Hellraiser 10: Verdict

Pinhead (Paul T. Taylor) and the Senobit Auditor of the Inquisition of Hell (Gary J. Tunnicliff) talk about how you can change the collection methods for souls, since the latest human technology has made Configurations ( Lemarshan puzzle boxes opening the gates to hell) useless. At this time, three detectives - brothers Sean (Damon Carney) and David (Randy Wayne) Carter, along with Christine Egerton (Alexandra Harris) - are investigating a series of brutal murders committed by the perpetrator, nicknamed "Mentor", who kills the violators, in his opinion, Ten Commandments .

The connection with one of the victims leads detectives to Carl Watkins, the criminal who went missing near the abandoned house number 55 on Ludovico Place. Sean goes to this address, but at the door of the house loses consciousness and, waking up, appears before the inquisition of hell that has settled inside. After interrogating Sean, the messenger of God, angel Jophiel, appears in the form of a blond woman who demands that the Inquisition release him. But in the meantime, Sean is fleeing the residence of the Inquisition, taking with him the puzzle box of Lemarshan. Some time later, Carters burst into an abandoned house, but no one is found there. That same night, Sean is harassed in a dream by the inhabitants of hell, who promise "judgment and redemption" to everyone who has solved the puzzle.

In the morning, the pathologist informs Sean and Egerton that a cell phone, wired into the body of one of the Mentor's victims, recorded the coordinates of the last location using GPS. Thanks to this information, detectives find the Mentor's den. But when they arrive there, Sean suddenly attacks Egerton - it turns out that he is the serial killer Mentor. Meanwhile, David finds out the identity of the killer and also goes to the Mentor's lair. There he is disarmed by Sean, who brought his wife Alison (Reagan Wallace). Furious of his wife’s romance with his brother, Sean makes both of them open the Lemarshan box.

Sean hopes that, having called the senobits, he will be able to offer them Alison and David instead of himself, but he will learn from Pinhead that the exchange will not take place, because Hell wants to get his soul. Together with Pinhead, Senobit-Auditor appears, who informs Sean that he has been found guilty of all his sins. Jophiel intervenes again, demanding to postpone the execution of the punishment, informs the senobits that Sean is part of God's plan, which intends to instill fear in all people on Earth. The indignant Pinhead releases Sean and cruelly kills Iofiila in retaliation. For killing an angel, God turns Pinhead into a mortal and expels him from hell.

Returning to earth, Shawn is killed by Egerton waking up after the attack.

At the end of the film, two Protestant activists in Germany are knocking at the house - and becoming new victims of the inquisition of senobits ...
