Hellraiser: Hellworld is a 2005 demonic horror film directed by Rick Bota. It is the eighth installment in the original Hellraiser franchise and was released directly to video the same year as it's predecessor, Hellraiser: Deader. Both movies were directed by Bota and filmed back-to-back. The film was produced by Dimension Films and Miramax Films and was released straight to video on September 6th, 2005. Hellraiser: Hellworld stars horror film icon Lance Henriksen as the enigmatic "host" of a party whose guests are registered players on the Hellworld online gaming website.
