★★★★

Since when is Hellraiser about all this crazy sex stuff? Just kidding. This movie is an interesting type of reboot because it doesn’t really seem to be reverent of its source material at all. This is definitely not one of those sequel/reboot/remakes, it totally changes the rules of the universe and doesn’t really seem to be in conversation with the original films at all, save for a couple stings on the soundtrack and one line from Pinhead (you know the one). It also presents a much more straightforward version of the cenobites: instead of blurring the lines that separate pleasure and pain, they’re just kind of regular bad guys. That’s OK though because the movie is pretty good. Jamie Clayton rocks as Pinhead, I hope we get a sequel at some point.
