Hellraiser

It has been many years since the Doug Bradley graced the role as Pinhead, the last one being <I>Hellraiser: Hellworld</I> (2005), and ten-plus years since the dreadful and easily forgotten <I>Hellraiser: Revelations</I> (2011), and it was only time until we received a proper film. That time is now, and David Bruckner's <I>Hellraiser</I> reboot, this time with a female-fronted Cenobite (The Priest) and her crew, Chatterer, Weeper, Gasp, Asphyx, does not disappoint.

The film features a story from both Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, writers of last year's well-received <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/jZze">The Night House</A></I>, coupled with great acting and direction.

The reboot, currently streaming exclusively on Hulu at the time of this review, has received rave reviews from critics and fans, but its success will only determine if we'll see more of The Priest and her Cenobite clan once again, which we all hope for.

-----
<B>Personal Review</B>: I found the storyline to be well-developed and straight to the point while aided by both a great cast and cinematography. Unfortunately, I did find it too dark at times, especially since I wanted to get a clearer picture of the Cenobites' design(s). Still, if you're a fan of the series, don't miss out on this.
