Riley (Odessa Ezion) is a toxic who has been battling drug addiction for months and lives in the home of brother matt (Brandon Flynn). Tired of always being broken, the girl convinced her boyfriend Trevor (Drew Starkey) to make a Theft: By forcing a safe inside a container, the couple take possession of a mysterious item cube of parentage,
Attracted by the curious artifact, Riley becomes aware of the presence moving parts which changes its shape, and after solving a first puzzle breaks a blade which leaves him miraculously safe, but also creates a creepy “Cenobites” monsters, he will find that cube mutation disastrous situation has arisen chain reaction where terrible creatures will always claim more blood and sacrificial victims At the time of “The Last Gift”.
This is not Clive Barker…
In 1987 clive barker directed the original hellraiser, a complete cult film derived from his screenplay attached to one of his stories. Although the same cube with a smaller number of possible geometries the pursuit of ultimate pleasure on the verge of absolute suffering Take a man to meet hellish creatures who literally tear him to pieces. Taking advantage of an amorous relationship with his sister-in-law, he persuades her to become a serial killer: the man tries to start again with a few drops of his girlfriend’s blood to be resurrected in a new body and avoid eternal punishment,

Grand-Guignol lovers’ mouths will be almost dryThose who have dreamed of re-watching the imaginative torture for years will be faced with it prematurely, only in the final bars and with a much higher bloodshed level. The story of the wonderful magic of the cube itself turns out to be scarywhere the blade that suddenly emerges claiming blood if it collides with a cenobite wreaks havoc like a common mortal (and in this case we see the only complete devastation of the victim in the entire film). latent rhythm and excessive length Which extends the story to 121 minutes, undermining much of the second part’s appeal, arguably its best and liveliest due to the presence of the Cenobites. Everything else is boring.
