Completely different story, and different treatment of the Cenobites tbqh, they go from more intense, targeted hunters to not caring about anything but the experience, taking anyone they get because it's all the same, and I honestly found it even creepier. Could've used some more gore to show it, but we did get some amazing scenes and I honestly have no serious complaints.

I didn't like the whole cut your hand requirement. Like it should only magically work on whoever actually played with the puzzle, not any rando that gets stabbed with it.

I like the twist on it because I like how completely callous it is. The original was more "you opened the box, so now you have the consequences" always sat too much with me like a punishment. This way, not only do they demonstrate the obsession with the realms of experience by not caring who they get, but they get MORE people by letting someone think they're earning some reward.

He did not, and I am sad for that :( I'll forgive it since it wasn't in the original script I guess

I thought it was kinda boring, tbh, and I ended up falling asleep multiple times.

the only part that I remember, that I liked, was the more feminine Pinhead.

It's definitely slower to get going, so I can't blame you there. The original was MUCH more effective at setting up the threat, while remake imo was better at showing how alien and other the cenobites are towards the end.

It was okay. I watched all 11 Hellraiser movies last week and would only put the new one in the top five.

Yeah, but he had to retire and Jamie Clayton fucking killed it.

The Cenobites in the original don't see it as a punishment. They see it as a blessing they are bestowing. The Cenobites are Sado-masochists with their own religion. For them, pain is the ultimate pleasure, and they are trying to convert others to that mindset by dragging them to Hell.

I haven't watched it yet, and I love pretty much all of the Hellraiser movies. My one question is: Does the new Pinhead have a great monologue?

Same with the new one. While the originals don't see it as a punishment, they DO see it as an obligation once you've opened the box.

I was surprised at how much I liked the voice for pinhead. The original story described the unarmed hell priest as having a slightly feminine voice.
