Editorial Reviews

J.P., a womanizing night club owner, buys a bizarre abstract pillar at a mysterious art gallery. Unknowingly he's purchased the gateway to hell! Attached to the pillar is the hedonistic Cenobites, minions of sensuality who offer the exquisite temptation of everlasting pleasure... but deliver pain horrific pain. Merciless Cenobite Pinhead uses J.P. to gain freedom from the box, but if his freedom is to last eternally he must destroy the captive's box that summons him back to hell. A young news reporter, drawn into her own strange dream, becomes the sole keeper of the secret that will prevent Pinhead frome creating hell on earth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hellraiser III on DVD Finally!, August 24, 2001
First, the DVD, it's not the greatest in the world, No Dolby 5.1 Surround, not letterboxed, but nice to complete the series on DVD at last. This is technically the unrated version of the film, 2 added minutes, which is mostly extended gore...Great stuff! There are NO extras either, oh well. It's available, I guess that's what counts and as originally a Paramount Pictures release I wouldn't look for a Collector's Edition any time soon. As for the movie itself, I loved it. With the introduction of new Cenobites, CD head the coolest of them all, gave us a fresh perspective of Pinhead's abilities to replace his former troup. Unfortunately they didn't give his new cohorts a lot time to explore. Pinhead does get more screen time (unlike Hellraiser Inferno) and finally Doug Bradley (not Doug Stewart as mentioned in another review) gets screen time without makeup, gives us a broader view of his backstory and how he became this monstrosity. ("Bloodline" gives us the Lament Configuration Box history). All in all a pretty good film except for some cheesy effects, the melding of Pinhead and Elliott at the end is a good example. Here's hoping for Hellraiser six, although when I met Doug Bradley he told me not to hold my breath for number 5, but I think he needs to redeem himself after "Inferno". To me Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth was Heaven on Earth.

3.0 out of 5 stars And now for the let down..., August 9, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
NO extended or deleted scenes. The film IS anamorphic widescreen, but it fails to mention it on the dvd case--it simply says it's "letterboxed". It's Dolby 2.0 sound with some rear speaker ambience. There's a "Clive Barker The Art of Horror" featurette that runs a half-hour and is an old, dated documentary.The picture looks better than on any of the previous bogus releases, but it hasn't been through any kind of restoration, so the print itself has plenty of wear and tear. Oh well. At least we can rejoice that it's an official widescreen release to include with the rest of the series on our shelves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent entry in the Hellraiser saga, which is getting a re-release in August., April 22, 2006
By 
D. A. Leonard "devintvi" (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anyone looking to get this movie should know that a real RE-release of it is planned for August OF 2006, by Paramount Pictures. The re-relese will include a new Anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby 5.1 sound, along with a few extras.

This is a decent entry in the Hellraiser saga, and the frist time that this particular chapter is getting a real release. I would suggest anyone wanting this move to wait untill August and by it from Amazon then.
