How could a series get there so quickly is beyond me since it took Jason nine sequels before hand yet I found this space voyage to be entertaining.
The story follows the family line of merchant who constructed the box as a you for a rich aristocrat and watches in horror as he performs dark arts to make a deal with a demon Anqutina to gain great powers. Instead she betrays him to be freed from her prison and travel the world win a consent as get guide. Merchant makes a promise to stop the demon and infuse the box no matter how long it takes.
Boy does it take a while as we visit the family to present and future where Pinhead finally meets his end.
This installment has everything that lacked in part three from showing the true flashback to the box creation, who created it, why and the power behind it
Still it does have flaws that can't be ignored like Antiquita becoming the original demon who never died yet didn't show up till now or her man servant never seems to age and the creation of new cenobites instead of using fan favorites from the last three films.
What this film got right that the others failed was to give the main villain a proper send off using his true weakness instead of a last minute deluxe mechanism or the worn out ploy of the monster not really being gone.
Most fans complained it didn't flow properly or didn't make any sense do to force re-shots yet I had no trouble following along or misunderstand the themes going on.
Like any good film there will always be naysayers who want more. Judge it on your own merits.
