The first 2 are really great. The rest of the series is wildly uneven, a couple of them weren't even originally Hellraiser, but executives decided to throw Pinhead in.

The 9th movie drops that pretense & was made just so the studio could keep the rights to the series. I watched all 8 of them a couple of years ago around Halloween, I could rate the whole series if you want.

do so

Two is great, I liked it even more than the original. The rest are a very mixed bag, some good parts here & there but mostly not worth it.

3 is decent but uneven.
4 has an interesting concept and the first part is pretty cool but most of it sucks.
5 is absolutely terrible.
6 is pretty good-- Dean Winters is great.
7 is cheesy but kinda enjoyable.
8 is even more cheesy but I love Lance Henriksen and it was just ridiculous enough to be kinda fun.
9 & beyond don't count at all as they are only made to keep the rights to the franchise.
