	Movies - Hellraiser: Inferno

Hellraiser: Inferno (also known as Hellraiser V: Inferno) is the fifth installment in the Hellraiser
series. It was directed by Scott Derrickson and released on DVD Region 1 on October 10, 2000.

Plot

Hellraiser: Inferno is more of a psychological thriller take on the Hellraiser series. The plot is about an intelligent cop that lets greed and corruption completely destroy his life and all of the people in it.

The movie is a morality tale of sorts, depicting the questionable actions of the police detective main character (i.e.: taking drugs, having sex with a prostitute even though he is married, gambling, falsifying evidence, stealing, etc) and their impact upon the other characters in the movie (such as his framing of his partner in order to secure the partner's silence regarding the main character's frequenting the prostitute and his neglect of his family while engaging in the above-mentioned activities, etc).

By the end of the movie, there have been several mysterious murders of the other characters, and the main character has a strange and revealing confrontation with Pinhead.

Other

An interesting characteristic of this movie is the selective use of the gore factor. Many scenes are pull away shots where the moment of violence is only suggested, and not shown. In fact, the murder of the main character's mother is not shown at all, and merely suggested by horrible screams that gurgle as something awful is done (which we are left to speculate about the details of) and a huge amount of blood flowing under a locked door.
