Was the 2022 remake any good? I don't have a problem with Pinhead being portrayed by a trans actress. For what I know he is androgynous in the books

It was actually surprisingly uninteresting.
I dont know, I didnt watch it. Probably not though.
No. It was written by David S. Goyer so it was really dumb and overly literal. The movie operates by videogame rules and the themes of the original are completely absent.
What themes were in the original? Gay sex is bad? lmao
Instead of people being tempted into hell by their own desires it's just whoever gets poked with the spiky box. It even gets used on a cenobite at one point and the other cenobites tear them apart because that's the rules I guess.
It's alright. They really needed to get more creative with the gore
creepy statement from a creep
Why do you even watch these kinds of movies
story, the visual artistry on display, the overall atmosphere as a whole as a result of said visual artistry together with the music, lighting, camera work, pacing. theres more to it than gore, certainly, these aren't SAW movies.
No, not really. Good makeup and effects, but not good enough to recommend it
It wasn't good and neither were any of the other sequels.
Just watch the first three movies only, the rest suck.
They made a very bizarre choice to have the box prick people with a hidden needle and draw the cenobite attention that way, rather than being desire drawing them.
I think the intention was to make them mimic the behavior of wasps
I thought the visuals were cool and the gore was done well, it was pretty brutal and a lot better than any of the other ten or so straight to vhs sequels that came before
It's really not that hard to be better than the vast majority of the sequels beyond the second film. Although I do have a soft spot for Inferno as it had some interesting ideas even if the execution was lacking.
It's the best in the series and makes the cenobite lore extremely interesting. That cenobite machine inserted into Voight is just so fricking horrifying and I've never felt the same level of dread while watching a movie than watching characters getting pricked by the box in this
The only cringe part was the gay brother but they didn't really push anything too obnoxious and the troony who played pinhead was surprisingly good.
Who better to play a mutilation fetish demon than a troony?
The Cenobites cheating seemed kinda dumb and pointless. Why have the 'rules' in the first place then?
Other than that it's pretty good for what it is.
It's good but I still think they should have kept the leather
I didn't like it, too clean. No sense of that oppressive hellish vibe of some of the originals. Also the characters being able to physically fight off cenobites was dumb
>Also the characters being able to physically fight off cenobites was dumb
What? When did this happen?
It's been a while since I saw it but I remember them blocking them behind doors and shit like that, being able to run away from them, I believe around the climax when everything kicks off
It was explained that that rich dude studied them and designed his mansion to be able to imprison them there
it was ok
It's okay. Best Hellraiser since 2. Worth a watch if you like Hellraiser.
I rewatched the original recently, all of the characters are so ugly lol. Shit film
Part 5 was the best sequel and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
It wasn't a remake. Reboot more like.
Has some interesting elements but yet again they get the cenobites wrong. they are not freddy or jason and just out to kill you. They take you to the most extreme of any sensation possible and turn you into one of them.
I wish they could do the hellbound heart properly.
The gore is mostly off screen and there is barely any blood. The movie is so disjointed and the characters are perplexingly stupid and some of them just disappear out of nowhere then pop up out of nowhere.
If youre after gore or scares dont bother.
The new one is set up a bit too neatly as a horror movie and having the protagonists be teens doesn’t fit a Hellraiser movie very well. The nice thing about the original is that a good 70-80% of it feels like a family drama about a family falling apart because of their various failings and sins. The cenobites are just a force of nature and less ‘movie monster’, so that line where they say ‘some see us as angels, others as demons’ makes more sense, they’re a bit mysterious in what they want and how they operate. In the remake it’s a more straightforward ‘if box - then cenobites kill you’ and the characters spend most of the movie being confused as to what is happening, like the plot is happening TO them. In the original, the humans are the ones whose actions doom them, it feels a lot more mature in that sense and a lot more moralistic, whether you like that or not.
