Hellraiser was a reliable source of 1980's classic horror and gore. Several of the dozen sequels have been an abomination to the world of cinema, in part to due the tendency to attempt to revive a story in the current level of technology, CGI and a pretentious attempt at 'improving' the original story lore. Hellraiser is a simple concept that was intentionally vague, which as with so many other classic horror made it work. Add the modern twist and it becomes nothing more than sparkly outfits and atmospheric music. Let's hope female pinhead is hot, at least.

ICYMI: They cast a Tranny in the lead.

Yeah, apparently ole Clive thought after all the failed collabs & funding ventures with this one over the years, he had to go 'woke' in order for it to even be made, let alone directly to Hulu for release..?

Thus, the Trans actors lawyer daddy supplying funding so they could film in Serbia or so I read a few years back.

Either way, I wont be seeing this one or adding it to my collection.

She's been described as "trans" or "androgynous" so I wouldn't hold your breath...unless you're into that.

That's a disappointment.

It's a dude, pretending to be a chic IRL, cast as a Centobite.

Trans & Androgynous aren't the same thing at all.

I'm not suggesting that, but they have about the same sexual appeal for me.
