I an a big time Hellraiser fan. Part 1 is one of my all time favorite horror films, part 2 is very cool and creepy, and 3 is just flat out fun. I wasn't too big on Bloodline (it was too short and felt rushed), but I will hold off judgment until I can see the complete 'uncut' version that Kevin Yeager intended us to see. Inferno was completely different in tone and storytelling, and I liked it for going in a new direction and keeping Pinhead in the background (like in the original). Hellseeker however, this ticked me off big time.

Not only was I excited to see Ashley Lawrence (I had such a crush on her as a teenager) back as Kirsty, but I was expecting something along the lines of part 2 when I heard the sub-title. 'Hellseeker' reminded me of Channard's character from 'Hellbound' and I was anxious to see this flick.

Not the case! This is one of the most confusing, boring and badly written horror films (and I though Valentine was bad) I've ever seen. Nothing makes sense, it seems like random scenes from other films cut together, there is no narrative flow at all and Ashley Lawrence is totally underused! What a waste! Plus the lead actor couldn't act his way out of a paper bag! The guy has hooks planted in his face and is spewing blood... emote dammit! He totally ruined this film for me.

It's only saving grace is the scene between Kirsty and Pinhead... reminds me of old times (but in the deleted scenes on the DVD there is more to the scene that connected this film to the others in the series) and a strange ending that I liked (and shows a different side of Kirsty's character). Other than that... avoid it at all costs! A total snoozefest.

I am a big fan of the TV show, especially the skits where they beat on Bam's old man and skateboard bails. This movie didn't disappoint. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe a few times. It's that funny! Check it out if you're a fan or are just looking for a hilarious good time... just beware of the shlong shots... they are a big gratuitous.

I heard my parents talking about this TV movie that they felt was a little too violent and scary to have been shown on national TV. According to them, it would have been better for cable. That TV movie was 'Something is Out There'. They had taped it so they could watch some dumb sitcom instead. I felt a nagging urge to see what it was they were talking about.

Man were they ever right. Not only was it really gory and freaky to boot, but it was one of the coolest TV films I've ever seen. You've got the mysterious killer mutilating NY residents, the hot chick who claims to be from from outer space, the drunk/loser detective, and one of the nastiest villains to ever grace the small screen.

#1, I was taken for a loop. I thought the killer was jsut an ordinary psycho who loved to eviscerate joggers... but when it turns out to be an psychopathic alien fugitive that can disguise itself as anyone it wants, I was put into a mild state of shock.

#2, For a TV film, the FX are awesome (for the time period). This was before the computer FX revolution, so they look 'real'. The alien villain is actually a very sweet looking puppet that is frighteningly insectiod-like.

#3, The characters are fleshed out completely making the viewer actually care about them. The acting is impressive as well (especially the luscious

Maryam d'Abo).

#4, Man is this thing sick. I have to give credit to the director, he's got balls. People get ripped apart from the inside out by the alien constantly in this flick. Not only that, but we get some nasty views of the alien's early victims that it was studying, plus some gross after the fact corpses.

In the end, this is probably one of my favorite TV movies... or movies period. Where is this on DVD dammit! It was actually turned into a short lived television series featuring the same characters and actors, but the cool alien killer was nowhere to be found, thus making it pretty worthless.

If it's ever shown on TV again, watch it... you won't regret it!
