ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

In this fourth "Hellraiser," a man must atone for
the error of his ancestor.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A naked, shackled man is lying on a bed while a naked woman
lays over him and kisses his body up and down (seen briefly and from a distance so not
much is evident. The only nudity is his chest and the sides of her breasts). One sex scene
during which we clearly see a woman's breasts and the top of her buttocks.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A few explosions (flesh explodes a couple of times).
Deformed demons, a woman is strangled, an autopsy with an arm being carved and a chest and
abdomen opened up and a woman is skinned. People with blood on their faces, bodies and
hands. A man with a bloody body and torn mouth, hooks fly into people and tug at their
bleeding bodies as they scream -- a man's face is torn off by hooks. A woman cuts a man's
face many times and then digs into his cheek as he screams. Beating hearts are pulled out
of people's bodies. Two bloody decapitations.
PROFANITY 5 - About 5 F-words, a handful of scatological references, a few
mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Demons, heaven and hell, technology, ancestry, the future.
MESSAGE - Hell is real and we must guard against it.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
