The early reactions to David Bruckner's new take on Hellraiser highlight the film's gore, atmosphere, and Jamie Clayton's unique portrayal of Pinhead.
Initial reactions to the Hellraiser reboot praise it as a worthy addition to the long-running franchise with the most brilliant rendition of Pinhead since the original films. David Bruckner directed the project for Hulu, positioned as a more faithful adaptation of Clive Barker's novella, The Hellbound Heart.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Doug Bradley, who played Pinhead in the first eight Hellraiser films, is the most prolific iteration of the character. In Barker's source material, however, the Hell Priest has an androgynous appearance and the voice of a young girl; Clayton is a transgender actor, adding another layer of intrigue to the well-established role. Nevertheless, fans expressed division over Clayton's casting and the prospect of a Hellraiser reboot.
The Hellraiser Reboot Is No Cause For Concern Despite some early reservations about the Hellraiser reboot, the Twitter reactions from horror fans lucky enough to see the advanced screening should please the genre faithful and supporters of Barker's 1987 film. The author/filmmaker's original adaptation was notably gruesome, filled with gnarly practical effects, a bleak atmosphere, and an examination of challenging themes mixing pain and pleasure.
While reactions from general audiences may still end up mixed, likely thanks to an unwavering appreciation for the original film, the early reviews for Bruckner's Hellraiser are a relief. Audiences notoriously approach horror movie reboots with extreme apprehension due to a sordid past filled with objectively underwhelming attempts, so seeing the overwhelming love for Hellraiser should satisfy prospective viewers that are still on the fence.
