Hellraiser

Just saw this, don't really know what to think about it. It could go really good, or really bad.

Thanks for posting this!!
I have never seen the entire series this Halloween season I promised myself I would watch every one of them an this might be a good incentive for me with a new movie releasing this October.

This is the franchise that had the most potential...and then it was completely squandered.

Such a travesty what happened to it.

I've only watched the first three...and the original is the only one worth watching at this point. The 2nd was ok but it has issues.

The wife and I watched it. It was slow in parts, but overall, I enjoyed it.

It's definitely not the worst movie in the franchise but it didn't really do anything for me. I don't think they used the new Pinhead nearly enough.

I thought the same thing. When you think of Hellraiser, Pinhead is the first character you think of. Pinhead should have been used a lot more than she was. Overall, the appearance of Pinhead and all the cenobites was impressive.

I never rated the Hellraiser films when I was younger but in recent years I've ended up watching them all. Albeit in a really stupid order. And now I'm kind of a fan.

Weirdly I really liked the one set in space. It speaks to the Jason X fan in me I guess.

As for Hellraiser (2022). It's a mixed bag. I hated the main character, the Cenobytes looked rubbish but I appreciated the ending a lot. It felt like it added something to the overall lore.

I've never watched much of these, since I really didn't know what to make of the plot. I think I'll be skipping this.

I actually really enjoyed the remake!!! My favorite Hellraiser film in the series is actually part 3 but i still haven’t watched all of them I watched up to inferno…..

Tried to watch it a few days ago. Turned it off.

For starters, Pinhead isn't trans. Not only that, they're now trying to retcon this as Barker's original vision of the character. No thanks. The Hellbound Heart or Hellraiser isn't open to interpretation on the issue.

Oh well.

I've never been sure the movie can properly be told on film.

From the novelization Pinhead is basically genderless he's described as both a Feminine and Masculine it's alot more complex in the novels lol.
