Review of Hellraiser (2022) by Dabbler — 07 Oct 2022
This was better than I expected considering how modern adaptations are terrible.
Where it works is the sense of dread as the world contorts to merge hell on earth giving rise to some really interesting film moments like in the Van.
Where it fails is the Cenobites close up, they are not as good as the original cenobites, Pinhead in particular has no where near the presence of the original Pinhead... They come off more like custodians of hell rather than Demons. They are just doing their job etc but from distance they remind you of the old Cenobites and bring back the dread.
