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 (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) [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.

Audience Member A very good, easy to watch horror with outstanding makeup and creature design. As always the Cenobites really stand out but for the first time since the original two movies the cast really holds their own around them. Whilst different it still holds the same message amd core concepts of the originals and is a worthy reboot! It truly stands as a movie that lets the visuals speak more than the dialogue Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Dean E I actually like this movie way more than the original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Ricardo d Considerando a maquiagem dou 2 estrelas, agora roteiro e atuações, foram péssimas. Este é aquele tipo de filme que você torce para os monstros. Comparando com o original ainda prefiro ele e seus monstros mais assustadores. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Audience Member I have just watched this movie and it was pretty good. I am not the biggest fan of hellraiser's movie but I watched the first one and I liked it. This new movie expand the world in a creative and dark way. The characters are OK but they are a bit forgettable but they work well. The story is very interesting having a good rhythm and a incredible photograph. The special effects are very cool, especially in the violent scenes which are very explicit and the design of the cenobites are very imaginative and disturbing. The ending was so shocking and I am very excited if the directors make a sequel. Maybe the movie is a bit different from the first one but I would recommend that you give it an opportunity. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Andrew D A fun and modern reinvention of the series. The solid acting and deeper look into Hellraiser lore is a great mix, especially for fans of the series (like myself). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Joe M I like the Hellraiser movies, even the cheep cheesy b-rated movies that were made just to hold on to the movie rights, but I really struggle to watch this frustrating mess. There's a really good movie buried in this thing, but the protagonist, Riley, is utterly detestable and disgusting. She craps on and abuses every single person in her life, yet the writing has every one of those people around her continue to coddle her and put up with her ridiculousness. She eventually rewards all of those people for putting up with her crap by getting them all killed. Awesome. Except for one acquaintance, but he ends up mutilated for his troubles, so no worries. It's just unbearable writing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
