*spoiler* comments on the ending(s)

Didn't you think Henry Cavill (Mike) was hot? Do you have the dvd? Can you post clips of him? Do you know someone who can help us (Ashlee, Rox, Angelina and me)?

Some of you people are so ignorant. No ones even responded to the topic.

Now...I dont normally post on here...but whatever.

I really...love...this movie. Its much much better than Hellseeker. But that isnt the point.

The last ending was absolutely rediculous. It made NO sense, and leaves a bad last impression of the movie. It was ok showing him die (although I would have prefered if that wasnt included).

I think that this movie was really well thought out. Having them drugged, and having all the cenobites just in their imagination was great. This movie (And Inferno) are highly underrated.

Well, you've pretty much written down, word for word, what I think about the endings.

I mean, by the time the kids started getting killed I was hating the movie.. I don't have any fun watching those teen-slasher (SAW, Hostel, and whatnot) movies, as they're always basically the same (lame) thing.

Then when the truth about the drugging and burying was exposed (it was hinted before, as we saw some shots of the characters looking out of the breathing pipes, tho it made no sense at the time), it have the movie at least a little bit of a redeeming quality.

For some reason the writer didn't want to give it a "sad ending", so the two silly teens were rescued.. I thought "well, so that's the end.. a really bad movie, but at least it's not that bad an ending..". Only at this point it was not, after all, a hellraiser movie, as it seemed to happen in a world where the HR mythos is just a horror story.

Then there was the host's death scene. So now it WAS a hellraiser movie.. the worst one of the all, what with the boring teen-slashing, but I guess they had to justify the title somehow.

And the actual, last, ending, was just lame.

yep, the driving ending makes no sense whatsoever

Is this it?

The only thing that makes less sense than the silly ghost-in-the-backseat ending is the fact that these two characters suddenly fall completely in love with one another and decide to strike out in some attempt to start a new life together.

That just comes completely out of nowhere. It's like the dolts writing the script just know that other films have ended this way, so they shoehorn it into the plot without attempting to actually develop the characters even slightly in order to accommodate this sudden major character change.

Having just rewatched "Hellworld" (it's my favorite of the direct-to-video sequels, and I sometimes feel like one of the only people to really like it), I interpreted the ending as meaning that the surviving couple were still dying and buried alive, as the hallucination implies. Maybe that's obvious to everybody. I thought it was an interesting editing choice to show Lance Henriksen killed by the Cenobites and then show him (or an illusion/memory of him) still around, haunting the survivors by revealing the falseness of their happy ending.
