About Hellraiser Movie:
The film is a reboot of the Hellraiser franchise, the eleventh installment overall, and a second adaptation of the 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker, which was adapted into the 1987 film Hellraiser.
Principal photography for the film began in September 2021 in Belgrade, Serbia, and wrapped in October 2021.
Hellraiser was released on DVD by Paramount Home Entertainment in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2023.
In October 2007 Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury confirmed they would be directing the project, with Clive Barker producing. In April 2008 Maury and Bustillo left the project.
It took 4 hours to apply the makeup to all of the actors playing cenobites, and around 45 minutes to an hour to remove it all.
Cues of composer Christopher Young’s original score from the original Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II feature in the film.
Jamie Clayton could barely move while in costume as Pinhead, as it was very heavy and tight on her body.
This is the first Hellraiser movie to have a female Pinhead. In Clive Barker’s original novella The Hellbound Heart, Pinhead – a title Barker dislikes, preferring “Hell Priest,” which was not used before Barker’s 2015 novel The Scarlet Gospels – is described as ‘modified’ to the point that it appears sexless.
The film received lukewarm reviews from critics, with some deeming it an improvement over its predecessors and the best since the original 1987 film; it was praised for its new take on the series, faithfulness to the tone of the source material and Clayton’s performance, while being criticized for its rushed character development and runtime.
