I refuse to acknowledge any Hellraiser movie after 1-3. This one I'll check out but I don't have high expectations.
Hellraiser on Hulu || Discussion Thread (Out 10/7)
- Thread starter KingsOfKings
- Start date
This was......mid-
but not bad at all (think of it as an alternate universe Hellraiser and it will go over better
it was too long , almost 2 hours, if it was 25 minutes less and this would have been a lot better
Icared nothing for any of the protagonists, i wanted them all to die
it was too dark , all the scenes the blood looked like black ink except at the very end
I really did not like the the changes to the mythology of the box and what happens after you open it.
No quotables ( but i was watching in between meetings so i may need to re -watch )
the Cenobites were the best thing about the movie , but they are not in it nearly enough.
good kills, good fx, great CGI on the box movement
its like they took what they liked out of the first 2 movies and he sprinkled some Hellseeker in it .
Definitely the best Hellraiser since 1988.

This was good, not fantastic or anything but I think it's a great intro/refresh for the Hellraiser series, waaaaaay more approachable than the OG (or any of the OG's really) and they laid out the concept for how.the lament configuration works in an understandable way. Gay brother got done extremely dirty 
Main chick was somehow atrocious looking and sexy at the same time.

I agree that the characters didn't make you root for them.
I actually had to pause the movie to see if it was PG-13 because they kept cutting away before the people died on screen.
Everything time I heard Pinhead speak I couldn't stop think about how her voice sounded like Him from Powerpuff Girls. I don't think that's a bad thing tbh.
The cenobites were cool and I liked the way the architecture/scenes changed. If you watched Night House you'd expect that to be a strong point in this film and it delivered.
The movie is too long but I don't think it's a complete waste of time.
Riley is the dirtiest final girl ever. I bet she doesn't shower much. Her butt looked nice but still
As a fan of the first 2 movies in the series and Hellraiser : Bloodline, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Movie dropped the ball with the recovering drug addict character. They could have made the plot where she was looking for that ultimate high/pleasure/euphoria and the lament configuration was her way to make that possible.
Not earth shattering but a return to form. I don't think they dropped the ball with MC because that ending was kinda about how she ended up choosing a kind of suffering anyway. The way Pinhead kinda phrased it/approached her it felt like they were dapping her up too. Like she choose one of the worst ones (living with guilt and shame for what she wrought). Having her deal with her darkness in this explicit way kinda felt like a call back to 1/2 Kristy where she was trying to get a handle on her teenage/young desires too.
Slick movie.

This was low-to-no heat.
All it did was made me want to re-watch the original because I realized I don't remember shyt.

I really loved the Cenobites, their technology, the new lore behind the Lament Configuration (and rest of the puzzle box shapes if you don't want to give it the old name), the practical effects, and the unsettling soundtrack. Leviathan coming down from the sky was jaw-dropping.
However, there was an exact point where the movie became a dumb slasher when they were trying to escape through the gate and the Cenobites just attack them on foot for some reason instead of invading their minds

My 10 year old son asked “Why is their blood so dark? Do they have diabetes?”I kept thinking to myself, “when I bleed, is the blood ever that dark”
Took me back to when I watched horror flicks with my Pops.

Hell On Earth is criminally underrated, that church scene alone is

Visually stunning. I like da new look of da Cenobites. Although, this was nowhere near as graphic or hard-core as da OG's (1-3). Good lil' watch. Wasn't good nor bad. Atmospheric feel just like Night House.
I hope da HBO Max series is better and explores more of da lore.
