Regardless what mainstream critics/reviewers are saying this film was a pretty disaster. Pretty because the production value was decent, more so than the plethora of previous sequels to the franchise. However, the acting, plot, storyline, overall horror is lost entirely. They completely changed anything that made Hellraiser what it was, the lore has been completely changed. Gender swapping Pinhead is also pointless, Doug Bradley will and is the only Pinhead. To be honest this is no surprise given Disney/Hollywood can't reboot/imagine anything new and only ruin franchises now. Waste of time don't bother.
It's a shame that studio executives completely disregard fans and the original source material, when ever considering to remake, or reboot a title. It's not shocking either to see Disney is going doing a terrible rabbithole in ruining classic titles. At this stage it's best to simply watch the first two Hellraisers, Hellraise 3 and 4 are moderately decent sequels. Anything beyond this point was a simple cash-grab or purposefully made to retain the title by the studio so it wouldn't expire.
Keep away. 0 / 10.
