In the fifth sequel of the "Hellraiser" series, the puzzle box, best known as the "Lament Configuration," has been solved again and the demonic Pinhead (Doug Bradley) has returned to Earth again with his legion of Cenobites to bring torture and death to those who stand in his way and to release Hell on Earth once more. But Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence), the only person who has defeated Pinhead twice, is back and ready to fight Pinhead and the Cenobites once again.
Much better than Hellraiser IV and V. This movie is a lot more intelligent that it first seems and doesn't have a half bad plot. Kirsty makes an appearance also. Once again this is not a demon movie like Hellraiser I-III.
"A very credible entry in the Hellraiser series, Hellraiser: Hellseeker presents a nifty puzzle for gore fans, plus plenty of philosophical musings from the ineffable Pinhead ("Personally, I prefer pain"). A smoldering Dean Winters plays a man who survives a car accident in which his wife was apparently killed; because of a head injury, his memory is mixed up, and he can't distinguish between reality and fantasy. The borrowings from Memento are obvious, and the fragmented story pieces may not all fit together, but the mystery does become tantalizing. Within the low-budget constraints, veteran cinematographer Rick Bota (making his directing debut) keeps the atmosphere clipped and gloomy. The film also brings back Ashley Laurence, who appeared in the original installments of Clive Barker's franchise. One question: with Pinhead in the house, is visiting an acupuncturist really a good idea?"
