This movie succeeds if you're a fan of Clive Barker's comic book. It follows the mythos quite logically, and adds a good deal of conjecture to the "reality" of the cenobites. As a sequel this film fills a void.

As a film on its own, this movie should be watched. Its engaging story and thought-provoking plot is enough to keep any viewer entertained, not to mention the violence and gore. Not a bad movie or wasted time.

This program is one of the few reasons to watch television. As a scientist from the future, Dr. Sam Beckett travels from time period to time period. In each time period, he "leaps" into the space of someone living there, who in turn is transported to Sam's own time. He then has to figure out, with the help of his best friend Al and his supercomputer named Ziggy, why he is there. It always is some problem he has to fix - preventing a murder, stopping a divorce, or maybe just setting someone on the right track. Once he has completed his task, he leaps again. The real attraction of this show is the implications of how and why he has to do what he does. The show indicates that there is a supernatural force guiding his leaps, and even introduces an "evil leaper" whose task it is to screw things up. Theologically, the show does all kinds of justice to beliefs in most religions. Philosophically, it provides th viewer with one of the most enviable characters ever created - Dr. Beckett does not ever have to question himself, "Why am I here?" He always knows.

This show can still be found on syndication in many places, and I urge anyone reading this to try to catch as many episodes of it as possible.
