Twist Ending

comment
Twist Ending: The second Pinhead is Steven, the skin-stealing trick hasn't fooled Pinhead at all, and Niko's bargaining chip is worthless.

Deal with the Devil
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: Played with: Niko tries to make a deal with Pinhead like Kirsty did, but Pinhead takes one look at the person he wants to trade for himself and realizes she's the kind of person who will open the box of her own accord one day, thus making her worthless as a trade.

Little "No"
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_2d92c43c
comment
Little "No": Pinhead sure likes to overuse this trope for some reason, which is something that Phelous found amusing in his review of this film.

Here We Go Again!
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_6edc54d5
comment
Here We Go Again!: The way Emma contemplates the box at the very end after she's become the Final Girl and the Cenobites have left suggests that Pinhead's assessment of her is right on the money; despite knowing the consequences, she will indeed open the box of her own free will to escape her severe dissatisfaction with everything a normal life can offer.

Brother–Sister Incest
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_771f6307
comment
Brother–Sister Incest: Steven and Emma start kissing on his bed until she starts having disturbing flashes. Subverted; it later turns out to be her missing boyfriend Niko wearing her brother's skin. But she didn't know that, and still willingly made out with what she thought was her brother, which he calls her out on. This hints towards what Pinhead later says about Emma having a seed of twisted desires within her.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Just before Pinhead drags Niko away, Ross shoots him, saying that he has more of a claim to Niko's life than anyone. Niko thanks him with his last breath, as he's now spared an eternity with the Cenobites. Pinhead, annoyed, promptly explains to Ross that the suffering Niko would've endured is beyond what vengeance would call for, and calls him out for having acted purely out of a selfish need to be the instrument of vengeance himself. To satiate their appetite and claim their debt of flesh, they take his wife as a replacement for Niko. Oh, and Ross is slowly dying of blood loss, so his last moments alive are with the knowledge that he condemned his wife to a Fate Worse than Death.

That Man Is Dead
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_87ede6fc
comment
That Man Is Dead: Explained by Pinhead about Steven at the end of the film, when he appears in front of everyone in his Cenobite form. It is further affirmed by Steven not hesitating to mutilate Niko's mother and not sparing his mother, despite remembering his blood relation to her.

Foreshadowing
 Hellraiser: Revelations / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: When Steven first shows up out of nowhere after being missing for so long, he appears to be completely shellshocked because of whatever's happened to him and his dialog is very similar to the dialog Frank had with Julie when he first resurrected. It's a hint that "Steven" is actually the character who takes Frank's place in the plot, wearing Steven's skin. Emma making out with her brother (even though it turns out not to be her brother later on) hints at what Pinhead's opinion of her will be.

Karma Houdini: See Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, below. By killing Niko, Ross ensues that he won’t suffer eternally at the hands of the Cenobites. What was meant as Revenge Before Reason accidentally becomes a Mercy Kill.

The Cenobites are again pure Sense Freaks like in the the first two films, without the Motive Decay of the later ones.

Irony: The flashbacks to Niko and Steven's trip make it clear that Niko is the insatiable hedonist who bullies an increasingly disturbed Steven into going along with whatever he does. In the end, it turns out Steven is far more receptive to the Cenobites than Niko.
