another continuity thread....sorry


i know the guys website addresses all the continuity holes in this movie, but some of the stuff on the website is incorrect:

all the stuff that pinhead says in the official hellraiser films, that seem to acknowledge things like god, heaven, another hell - these where just phrases on the part of pinhead. i supposed you could interpret him literally here but its pretty obvious, to me anyway, that it was just a turn of phrase.

also the guy whos film this is says that the hell of the detective in inferno and the guy in hellseeker are not the same as the hell in the first movies - actually they are.
in the scene in hellrasier 2 kirsty walks through a door in the labyrinth and immediately enters what seems like her old house in "reality". for a few moments she honestly believes shes back there, and that everything shes just experienced must be some sort of dream, however in a few seconds the room reverts back to its true form as part of the labyrinth - this is what the detective in inferno is in throughout the film after solving the box, he solved the box and was taken to the labyrinth, only he never actually knows hes in the labyrinth until the end of the film.
same as the guy from hellseeker. in fact, towards the end of hellseeker, if you look at the background in the scene with pinhead, what little you can make out of it, is supposed to be the stone floor and walls of the labyrinth.
both these characters are in the same "thing" that kirsty was in briefly in hellraiser 2, only theirs lasted far longer, and presumably will last a lot longer after the film ends.
i suggest you watch Inferno again with this in mind and things will become a lot clearer. the idea is that the detective is actually IN the labyrinth, he just cant see any of the stone walls or floors, as these are "covered up" by his hallucination-nightmare of his old life.
it is obvious that these "Nightmare-Hallucinations" are just one of many pains the cenobites inflict on their victims.

so in the hellraiser movies at least, there is only one hell. many variations of that hell may exist, in the forms of physical torture, nightmare-hallucination etc...but all these exist WITHIN the labyrinth.

"when your dead, your *beep* dead"

i dont like the idea of putting christian concepts in the hellraiser films, or trying to fit hellraiser into the christian mythos, but i accept what you say that thats why its a fan film, and i wish you luck with it

You Dare Agree With Me?!
