Wow (FYI: WARNING SPOILERS)


I mean, I know that this movie was made to maintain the rights to produce more Hellraiser films, okay.

But man, this film is HORRIBLE. The guy who they chose to play Pinhead overacted waaaaaay too much. He sounds like he's mentally challenged with his trying so hard to sound like Doug Bradley when he speaks. Plus he tries to emote way too much. Pinhead always was able to emote just enough to convey his responses toward any situation, besides that, he was always calm and reserved. Plus this guy's face is swollen or something he looks like he had too many doughnuts or something. He looks horrible with the Pinhead makeup.

Then there's the acting. Wow, all the acting sucks in this film. I know the low budget of $300,000 will warrant low production and cinematography quality, but come on, you can't believe that it will also warrant crappier acting. That'd be wrong to assume so. Plus an incest moment??? A child killing moment? Dang. It's too bad only one of the women got killed by Pinhead. They all deserve it. Not just cuz they're annoying but they can't act! The mother is the worst followed by the stupid daughter. Then there's the two idiot teen boys. OMG, they can't act and they're stupid. They also are horrible in their roles.

I don't know who to hate more about this, Victor Garcia or the Weinstein brothers. Garcia couldn't even make this film make sense. This film is a piece of s**t! Even for a low budget atrocity. The only saving grace about this film is that at least the studio was honest about the reason why they did it. Still, if no Hellraiser remake with Clive Barker only at the helm is made, I wish the Weinsteins go to the poorhouse. I totally wish that on them because of their greed on this. There is absolutely NO excuse for running such a potentially amazing horror franchise into the ground like this. I mean Bloodline, Inferno, Hellseeker, Deader, and Hellworld all were a train going on a downslope into a pit of lava. This piece of junk piece of dogs**t, or thing that's lower than dogs**t is the lid on top of that pit of lava that can never be opened. Pinhead could have had such a bigger cult following. One that equally rivaled Freddy Krureger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers, but no, Dimension got stupid for over two decades and that crap is what we have.

Shame on Victor Garcia for being such a horrible director and the Weinsteins for allowing this abomination to even be made. I'm just glad it was only 75 minutes but even that should've been a warning. GOD THIS GUY WHO PLAYED PINHEAD SUCKS!!!!!! EFF YOU WEINSTEINS AND VICTOR GARCIA!

Greed at its finest.

At what point will they decide to throw a lot of money at this movie to resurrect a dying franchise?

Indeed

The cinematography or at least the grips were fine, the acting was incredibly off, specially from the main actor, the prostitutes were actually great in their small roles which is odd lol.
