Essentially a remake of Hellraiser Inferno with a twist.

It's better than a late entry in the Hellraiser series has any right to be. There's loads of gruesome, odd, Barker inspired imagery as you'd want from Pinhead and his crew. However all of that is sandwiched between a cop procedural story which you'd be drunk if you had a shot every time they cover one of usual tropes. Donut eating cops, shot, detective that drinks too much to deal with the case, shot, his wife has had enough of being absent and working the case, shot, investigating every crime scene with torches, shot, only two to three cops working a massive serial killer case which in real life would have an entire task force assigned, shot. Not to mention dozen other things that are rather silly like two brothers working on the force alongside one another conflicts of interest be damned. They say they are cops but you really don't get any indication that any one else works in this police station. It's also odd how they make a deal in prior films that opening the puzzle box is well... A puzzle whereas it's opened here in mere seconds by two people that don't know what it is.

On the plus side its brisk, short film and is at least better than bottom of barrel entries like Hellworld. It may not have Bradley but its certainly better than the latter entries he was happy to appear in and at least they try and do something with the mythology as Barker did in his Scarlet Gospels novel.
