The comic book did a good job in telling different stories in that universe… and a television show could have the same structure. You can tell so much different stories, based on the box. For example, you can have a death every episode, as the box travel from hand to hand. To me, that made a lot sense, to treat the franchise as a regular television program. Note: When I first heard that Hulu was making a Hellraiser film, I immediately thought it was a television show. Next to Hellraiser and Hellraiser II: Hellbound, this new 2022 Hellraiser is worthy of the title. There’s also a new Chatterer, a new Angelique, and some new Cenobites that I’ve never seen before. We’ve had different actors played Pinhead in the past, so it’s not out of the realm of possibly to replace the original Pinhead played by Doug Bradley. I didn’t even mind that Pinhead is now played by a woman. I like the new additions to Clive Barker’s original story, and I think it is fresh and exciting to get new ideas to this franchise. The other new rule is that if you solve the box’s six configuration, you are granted with an audience with the Cenobite’s god Leviathan. Once you are marked, the Cenobites will appear to destroy you. Instead of just another sequel, like so many of the other Hellraiser films, this new Hulu version created new rules and lore on the Lemarchand’s puzzle box… namely that the box can cut you with hidden blades to feed the box. Barker, himself, wrote and directed the original Hellraiser film in 1987, which set a new standard for horror films. The 2022 Hellraiser film based on and re-imagined Clive Barker’s Hellbound Heart novella. The first really good horror film to come out this year is the new Hellraiser film, exclusive to Hulu.
