My only experience with the franchise was half-watching the original once a couple years back, but I liked the new Hellraiser.

The new Hellraiser is still on my mind a bit.

There was a scene with, I think, the Priestess/Pinhead: "What do you pray for? Salvation? One harmonious note without end? There is no music in that."

I thought that was a pretty cool line, even if the Cenobites are twisted ****ers.

So I spent the last couple days watching Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2: Hellbound.

I'd have to say, I think they were both enjoyable, but I did not like how anticlimactic the second one was when Kirsty (or whatever) was able to convince the Cenobites that they were people once. That felt really rushed and missed the mark, IMO.

Generally speaking, the Cenobites could have been more menacing. In both originals, they could be reasoned with and that took some of the bite out of the scare factor for them.

I watched Hellraiser 2022 last night.

I felt they kept true to the franchise which I respect but unfortunately for me that means kind of boring. Too much dumb story and not enough Cenobites ****ing shit up. The Cenobites are super cool albeit maybe a little too polished in this, but it just plodded along and under delivered imo.

Full transparency, Hellraiser is pretty low on my totem of horror. I admittedly lean much more stalk and slash than mystic horror so YMMV.

Don't bother.

Damnit, looked so good on the trailer. Thanks for saving me a couple hours.

The box
You opened it
We dilated

I thought the new Hellraiser movie was pretty boring to be honest. The first hour is just them bumbling around accidentally stabbing people with the box. You don't really even see the cenobites for the first half of the movie, and when they do show, it never really picks up. Also, why does pinhead have a lisp?

I was disappointed

Depraved horror movie causes viewers to vomit, faint in the theater

Having just watched the original, that's par for the course really. The Cenobites had very little screen time in the original.

Got out of Halloween Ends a little while ago….I have no idea what in the **** I watched.

*sigh* Jesus Christ.

I assume you mightve been let down,but not sure haha.I'm a big Halloween fan,but i kinda hope its the last movie for a while.I'm actually surprised they got JLC to do these last movies,i would imagine she won't do anymore.But of course i havent seen the new one yet.

Pure old school horror cheese!

7/10

Notice pinhead looks a lot like the COVID 19 virus?

I just watched this last night.

wow. A bit low budget and some sketchy acting in some places, but the villain is top-notch, and the blood, gore, etc is fantastic.

Watched "The taking of Deborah Logan" last night. Enjoyed it.
