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.

Ian S Less dark, for the more easy watching market. I didn't mind it, but nowhere near the much darker original. The cenobites looked OK, and still bit S&M freaky. Suggest people who did dnjoy this watch much darker original. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Katarina S Whoever designed these rubber aliens to represent hellraisers should not make any more remakes. Is nothing sacred to you anymore? Does everything have to ruined? There are so many books that can be an inspiration, waiting to be adapted to the screen, but noooo...you have to ruin the existing ones. This is not for any generation, this does not belong in horror...it does not belong anywhere. Also make the Devil wear a skirt and powder his nose and immediately stop filming ever again. I was right for not watching it earlier 👎👎👎 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review TROY S Hellraiser is a reinvigorated reboot that gets the blood pumping, starting with Jamie Clayton’s worthy Pinhead performance that sets a fresh tone with immense reverence paid to Clive Barker's works. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Kened g That movie is good asf, but just for someone that didn't saw the original movies. The gore is good, and the history also Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Jason P Don't listen to the reviews, every recent horror film I've seen is jump scare crap, this is so much more! Actually has a story and is creepy, can't wait for the sequel! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Hellraiser 2022 had the potential to be a really good movie, but failed. I do prefer it from the original but this film is still INSANELY slow going and we barely see the cenobites. I LOVE design of them. They're horrifying but also incredibly made and detailed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
