Directed By: Rick Bota
Written By: Carl V. Dupré & Tim Day
Starring: Dean Winters (Trevor Gooden), Ashley Laurence (Kirsty Cotton Gooden), William Taylor (Detective Lange), Michael Rogers (Detective Givens), Doug Bradley (Pinhead/Merchant), Rachel Hayward (Dr. Allison Dormer), Trevor White (Bret), Sarah-Jane Redmond (Gwen Stevens), Jody Thompson (Tawny), Kaaren de Zilva (Sage),
After how much I loved the last sequel, I had high expectations for this one. Upon reading up on it, I assumed it would be similar in style to the prior sequel and it did indeed follow a similar format that is more psychological in nature. I wound up liking this one as well though not as much as “Inferno.” Sadly, just like “Inferno”, this movie was also released straight to video and was not given a theatrical release.
The movie begins with Trevor Gooden married to Kirsty Cotton, from the first three “Hellraiser” movies.

Los Angeles – Richard Dawson, who had distinction in two areas of television – in his supporting role on the 1960s sitcom “Hogan’s Heroes” and as a game show host in the 1970s with his trademark of kissing contestants on “Family Feud” – died Saturday from complications due to cancer. He was 79.
Dawson was born Colin Lionel Emm to an American father and English Mother in Gosport, Hampshire, England in 1932. After running away from a poverty-ridden childhood to join the Merchant Marines at the age of 14, Dawson pursued boxing and entertaining once he was discharged. He first went on stage as comedian Dickie Dawson, but revised the name to Richard Dawson once he became established.

Director: Panos Cosmatos Writer: Panos Cosmatos Starring: Michael Rogers, Eva Allan, Scott Hylands Via a promotional video -- not all that dissimilar from the Dharma Initiative training films from the television series Lost -- Dr. Mercurio Arboria (Scott Hylands) monotonously incants some new agey propaganda about promoting the further evolution of the human race. By providing the capacity for human beings to achieve pure happiness, Dr. Arboria purports that he will singlehandedly usher in the dawning of a new age of enlightenment. The pure happiness Dr. Arboria intends to make accessible to humans will be created from a recipe of “benign pharmacology, sensory therapy and energy sculpting.” We are then transported to the futuristic present -- the year 1983 -- where we find the film's mute protagonist Elena (Eva Allan) as a heavily sedated teenage prisoner in a prison-like compound known as Arboria. A creepy guy with a hair-helmet and reptilian aura,...
