New hellraiser

Just finished watching it. Original was the one of only two films I ever stopped on VHS as a kid. Always been a huge fan of the franchise and noticed the company who had the licence to it put out a series of awful films to retain it.

Now Hulu have put out a new take, closer in some ways to the original book/source material from Clive Barker, and it thankfully had a budget bigger than 500$ (which the last few seemed to have)

Wasn't amazing but wasn't terrible....just didn't have much gore which kinda surprised me. Some interesting takes. New pinhead I was massively sceptical about but actually one of the films strongest aspects I think.

Any one else seen.it or looking forward to it?

Clive Barker - The Great and Secret Show is a fantastic read.

Everville is also fantastic. Stuck with me as I read it at far too young of an age but the imagery it created stuck with me for years before I revisited and found that I loved it.

Can’t really go wrong with most Clive Barker imo.

Imajica is incredible. Epic journey

Modern reboots usually butcher 80s classic horror by adding too many modern layers or giving it a modern twist, just for the sake of it.

Wasn't a great film but the cenobites were true to Clive original material, that hellraiser was originally based on. It's strange, I think I was a bit put off by how it had that 80s feel with the story but was shot like a modern horror. Wasn't polished enough to be great but didn't seem like a budget film either. Quite long at 2 hours and not as dark as It should have been. Story could have been way better and more fluid if they cut it down.

New pinhead is what stands out. If u loved the original it's worth seeing just for that.

Reimagining. No Frank scene.

It was okay. Decent even. Just…too clean for me. Not dark or dirty feeling enough. It needs to feel wrong. To feel evil and it never really does. It’s too modern I guess.

But at least the one with sunglasses isn’t a thing anymore
