Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth is a 1992 film directed by Anthony Hickox. It is the third film in the Hellraiser
series.

Plot

Hell is about to be unleashed again. After the confrontation in Hellbound, the Cenobite Pinhead is trapped, along with the puzzle box, amongst the writhing figures and distorted faces etched into the surface of an intricately carved pillar. The pillar is bought by the rich and spoiled J.P. Monroe (Kevin Bernhardt), owner of a famous club called The Boiler Room.

An ambitious young television reporter, Joey Summerskill (Terry Farrell), slowly begins to learn about Pinhead and the mysterious puzzle box. She is introduced to the pain the box can bring when she views a teenage club-goer being ripped apart by the box's chains in a hospital emergency room. She tracks the box and a young woman named Terri (Paula Marshall) to The Boiler Room, from which Terri and her boyfriend had stolen the puzzle box.

Through video tape interviews with Kirsty Cotton recovered from the Channard Institute, Joey and Terri learn about the demonic Cenobites and the power of the Lament Configuration, the only means of sending Pinhead back into the Outer Darkness. J.P., meanwhile, feeds Pinhead blood from club members so he can be freed from the pillar. Once free, Pinhead is more dangerous than ever before, since he has been separated from his human self - a World War I British Army officer named Elliot Spenser - and thus has dropped what little morality and conscience he had left. Pinhead seeks to destroy the puzzle box so he need never return to Hell again. As time runs short, Joey must think of a plan to bring Pinhead and his newly-created Cenobites back to the realm of Pinhead's human self (who sacrifices himself to reunite with Pinhead and thus save the world), or else doom the mortal world to an eternity of pain and suffering.

The film introduces a few new Cenobites and has little in common with the first two Hellraiser films, except for a cameo by Ashley Laurence. Peter Atkins plays both Rick the Barman and his Cenobite alter ego Barbie.

Soundtrack

Three songs were recorded by Motörhead for the film's soundtrack - "Hellraiser, "Hell on Earth" and (for the end credits) "Born To Raise Hell".
