Hellraiser 6: Hellseeker: Deusdaecon Reviews 

_"Which do you find more exhilarating, Trevor, pain or pleasure? Personally, I prefer pain."_ *No no no no no...* How hard is this to get? The Cenobites are beyond the two concepts to a point that they are interchangeable. Pain is pleasure, pleasure is pain. To them there is no distinction between these concepts.

At this point the ‘it was all a dream’ is just a thing because the filmmakers don’t know how to end a scene

I'm 19 it's 2019 and I know what a vhs is I had 1 I got from my grandmother in 2017

Wanna know something funny? Here's the exact plot that was written on the DVD cover: "When the puzzle box is once again solved, the devastating demon, Pinhead and his legion return to unleash Hell on Earth and demolish all who dare oppose them. But standing in his way is Kirsty Cotton - the only person who has defeated Pinhead in the past - and it's up to her to save the world from this ultimate evil!" Definitely doesn't seem like what the narrator showed us. Or maybe he was reviewing the wrong movie.

This seems less like a Hellraiser movie and more like an episode of "Tales from the Crypt" with "Jacob's Ladder" imagery.

It has been shown that asphyxiation does cause a sense of euphoria before loss of consciousness. That's why auto erotic asphyxiation happens.

It doesn't matter if kirsty opens the box because she wasn't the one who wanted to open the box.

I agree with you, the idea of Kirsty opening the box was stupid because her of all people would know better not to, but as in the other films as you stated she was the innocense that was caught up in the actions of evil people, but my theory is now that Kirsty is a grown adult and have been subjected to the acts of evils and desires, innocense to her is now a blurred line... my main idea is that it was the desire of getting back at her husband that made her open the box, and the pleasure was her making the deal with pinhead, being able to frame her husband for the murders that she commited and got away with thus killing him in the process.. and to me this theory works pretty well, from goign from a innocent sweet teen, having tasted many different pains and betrayed by the ones that she had once loved her, turned her into this adult that we no longer can establish connecteion with... Kirsty has grown and so hasnt her ideals and believes... its the only way i can justify why the did this to Kirsty.. maybe one day we will get a real return of Kirsty and have her seal the box for good

Well...at least....Kirstie seems to have aged very well

" go home engineer you're drunk" Fucking cracking up rewatching this.

Funny , considering Kirsty becomes the Hell Priestess in Pinhead's place,nice graphic novel for that👍👍

At least Dante’s Inferno had an interesting interpretation of hell.

There are some that are definitely worse story wise when it comes to Hellraiser sequels, but I think that I would hate this one the most out of all of them because of what was done to Kirsty. One of the things I really like about the first two Hellraiser movies is Kirsty, she is a very smart and likable protagonist that I find myself cheering for, this Kirsty has none of that. I don’t think it would have saved the movie but it would have definitely made a lot more sense to have Pinhead acting on his own in tormenting Kirsty’s husband and his lovers as some sort of weird sort of affection towards her and he feels like she belongs with him in one way or another. It at least would have brought back at least some of the more ambiguous nature as well as being demons to some and angels to other being a demon to the husband and lovers as well as some sort of avenging angel towards Kirsty. Also take out the husband giving Kirsty the puzzle box, but it mysteriously appeared at the crash sight and when Kirsty sees it she realizes that Pinhead did this and that is why she looks so physically shaken.

Now I cannot resist the temptation to beg that you do a review on Jacobs Ladder with all of your brilliant and informative behind the scenes info inserts you do here and there throughout your reviews. Any possibility in the future?

This is not a good idea, but in the scope of this crappy movie I always thought it would make more sense to have Kristie had been reborn as the cenobite after her husband fed her to the box and then this movie is about her punishing him. Maybe she could take over for Pinhead as the main cenobite. Like I said this is a bad idea. I just think it would be better than this.

So while I don't like the idea of Pinhead being some big end all devil figure (which he is NOT. Cenobites aren't truly evil. They're neutral observers), I did like this theory that the bum and the merchant are one in the same

11:10 That's the puzzle ball from Cabin in the Woods!

The film missed out, because they had a perfect way to make the movie awesome and hold to cannon by just bringing Julia back, be her wearing Kirsty's skin but so it goes.

Here is a way that this could have still worked without Kirsty being the killer. She could have popped up in the end and said something along the lines of, "While opening the box does call them, one thing you didn't know that I do. It's your desire that called them". Then could have her reveal his body. It still makes it so he's the one dead the whole time. The whole Pinhead wants Kirsty thing I think is a "worthy adversary" type of thing. Having her would end the cat and mouse chase game they had. The possible deal intrigued him. I also think the not innocent anymore sadly does work. She's older likely more jaded. I can see Pinhead allowing her to observe her husband's suffering (more mental no physical) until her revealing it in the end like in my scenario. Edit: Forgpt I posed a similar idea before but less detail lol

They basically took Kirstie's character and royally pissed on it......woooow And I thought they couldn't do worse than Hellraiser 5 - oh how I was wrong....

I like your reviews, but I have to say this to improve them: the sound volume/levels changes drastically several times.

Hell raiser 1-4 were actual Hellraiser movies the rest were written has thrillers but the studio decided to throw pinhead in it it started with part 5 because the studio was about to lose their rights to the movie Clive Barker eventually became over it and had nothing to do with the movies has well as Doug Bradley soon dropped out due to corny scripts

I feel like in the hands of a competent team of writers and directors, the idea of Kirsty gradually becoming a more corrupted, scheming individual could have been interesting. A tragic, bitter fall, but perhaps a satisfying one still, if handled with care, and patience. This wasn't that.

"Hellseeker" sounds like a missile designed for attacking hell. which is somehow just as incompetent as this movie.

0:25 The music from the opening credits to Hellseeker make me think Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, which the movie would have been a lot scarier if they had the Joker become a cenobite.

you have a surprisingly good pinhead impression

"You've seen Jacob's Ladder!" No, actually, this video's the first I even knew "Jacob's Ladder" had ever been used as a movie title. Googled it, probably still won't see it.

This remains one of my favorite RU-vid channels ever. These videos are timeless

pinhead is a nightmare on elm street (Freddy Krueger)

14:23 ha you cant convince me in a million years that is her bf

19:58-20:05 Oh god, Pinhead's turned into Judas Traveller!

GO HOME ENGINEER! YOURE DRUNK!

thickening the soup....wouldn't that make the plot a stew? ;)

Deus.. I know it ain't your jam, man, but you should do more contemporary and popular horror films. Would LOVE to have you do The Shining and then Doctor Sleep. Your analysis is wonderful, but your channel would benefit from such. Either way,

Anyone else recognize Trevor from the "Mayhem" allstate commercials?

Can I make a recommendation? Watch Angel Heart with Mickey Rooney & Robert DeNiro . It's the good, noirish, intelligent, and atmospheric version of this. It'd make a good review and I'd love to hear your take on it.

This could have still made sense in the continuity. She asked him if it's what he wanted. Kirsty could have opened it figuring they wouldn't take her since it wasn't her desire to open the box. It was his. She was aware of this caveat not him. Edit: Honestly, I would go as far as Pinhead wanting to recruit her to join him.

Hellraiser 6: Jacob's Ladder ripoff

To give it a tiny bit of credit, with all the sex and then Cenobites they are trying to do pleasure and pain, they just had no idea how to combine the 2 in a way the Cenobites would, so instead they do 1, then the other. It's not much, but I feel like this might be the last actual time we get even the tiniest glimpse of it.

there is a deleted or alternate scene with pinhead talking to kirstie, where he mentioned her father and frank and her step mom, and also his death for her

I want to point out something though about Kirsty's character, she can do this out of fear and going insane from it but without any indication that was happening and showing she was living a normal life till the return of the box kind of makes it extremely unbelievable she would do this kind of thing or reopen the box at all.

...Is Trevor the Mayhem guy?

It could be argued that Hellraiser 5 and 6 could have been good films if they weren’t Hellraiser films. They both have some good metaphors like the Engineer being the symbol for the main character being the one who created their own nightmare. But that’s probably me getting romantic over what ifs again.

The ending is well done as Kirsty having killed 5 people to save herself is stuck with the Lament Configuration forever , a reminder of what she has done to escape . Or it is really an escape ? I think Kirsty really did not want to deal with all this bullshit for a third time and was very desperate to get out of it once again . I wasn't bothered by her being a murderer because of it, I am however bothered that we don't get to see the character development of her turning into a killer . The movie has flaws but is still solid .

okay I did some research this was written as a sequel to the inferno script BEFORE that one was made into a hellraiser movie the nthey tried putting this as a stand alone movie but got drafted into hellraiser anyway

17:49 What, no Basic Instinct reference? Tsk, sir.

Still love your videos man, hope your doing well ✌️

I remember that at this point I started reading the comics when i saw this review a couple years ago and i WISH pinhead got his hands on Kirsty because holy shit that could've led into the amazing designed Kirsty from the Hellraiser Comics

21:06 oh that wasn’t an illusion that was just your average police brutality

8:10 This is what happens when technology develops faster than people. 14:13 It's at this point I realize they apparently became keen on trying to turn Pinhead into Freddy Kruger. :/

Love the hair bro

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I think hands down you do the best reviews

It would have made more sense for this to be a silent hill movie/game over a Hellraiser movie. Honestly it could have been a good one

Isn't this also really similar to the plotline of Silent Hill 2?

The only thing missing is the engineer poppin out Black goo and Xenomorph infestation

Rian "Roundhouse" Johnson must of been the director of this movie or had some hand in it.

Eh sure making Kirsty into a mass murderer might be controversial, and the film is pretty much an unofficial Jacobs Ladder film, but of all the sequels after 4, this one felt like the most effort was put into it to make it a Hellraiser film. Might be a bad film sure, but as a direct to video Hellraiser sequel, it's probably the best of the bunch.

I just want to point out that the thumbnail looks like Neelix doing a Pinhead cosplay.

17:45 What. Hellraiser 6 thinks it's Basic Instinct now?

Apparently Ashley Laurence was only paid enough money to make a payment toward a new refrigerator.

At least she wasn’t throwing chips at the driver

as a kid I didn't like columbo now I started watching it again and a few other shows I didn't like as a kid MAN I did not appreciate those shows for what they were

I love these reviews, especially your absolute saltiness. However, just as a question, were you aware that Kirsty actually does become a Cenobite in the comic series? I'd love to know your opinion on that.

Lol, go home engineer, you’re drunk.😂

I definitely feel it should have ended with the fourth one. I liked bloodlines and it showed you how it all started was great. Every one else I just think of them as part of the series.

Kirsty is still hot in it, underused though.

I always thought that pinhead dying opened up his body to allow it to be possessed by something darker than leviathan so he wasn’t pinhead anymore

1:07 - 1:18 => And yet most Christians base a major doctrine over a piece of literature like Dante's Inferno, claiming such a hell as unshakable truth. I myself am Christian but think a Dante's Inferno-like hell for my enemies is stupid and false.

I don't understand why they changed Christy from being a friend of Rory's who is secretly in love with him to the daughter of Larry ( think that was what Barker changed his name to in the film, i forget). Obviously i understand someone decided that the name Rory would be better being changed because it's not a common name in the U.S. but changing her relationship with him doesn't change a whole lot.

Small complaint but how the hell would Frank have had money to leave to her ? The guy was a full blown hedonist , it even talks about him basically living the life of an international bum in constant persuit of pleasure. Also once again the cenobites have no clue what the line is that sperates pain from pleasure , in their warped way they think they are giving the person who opens the portal what they truly want.

Love it when you rant over awful movies. Shows you care about quality at least.

WHY IS DEAN WINTERS IN THIS MOVIE? He should be in Oz or driving up people's insurance rates

You guys remember when the cinnabites were the bad guys but they actually had to be called upon to do horrible things they weren't just your typical cookie cutter Jason Voorhees Freddy Krueger Michael Myers

Ah but mister Barker kept that part of Kirsty's character in the comics. Interesting

British Pinhead impression made me laugh

Did the people who made "The Lego Movie" watch *this* movie?

the engineer has force choke?

i found interesting the fact that kirsty begins her transformation, as she later on goes to take pinhead's place as high priest of hell

I think at 13:37 that is another version of the Pear Of Anguish?

I stay away from this one. Another ones of my favourite reviews.

Clive Barker once said that this is the best Hellraiser since Hellbound

26:20 => Uhhh .... wow .... This really doesn't make any sense.

Was this the one were Pinhead doesn't show up till about 70 minutes into the movie?

Do the Saw series!!!!!!!!!

All this is, is them trying to do a "darker" Jacobs Ladder. But without the thought, like the Tibetan Book of the Dead stuff and all that. But Jacobs ladder left you kind of hopeful in a way(because it's just a good movie). This was crap in my opinion.

I’m mostly interested in writing my own version of hell rather than Dante’s Inferno’s.

Dean Winters is too fucking good for this movie.

.... so the policeman is not going to question the gun shot wound in the guy’s head?

7:07-7:13 Was that a slip of the tongue, or were you _actually_ referring to Pyramid Head from the Silent Hill series? Because, coincidentally, it still makes sense either way.

Hey I'm 24 and I own a tape player some films I like are only on vhs tapes so it comes in handy if you feel old mentioning it then I must be ancient lol :)

the vhs thing is hilarious mostly because I said the same thing a few days ago

What is Jacobs Latter? What's it about?

Mayham

kirsty should be the star

Even though it's not a "Hellraiser movie", Hellraiser 6 is the best out of the post-Hellraiser 2 movies. It's got some clever little turns in it and is much better than its horrible doppelganger; Hellraiser 5. At least I liked the protagonist in this one. It's far less insulting to the franchise than what comes later or that cyber party one... :::shudders:::

It's a less obvious Jacob's Ladder ripoff than Silent Hill 5

You plan on seeing the remake deusdaecon

I'm pretty sure it wasn't keys they were shaking in our faces

Mayhem

💀..little "passionate", are we..? (It's all cool.. couldn't have put it better myself..)~Peace
