Diary entries forHellraiser
Hellraiser
Took a while to get there (definitely shouldn't have been 1hr50), but yep, that is both 1) at least the third-best Hellraiser film, and 2) what I expected and wanted out of the The Night House director making a Hellraiser film, certainly delivering in the third act. Also felt almost like a Thirteen Ghosts sequel!
Hellraiser
Gonna' have to echo the general sore points about the sex-less/kink-less aspects of Cenobite this-or-that, but overall it was pretty neat. Don't mind the new lore stuff, we'll always have our original insatiable Frank & Friends to fall back on.
Hellraiser
i liked this better than the original, which is not surprising since i didn't like the original that much in the first place
Hellraiser
watching all of these is worse than all of the pain they suffer combined

Hellraiser
Unfortunately, the best scenes are any with the cenobites; everything else in between is mediocre at best. The final act is splendidly superb though, which elevates this rating up a notch (that and the practical effects). Overall, itās a solid reboot that checks all the right boxes.
Hellraiser
Really cannot be overstated how much I love the cenobite designs here. Itās disappointing that we likely will not be revisiting this universe. 2022 Ranked (https://boxd.it/fSyMM)
Hellraiser
Lots of thoughts, but the one most easy to adequately distill: these cenobites are amazing. 2022 Ranked (https://boxd.it/fSyMM) HellRanker (https://boxd.it/dOpPc)
Hellraiser
Even though I enjoyed it and am willing to watch it again, I feel it doesn't have enough body horror or was toned down. That's honestly the only negative(?) thing I could say about this version of Hellraiser.
Hellraiser
i regretfully say that i do not like it
