 
It's the 22nd century
and a chained up scientist named Dr.
Merchant (Bruce Ramsey) who is in a space
station attempts to figure out the
Cenobites puzzle box by using his own in
order to close the gates of hell and
explains to a lady there named Rimmer
(Christine Harnos) why he is doing this
as a toymaker from the 18th century named
Phillip
L'Merchant
created a puzzle box that opens the gates
of hell and an evil greedy magician named
L'Isle
(Mickey Cottrel) used
it to do satanic sacrifice on a woman by
having her reborn into a beautiful demon
named Angelique (Valentina Vargas) the
daughter of Leviathan the lord of
Hell's Labyrinth.
All through the generations Angelique
followed that family vein and the
L'Merchant family kept the puzzle box but
tried to create the Elysium Configuration
- a box that would destroy the Lament
Configuration but in 1996 a man named
Phillip L'Merchant almost gave in to
Angelique's temptation for the box but
the master Cenobite Pinhead (Doug
Bradley) however is unhappy that the
gateway to hell will be destroyed and
threatens his family their lives.
So after the Doctor explains this to
Rimmer he must do his duty in order to
destroy the Cenobites for good as they
are brought to the station by the puzzle
box.
This was so cool
on how the Cenobite clan first started
however, the plot was rushed and it was
hard to understand at times.
We all know how Pinhead came to be and
now it's nice to know how the puzzle box
was invented.
The film almost looked like a horror
anthology showing the generations of the
L'Merchant family.
The acting is well
performed but nopt as good as the
previous films. However, actress Valentina
Vargas is terrific as an evil
seductress demon as she shows a nice
smooth voice but sounds great when she
cackles and terrific expressions too.
Lead actor Bruce Ramsey pulls
his work off well with his 3 different
roles he plays in the film as the
ancestral family members.
There is a dream
sex sequence performed by lusty actress Valentina
Vargas as her breasts are revealed
A womans flesh is
torn off
A corpse's insides are revealed
A woman has gruseome stitches
Hearts are torn out
A man's face is sliced.
Two dipstick twin officers have their
flesh mended together
Phillips's head is sliced off (Spoiler
warning)
A face by a soldier in a space station is
torn off
Another soldier has his head torn off
Flesh is stripped apart a mans face
A cenobite dog explodes
The three directors from
this film seems to do okay and show a
great set of the 18th century scerne's
but of course these directors directed
each new generation of this film as my
guess the one who directed the 18th
century piece was Alan Smithee.
This will be the first time you will see Doug
Bradley's character as Pinhead
holding a pigeon.
There's great effects of the outerspace
sequences.
Daniel Licht shows
classical composing but it's not as
strong as the first three films.
Pinhead: Young... unformed... oh,
what appetites I could teach him.
Bobbi Merchant: Just give him to
me, please!
Pinhead: Aha ha, oh, you suffer
beautifully. But I am here for business,
not pleasure.
Bobbi Merchant: Just tell me what
you want!
Pinhead: Oh, I want bait... live
bait...
John Merchant: For
God's sake!
Pinhead: Do I look like someone
who cares about what God thinks?
Bobbi Merchant: [to
Pinhead] You go play with your dog,
you bastard!
