Hellraiser: Hellseeker - 2002

 Ugh.  Another non horror movie crammed unceremoniously with Pinhead to make it interesting.

This is why people give up on this series.  This twosome is rough.  Now straight up, I will say this is better than the last movie.  Way better.  Maybe its the acting caliber, they have that guy from the Allstate commercials in this movie, and he isn't great, but he is way better than the last awful actor.  There is also a lot of sex in this movie, and tits, so that helps.  They also bring back Kirsty from the first 2 movies!

So basically, Allstate guy is some sort of office worker, and is having weird visions and problems all the time after a car crash he's in kills his wife.  He is the prime suspect in a murder case, and a few detectives are giving him the old harassment that's only reserved for white collar white men.  It is slowly revealed that Allstate was having loads of affairs, was in general a crappy guy, and there's more to the dead wife than he thought.  His wife?  Kirsty!  

The annoying dream within a dream, crazy fake reality thing is overplayed a lot in this movie, you're tossed around more than a crouton in a salad.  You don't know what's happening half the time, but it also doesn't matter cause in the end they're just killing time to get to the reveals, and a lot of the middle stuff bears no consequence on the movie.  The problem is though, it's also not particularly well done, well shot, violent, or cool, so a lot of the movie you're just waiting.

Shrug.  I couldn't tell ya.  It's not a good movie.  But it's better than the last one.  I'll give it one star higher.

Wicked Stepmother / Deadly Illusion - 1989 / 1987

 I had a Larry Cohen double feature just now, for no other reason than they were both free online and I generally like the guy.  Good thing ...
