Movies Hellraiser 2022 visually references


There's a neat nod to a famous shot from Jack Clayton's 1961 horror classic 'The Innocents'.

Spotted anything else (besides references to the other Hellraiser films)?

A shame the Hellraiser scene didn't invoke the chilling eeriness that The Innocents one did.

Yes, these two films aren't exactly in the same league, I'll give you that.
After that uninspiring trailer I was just pleasantly surprised I managed to watch more than 15 minutes of Hellraiser 2022, but then again I've had to considerably lower my standards in order to be able to watch anything shot during the past couple of years.
Still, there were some nice visual ideas and well shot sequences.

Another one: visual reference to the orgy sequence at Somerton in Stanley Kubrick's 1999 'Eyes Wide Shut'
