They made another Hellraiser movie.
This one is a real movie though, one that is worth watching and discussing. I know, I find it difficult to believe too.

I cannot recommend enough doing an episode sometime on TerrorVision - not only is it insane, funny and weird, but it has THE WETTEST puppet monster you've ever seen.

I really wanted to like this Hellraiser remake - I lost my mind that they incorporated in the light through the walls and the rolling ink clouds from the 80s that I'm a super sucker for - but I ended up feeling the same way. They movie wouldn't commit to any given idea, so it was a lot of mediocre medium.

I watched this movie over the course of three or so sittings, which probably helped the length issues. I came away feeling like it was fine, but breaking up my viewing had probably hurt the experience so maybe it was better than I thought. Sounds like if I had just powered through in one go, I would’ve come away feeling it was worse.

Agreed! I just watched it recently myself, knowing only that the VHS cover was on the rental shelves for so many years.

I had a good time watching this movie, but I have to agree that it was too long, and I kind of hated the characters. I was very excited when I saw the chatterer, though. Whenever anyone complains about pinhead being a woman in this one, I just decide to be smug in the knowledge that this character is explicitly described as having a "girl's voice" in the original novella. Fake Clive Barker fans. 🙄

I love Clive Barker, I've read most of his stuff but Scarlett Gospels is so bad I'm convinced he didn't even write it :P Also I enjoyed the new movie, saw it twice in fact but I admit it's mostly due to it being a pretty decent Hellraiser movie

Female pinhead? Not woke. Watching people complain and argue continuously without relief or any sort of growth or resolution and recognizing that *that itself* is the new extreme of torture? Dude, WAF.

Hellraiser 2022 was alright. The original film is one of my favorite horror movies and none of the sequels ever captured the spirit of the original again. In fact 3-onwards inexplicably took their cues from the atrocious Hellraiser 2, which I watched again recently and wow it's even worse than I remembered.

It was also comical how many times the protagonist avoided the puzzle box's incredibly ineffectual blade trap. Why have one itty bitty blade pop out like that? That doesn't seem terribly efficient.

To be fair, the start of Hellraiser 3 when Pinhead is in the pillar feels legit and is some of my favorite moments of the franchise - the problem is the rest of the movie promptly spikes it directly into the trash.
