Don't listen to the negative reviews

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This film essentially begins with a young female demon named "Veronica" (Angela Featherstone) who lives underground in Hell but has visions of life on the surface. When her father hears of this he becomes quite furious and almost kills her. Fortunately for her, she manages to escape and with her faithful dog "Hellraiser" finds her way up to the surface. Unfortunately, upon venturing into a nearby city she happens to get struck by a car and is subsequently taken to a hospital. While there she meets a physician by the name of "Dr. Max Barris" (Daniel Markel) who takes pity on her and agrees to take her to his home upon her release the next morning. Veronica, however, has been conditioned since inception to punish those who do evil and upon venturing outside of his apartment she proceeds to do just that. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting movie which apparently tried to mix in some dark comedy with some of the horror aspects but didn't succeed all that well. It also suffered from a low-budget which was particularly obvious with some of the computer graphics. In short, this wasn't necessarily a bad movie by any means but it had its faults and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

I have just finished watching this and I really enjoyed it. A young demon, Veronica, defies her father and leaves hell with her dog, Hellraiser to see the world under the yellow orb with the blue roof. She discovers a world rife with sin and chooses to send those sinners to their reward in hell. Along the way she meets a young doctor in the emergency room and she moves into his flat. He finds himself drawn towards the strange girl and her innocence and certainty. The film did have its problems - some the acting of some peripheral characters was pretty poor. On the other hand some the acting was pretty good. I liked the guys who played the two detectives on the trail of the brutal demonic killer. The guy playing doctor did a fair job too. The best thing about the film was the story with its unique take on the story of the innocent abroad in the modern world, where that innocent is an unforgiving slayer of those who commit sin.

No idea what the previous reviewer was watching but the film looked great with impressive lighting, locations and camera-work, unprecedented for a film of this budget, texture wtf? lol The acting was oddly mixed sometimes very good and you wouldn't even notice you were watching a B movie, other times terrible and definite shades of porno, but an impressive attempt and a surprisingly interesting plot which blurs the moral lines between good and evil. The effects were not over used and were fine for the purpose and not particularly cheesy, and the movie made me laugh in quite a few places which is always good, either intentionally or not. I cant really criticize anything other than maybe the ending maybe felt like the whole thing had run out of steam a little, but this could have been much worse.

Babushka! This movie makes no sense, it's stupid, shallow, and terribly funny! I loved it! ;) Couldn't move my eyes from the screen for a second. But I just can't tell WHAT was it that I loved, it wasn't just the girl, or the boy, or the dog, or one of the 'absolutely stupid scenes'... :PPP I'm really confused now, the Veronica demon-girl has got very pretty eyes -whether they're blue or brown doesn't really matter- (the whole pic is worth seeing just for that) and she has great personality (I had to stand my sister saying "I wish i could behave like that" through the whole pic :PP). Well, reading what i just wrote I think i'd better get some sleep now..but please, WATCH THIS MOVIE, then kick my ass if you don't laugh a lot! ;)
