from the very beginning, this series sucks ass and was never good.
The only redeeeming quality is the character design, my advice is to never watch any of it, just look at still pictures and make up your own headcannon about the story.
I literally never watched a single HR movie. Started the first one from 1982 or something, watched it for 45 minutes maybe over a course of 3 days, got distracted and never finished it. It was boring as frick.

what is this called? Cinemaphile syndrome?
I told my wife I didn't want to watch it because it's a nightmarish troony freak and looks like tortureslop and she said yeah it makes sense because it's a literal demon obsessed with degeneracy
kek wife sounds based. Has there ever been a modern reboot of a classic franchise that wasn't shit? Or at least disappointing compared to the original?

Hellraiser 2022, I can't understand how anyone can say the original was better when the actors were extremely bad, the characters made no sense, the plot had weird tangents and how little it has in lore.
Funny enough, that's one of the few sex scenes that works in movies. It's interupted almost instantly and shows the dynamic between the two characters. On a second watch, you can also see the boyfriend being manipulative in that scene while you think he's just being enthusiastic on a first watch.
The movie was a lot better than I expected (still bad just not the worst thing I have ever seen) but none of the Cenobites were very interesting or impressive and spent most of the time just lurking outside the mansion like video game enemies waiting for you to enter their AI radius. troonyhead was perfectly acceptable, nothing more.
I don't know what it is with Hellraiser but the concept is great but the films never live up to it. Not even the first one for me. I think it's better in comic form.
I dislike the idea they introduced in the later movies of characters being instantly turned into Cenobites. I feel like being as fricked up as they are in this movie should take centuries or millennia of gradual self-mutilation
The whole concept that the cenobites are regular humans that got transformed was established by hellraiser 2, and ruined the aeons cosmic sensory explorer demon entities that the first one implied them to be.
>being able to mark Cenobites as sacrifices for the cube technically works for the plot but comes out of nowhere and is hard to swallow >having the cenobites kill their victims also technically works for the story (it's about choosing whether or not it's worth it to revive him) but gets rid of the main thing that makes them scary in the first place >actual fans of the series will also just not be expecting the victims to die, so when they hear the first reference to it like halfway through the movie it's just confusing >unlikeable, deeply flawed protagonist runs the risk of too many people in the audience checking out and deciding they don't care about her (I thought it was fine, but that's just what happens with protags like this)
Homestly kind of dug this movie all things considered. Doubling down on the "trapped prey" visual motif with all the geometric spaces was cool. Same with the special fx when the girl gets yoinked to hell while she's still in the back of the van and that altered state effect when characters get stabbed by the cube.
boobs too small, they need to be bigger
mommy
Also, there should be pins in the boobs.
Just chains on the nipples (which should be showing)
Is that a man?
When did you realize Clive Barker is a homosexual hack?

Clive Barker was always a homosexual. But his books are pretty gud. The movies not so much...
Yeah that one where pinhead had a dragonball fight with Lucifer after raping a blind black granny was pretty great.... Oh wait no, no it wasn't...
i love Fever Ray. her Stranger Than Kindness cover is perfection.
her wiener is too small
>post only 5 words long
>at least 3 contentious points
That's efficient.
I prefer the BDSM leather outfits instead of the weird flayed regal skin look
mango lookin ass
breasts or gtfo

Close. It’s actually called Down syndrome.
Its c**t probably has pins.
and it's yet another needless shitty "reboot".
No gory torture scenes
The film ends with the guy being turned into a Cenobite, flesh teared, nails inserted.
Also the whole sensation machine which went through his spine and randomly pulled at nerves is a great concept and visual.

Halloween certainly tried, but it didn't hit all the marks and besides that shit's been rebooted like 3 different times now
EVIL DIES TONIGHT
Rob Zombie at least had a vision, imperfect though it was. Lot of these remakes are about as generic as it comes.

never finished the new one, got to some sex scene early on and just lost interest, turned it off and never started it back up

>wife smarter than you
It's over.
Shes right
She got the snip.
it was alright, i guess. troony pinhead has nothing on the original pinhead though.

Second was the best

no kissing?
>flaw
bald femcel.
Ironically the troony pinhead was less of a problem than the muttified lead actress.

That's a man
Pinhead is supposed to be more sexual
