Review of Hellraiser (2022) by Hunter_Witch — 07 Oct 2022

While it is a nice reboot, I feel as if the beginning in middle were almost too slow. The middle dragging out the most where there almost felt like no plot until the obvious signs of an ending. The additional lore was nice and felt creative and the callbacks to the original felt well placed and respectful. The twists were not really great as I feel it was unneeded and could've been better without. Additionally, the appearance of the Cenobites were amazing with them reusing the designs of the original series. The Labyrinthine aesthetics were very honest and stuck true to the original to the point nothing really changed but, in my opinion, was a good thing. If it's not broken, don't fix it and it even looked better!

Finally, I think it was overall a decent reboot considering the original and what it had to work with. I'd suggest this movie to a friend or family member, but I personally wouldn't say "You have to see this!" overall I enjoyed myself but had to gawk at the more awkward moments.
