Review of Hellraiser (2022) by Randwulph — 08 Oct 2022

Another nonsensical reboot that is inferior to the original(s) in every aspect. Dialogue is forgettable, plot is a jagged mess, most acting is entry level acting school quality, the main characters are forgettable, to list a few negatives.

There are a few moments of gore that are entertaining, and some of the cenobite makeup is above average effort, but they do not incite much fright. The last scene in the movie is, by far, the best, and it is a shame the rest of the movie is not on par with it.

Seems too much effort was spent on appeasing a woke agenda checklist, not much attention on writing, or hiring decent actors. As is, Hellraiser 1 and 2 are still the vastly superior films in the series.

I can only recommend Hellraiser 2022 as a one-time viewing if you are really bored, and desperate for a new horror film to view.
