This film essentially begins with a young female demon named "Veronica" (Angela Featherstone) who lives underground in Hell but has visions of life on the surface. When her father hears of this he becomes quite furious and almost kills her. Fortunately for her, she manages to escape and with her faithful dog "Hellraiser" finds her way up to the surface. Unfortunately, upon venturing into a nearby city she happens to get struck by a car and is subsequently taken to a hospital. While there she meets a physician by the name of "Dr. Max Barris" (Daniel Markel) who takes pity on her and agrees to take her to his home upon her release the next morning. Veronica, however, has been conditioned since inception to punish those who do evil and upon venturing outside of his apartment she proceeds to do just that. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting movie which apparently tried to mix in some dark comedy with some of the horror aspects but didn't succeed all that well. It also suffered from a low-budget which was particularly obvious with some of the computer graphics. In short, this wasn't necessarily a bad movie by any means but it had its faults and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
