What to Know

Critics Consensus

A gift for long-suffering fans after numerous subpar sequels, David Bruckner's Hellraiser unlocks the puzzle box for getting this franchise back on the right track.

Audience Says

The 2022 Hellraiser is better than a lot of the other films in this franchise, but it's still nowhere near as scary or exciting as the original.

Drew Gregory Autostraddle What works most about the new Hellraiser are its leads. Odessa A’zion’s performance makes up for a lot of what the script lacks. Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Kim Newman Empire Magazine The elaborate new Cenobite designs owe as much to Guillermo del Toro’s bioclockwork as Barker’s S&M body mods, but yet again the emissaries of Hell stand around being philosophically evil rather than doing much of anything. Rated: 2/5 Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) [Odessa A'zion] is just wonderful. Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine It may be the third-best Hellraiser movie, but you really have to have seen fifth-through-eleventh best to know what a relief that is. Rated: 6/10 Jun 23, 2024 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com In David Bruckner’s 2022 renditionof Hellraiser, things change. He has no intention of remaking the same film and goes with his own screenwriters to helm a modern version of a tale that isn’t easy to dig into. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers Thouigh it may not tear your soul apart, it certainly has some grisly sights to show you.

Phineas T B The cenobites designs were absolutely f*king amazing! I want more Weeper. And I really hope they bring back Trevor’s sweet *ss as Chatterer 4.0. Best addition to the franchise since the second movie hands down. My one critique would be More Gore! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Andrew E Despite a a few of the usual annoying tropes in modern moives, I actually enjoyed this one. This especially true when compared to some of the other sequels. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Carlos I While Jamie Clayton's portrayal of Pinhead offers a refreshing and intriguing take on the iconic villain, the 2022 Hellraiser reboot is ultimately hampered by a hokey plot and a villain who feels so arch they could have stepped out of a bad 1950s comic book. The new Cenobite designs, regrettably, are overdesigned to the point of resembling generic monsters from a Silent Hill or Resident Evil video game, losing the chilling, elegant horror of their predecessors. Furthermore, it's difficult to truly root for the protagonist when her abrasive personality makes her such an unlikable character. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Miss G Habiendo visto todas las películas y habiendo leído los libros, esta película ha sido mi favorita de toda la franquicia. El rol de Pinhead es perfecto, el diseño de los cenobitas es realmente original y sin lugar a duda los efectos especiales son mucho mejores. Como amante del terror, esta fue la única de la franquicia que me hizo sentir escalofríos y verdadera emoción. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Emmanuel M Hellraiser (2022) seemed vaguely similar to Hellraiser 2: Hellbound. Although that it wasn't perfect but it was still however, an entertaining movie to watch. Hopefully that this one will get the sequels that it deserves, just as long as the characters are developed properly and the writing ends up being halfway decent, enough. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review babarizam D This film is so bad that one ask question how everything is so simple, easily reaching to the rich guy's state, going away from a single woman who actually knew what the puzzle was about and than she goes inside the castle and everything was just laying there, no one else able to find it but her. wow Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
