You know, rich guy wants to chase after the unknown, figures out how to keep the evil characters trapped, and then goes down in a ball of flames after a plot for people to be bait falters. I want a bloody gory Hellraiser! Also, the movie reminded me of 13 Ghosts in how the house was designed to keep the Cenobites out. The very mention of the Clive Barker’s Hellraiser novels or Clive Barker’s books with Pinhead is enough to bring a chilling touch to any conversation. I wanted to see heads being pulled apart, bodies being skinned alive, bubbling masses of flesh developing into a human form, sexual tension, incest, lust, and the deep exploration of humans addicted to gratifying their desires only to end up in hell being ripped apart. Hellraiser series is unquestionably the most well-known and famous work of Barker ever. For me, that is what Hellraiser is supposed to do: go face first into the blood and pain. Yet, I kept hoping for a film that tapped into the horror of what the Cenobites do to their victims. The story was serviceable, as were the characters. Honestly, for me, it was lacking great gore. ![]()
