“It is not hands that summon us. It is desire.” Bloody, crazy, and more fetish than ever. While not a good movie by any means. The film is a mess, and it got to a point where I had no idea what was going on. Scenes just happen where characters do stuff that you have no choice but to accept.

Storyline here is Julia Cotton , daughter of now deceased Larry Cotton and only survivor of the Hellraiser 1 has been brought to an mental hospital forced to be there after everyone who heard her story of the events surrounding part 1 in the series simply deemed her as insane. Their is one doctor however Dr. Phillip Channard (Kenneth Cranham) who believes everyword of her story only doesnt let her know this as he has been on his own heavy …
