves but somehow manage to come back to life (which is never explained in the movie by the way). She gets mixed up with them.....and Pinhead. It seems Pinhead is pissed because they are crossing worlds and coming back........and for some unknown reason the leader of the Deaders is yet another Decendent of LeMerchand (from Bloodline)..........
After watching deader i had the impression that someone wanted another hellraiser movie to be made. A wrter was sought and given a deadline for a draft. I believe that writer spent his entire time taking drugs and when the deadline came he realized he had spent his entire time and advance on drugs, so he pulled a story that he written a few years ago out of his drawer and just wrote pinhead into the story.
meh.....to each his own.
I like Hellraiser because of the original idea.......lust/greed and the punishment that follows. I could care less about Pinhead.....he wasn't intergal to the story of the first one either. Inferno is one of the best examples in the series of the philosophy the original was based on.
um....no...
In inferno he is not in some time warp.........he is in hell, constantly having to relive his misdeeds as punishment..........just as in Hellraiser 2 Frank is in hell, having to live with naked women moaning around him only to disappear when he goes to touch them...as punishment. I don't know where you're coming from on this.
The Hellbound Heart is an awesome read, and Hellraiser the movie did a faithful adaptation. My favorite scene in Hellraiser was when Frank was being tortured by the Cenobites by being pulled apart with hooks, he actually ad-libbed a line that wasn't in the script by saying "Jesus Wept". I love that part. LOL
