A female reporter Amy Klein (Kari Wuhrer) for a London newspaper is sent to Bucharest to investigate an underground suicide cult (the Deaders) who can bring back the dead. She is quickly drawn into their dark world and soon can see no way out other than to join them. The Cult is led by Winter (Paul Rhys). At the address given to her by her editor, Amy finds the corpse of a girl and a puzzle box. In her hotel room, despite being told not to do so by Marla (the corpse), she opens the puzzle box. Hooks appear which try to pull her into the box. Pinhead the Cenobite (Doug Bradley) appears, warning her to not think she is in no danger. Marla tells Amy to meet Joey (Marc Warren) by asking for him on the last train in the Bucharest subway. Marla tells Amy that only she can help them. Joey tries to dissuade her from her quest but Amy doesn't relent. On reaching the "Home" of the cult she witnesses a man being brought back from death. There Winter tries to influence her. Slowly she gets tangled to an extent that she's inches away from her death. But Cenobites appear and tear apart Winter. They accuse him of invading their world. They also try to claim her but instead of giving her soul to them she chooses to kill herself. In the end of the movie the editor Charles (Simon Kunz) is shown to entice another reporter onto presumably another mystery. Also the puzzle box has been shown to be safe and intact despite the explosion which brought down the whole building.

almost gave this a 3......but noting what Xч said about the atmosphere rasied it up one notch. and Winter being another bloodline....they really needed to explain that one a bit more. The story was written before it "turned" into a Hellraiser story....so in that state they had to re-write it to make it Hellraiser.

I have to agree with LeMar on this... They needed to add in more info... I almost did not understand it much. Too bad this is the last movie of Hellraiser I have seen.... I only saw four.
