The movie should have been a straight-out monster movie. None of this bad-80s-hair-kill-you-with-a-hammer-crap. I found the actual plot that it focused on (whatsherface killing people to bring her ex lover to live) LAME. It should have been a good quality haunted house film with some damn scary monsters. Spare me the bad acting and writing. GIVE ME MONSTERS

Fair enough, however The Cenobites aren't typical monsters and their point is far more understandable in the book "hellbound Heart", but their point wasn't to kill but to go along with the theme of pain and pleasure on an extreme level for those who went searching for it. The actual antagonist of the movie was suppose to be Frank and it was suppose to be centered around Frank's escape. It was more suppose to be daunting with what she would do to be brought back together with Frank and what Frank was willing to do to stay alive.
The Cenobites were suppose to be this structured evil and Frank Chaotic evil. the Cenobites almost like deities of sorts who come just to do their job. I think the unfortunate part of the movie was that everyone knew about Pinhead and when they hear about the movie before watching it they suspect more Pinhead.
