Justin T I don’t get why you wouldn’t make the lead cenobite something other than Pinhead if you don’t have Doug Bradley, especially when the replacement actor isn’t as good but might have been good if he was a different cenobite. Most of the acting is pretty weak and soap opera style. The writing isn’t good either. They feel the need to spell everything out rather than implying it and letting the audience work out what’s going on, this is mostly because they assume you haven’t seen any of the previous films. It’s a short feature film but there is still repetition and boredom, it could have been half the length without losing anything. A lot of it is pretty goofy, more so than scary. Almost everything that made the Hellraiser series great is gone by this point. It’s not totally unwatchable and it gets an extra point for that but it’s certainly not even close to average. The bad acting makes it hard to watch and the bad writing makes it boring.The cenobites are not intimidating, there is no tension and it’s too bright. This is basically a bad cosplay based on bad fan fiction made in some LA brats parent’s house and yes, it’s the worst Hellraiser so far. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Eric G This film is so bad, it makes every other Hellraiser sequel look like a masterpiece. The writing, acting and casting are all so poor, you want to turn the film off within 10 minutes. Pinhead is played by what looks like a teenager, Steven and Nick are so extreme in their idiotic behavior it's unbelievable, and their families' constant insistance to not even talk about what happened and instead have a dinner party is asinine; denying the tragedy of the loss of their children entirely is pretty damn unrealistic. The only person in this story who makes sense it the daughter who asks the question we all want to know: why is every other character in this film a moronic jerk? And that's just the first 10 minutes. The film goes on to have the consequences of opening the box change from a the near immediate death/torture to nothing more than a shaking house and flickering lights. Pinhead make one of the teen boys into another Pinhead, which is certainly not creative. Then we get incest, and a little action from the cenobites, but nothing scary at all, and that's the worst part of this movie: not scary, just dumb. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Emmanuel M Hellraiser Revelations is basically dollar store Hellraiser, just without any of the suffering. Hellraiser Revelations felt incomplete without the Cenobites which they play a big part in the Hellraiser franchise, and Pinhead was barely in the movie. Pinhead was criminally underused. At least with the other Hellraiser films, they gave Pinhead more screen presence. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Adam B Hellraiser: Revelations brings about the absolute worse from this franchise. In the first movie since 1996 to actually be written for the franchise, in only exists to keep the rights. It's actually rather respectable that they even made a movie at all from the budget and time. But a few callbacks to the first one cannot look past that pretty much every section is either boring or unwatchable, distasteful disgusting. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Jolin S This is by far the worst Hellraiser of the lot. The acting is bad, the replacement Pinhead is terrible and the overall story does not measure up to the brilliance of the original movie. The only thing that was okay was some of the special effects. Watch if you want so you can make your own review but like I stated above I can’t recommend it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Graham S My expectations were rock bottom, but honestly, this isn't the worst movie I've seen by a long long way. I like the new Pinhead! Those are some big shots to fill. He does ok. Hellraisers 5 through 8 are pretty awful. At least this is Hellraiser movie, not another movie retrofitted with some pinhead scenes. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
