Review of Hellraiser (2022) by Jimmyvoorhees — 16 Oct 2022
Felt like more a sequel to the original than any of the other "sequels" actually did. and the casting was actually well done. A cenobite, played by a trans person actually makes sense to the lore, so people really shouldn't score low for that.
The story could have been better, but I'm hopeful a sequel may dive more into the cenobite lore, and universe.
The gore scenes were toned WAY WAY too far down. I know this is essentially a Disney flick, but this is Hellraiser. with today's special effects, I was very let down with how softcore the gore was, not that I expected gore porn, but this isn't even on the level with other slasher/horror productions of the current era.
Step up the actual horror and gore, and deeper writing and you'll have something lasting.
