Supernatural villain Pinhead finds himself on the wrong side of the law in this, the fifth film in the
Hellraiser franchise. Joseph (
Craig Sheffer) is a detective with the L.A.P.D. who one morning discovers he's no longer living in California -- he's been exiled to Hades, and the only way to escape is by solving the mystery of the all-powerful puzzle box. The box is now in the hands of the fearsome demon Pinhead (Doug Bradley), and Joseph finds himself in a life-and-death struggle with the demon for control of the puzzle box. Hellraiser V: Inferno also stars Nicholas Turturro as Tony, Sasha Barrese as Daphne, Noelle Evans as Melanie, and
James Remar. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
