Much better then what everyone says

I watched the whole Hellraiser series in a week. I had never seen one before but after seeing the first one i decided to watch the whole series. The first one i just thought was bad but in a funny way. The second was much better. The third was good but not great and then i got to the fourth. All i heard was negative things so i expected crap especially since it was said that it was Pinhead in space. THis movie is not crap! Its actually really good. It might be better then the second one. Good plot. Cool deaths scenes. Good movie.
