Agreed on all counts. It’s so rare that a Reboot or long delayed sequel is actually good, but Hellraiser 2022 nailed it. Besides a few iconic lines referencing the original, it did its own thing and did it really well.

Some nice details for long time fans, I personally enjoyed how they combined the design of the original female Cenobite with the lead (different) female Cenobite from Bloodlines into one character in the Reboot.

Between it and the Predator prequel Prey, 2022 has been surprisingly good to old horror IPs. With that said both Hellraiser and Predator have had so many awful sequels over the years, the bar couldn’t be lower to cross.

…we really could use a Hellraiser pinball machine in time for the inevitable sequel or TV series…

I liked the cenobites. Hated the rest of the movie though. Terrible actors and just crappy characters I just couldn't care less about, and the main character is horrible person.

Puzzle box mod for theater of magic?

I wouldn’t want to retheme my theater. But if I did, it could be interesting.

A Hellraiser pin would be awesome. When you start a game the first thing it says to you is: "What's your pleasure Sir"

Going to see a cenobyte later, it turns out.

Agreed. I enjoyed both this and Prey. They aren’t going to replace my love for the originals, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to a newcomer.

Hmm yeah, but Phantasm would be higher up on the list to be made. I mean a big pinball flies around and kills people!
