Contrary to what everyone else thinks about this film, it was pretty good. Yeah it had its moments, like when the robot was opening the box and the scenes were the marines were firing their weapons, but it wasn't that bad. The plot of this film starts in 2127, and then rolls back to the years 1996 and the 18th century.
The last descendant of the Merchant family, Dr. Paul Merchant (Bruce Ramsay), is trying to build a more efficient box so that the demons that Duc de L'Isle (Mickey Cottrell) brought up after toymaker Phillip L'Merchant makes a toy box. The first demon that comes out is Angelique (Valentina Vargas).
First thing, it's 18th century, they didn't see demons as the guys that walked around in leather. The saw demons as the guys with horns and large canines, and most descriptions of them even have long sharp claws. Okay so we visit 1996 where one of Merchant's descendent's has just finished a building with designs of the box everywhere. Soon John Merchant (Bruce Ramsay), his wife Bobbi (Kim Myers) and their son Jack (Courtland Mead) meet Pinhead (Doug Bradley of course) and Angelique.
I'm not going to give away the ending, but I will say that Steven Yagher (Alan Smithee) directed this fine. Even though the studio stepped in and re-wrote a few scenes and stuff the film was okay. It doesn't stand up to the original and first two sequels but it is a pretty good film in this franchise.
