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.

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.

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

The re-imagined Cenobites are off putting and sometimes horrifying, which is fabulous. Jamie Clayton as The Priest aka lady pinhead is something to behold, and strangely sexless as a character.

Rated: 7/10

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.

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

Filme que tenta copiar o original, muito fraco na história, roteiro sem sentido, eles tentam fazer uma história com a personagem mais se perdem pq ao mesmo tempo coloca outra porrada de gente e se perde na hora de explicar. Tenta jumpscare mais falha, terror nn tem nada.

Tries too hard to do too much with too little; So many cringe social imitations, and so much imbecilic dialogue.

I didn't like cenobites looking more like aliens than sex-demons, but the reason I can't recommend this movie is because I never bought the reasoning behind the character s decisions. It was not clear to me the rules under what the cenobites operate and an multiple dialogs where just exposition. Just watch the original hellraiser

le quirky milennials take on cenobites. plot is cliche and feels like Tucker and Dale vs Pinhead, with kids accidentally stabbing themselves on a box. gone are any of the darker themes explored in the original. if you even remotely enjoyed the original just skip this one.
