Critique: Of the three Hellraiser movies, this is the most coherent, however, Clive Barkeresque grandeur can become a bit much. The already haunting music is better integrated in this one, which brings out the dark supernatural  We finally get some insight into the nature of Elliot/Pinhead's evil in his description of a World war I Battle. The scene where the spoiled vogues of the Boiler Room Club get massacred en masse is a joy for the real people of the world to behold.

Joey is getting signals from the TV now.
