Hellraiser Judgement

I write this review with an incredibly heavy heart, I have this weird nostalgic love for Pinhead and the Hellraiser franchise, now I’m not completely deluded, I know 6 out of the 9 previous movies suck beyond repair, so when I heard they were rebooting the series, I got a little flutter in my heart and against my better judgement, jumped on the hype train and let my expectations rise. I…

Hellraiser Revelations (2011), Judgement (2018), and (2022)

The puzzle box is opened and the cenobites descend to claim souls but can any deals be made?

Much of the graphics appears to still be largely practical which is a relief as it’s one of the few things setting this franchise apart from many of the others that have defaulted to modern tropes and CGI methods. It has also stayed true to some of the original imagery and structures while also trying to build upon it at times.

Easily one of the main flaws of these three, as well as most of the franchise, is that it leans more towards nihilistic conclusions. If horror can never have a happy (or happy enough) ending then there’s no stake in the characters, just a long wait until people are torn up. Especially when you include a character or characters that the entire film is based on saving, and then they’re long dead so it doesn't matter anyway. It makes for dissatisfaction.

A good deal of the acting is variable but the odd actor carries the drama fairly well, notably the lead woman in the latest one and the main pro-ant-agonist of the 2011 version. The pinhead variation wasn’t too damning, although it was odd in Judgement where he seemed to get emotional, but since they’re used so scarcely and in these versions have so many effects over their voice, they’re incidental at best.

The narrative in the 2018 film was rather predictable and the twists did little to satisfy as the more relatable characters are swept away by chains. Similarly the most sympathetic couple are the gay characters in the 2022 version and one is taken early on and then not fought for all that hard. 2011 had one of the more complex and interesting story lines but the ending still needed something to allow even an abstract closure rather than the pervading meta-dread.

Revelations: 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

Judgement: 3/10 -This one’s bad but it’s got some good in it, just there-

2022: 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

-In the reboot film the box has 6 ‘configurations’, they are: Lament (Life), Lore (Knowledge), Lauderant (Love), Liminal (Sensation), Lazarus (resurrection), and Leviathan (power).

SUMMARY: Detectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to hunt down a gruesome serial killer who is terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a maze of horror, which may lead them into the depths of hell.

[james-stark-the-writer]

barely even a minute into Hellraiser: Judgement and it opens with Pinhead giving a speech about how people can just watch porn and technology makes sinning too easy or whatever, which is a bit cringe, especially in this franchise, but fine, but then they're talking about how "the house is shrinking" or whatever and they want to get more souls, but like? if people are sinning more, wouldn't you have more souls? you should be overflowing with souls if sinning is easier, unless you can literally only come when called by the box and anybody that doesn't open the box just gets their souls sent somewhere else. also, i don't think starting a movie with how you need to evolve beyond the box in a digital age is a great choice, considering i feel like it's going to be a major player in this movie as well, and also, you guys say you want to move past the old stuff but you still keep including Pinhead in these movies as if Hellraiser is just Pinhead and it really shows how little you actually mean what you say, and how little you actually understand this franchise.

More from the auditor ,Please, anything is fine, I'll understand if you don't

Loves reading, most often preferring poetry and the classics

Prefers coffee to tea, black and strong

While he is not quick to anger, when he does get angry it’s the scary calm type.

Is a hopeless romantic

I've been rediscovering my love for Clive Barker this week due to finally managing to see The Ultimate Cabal Cut of Nightbreed (some kind soul has uploaded it to YouTube) and then re-reading Cabal, the book it was based on.

Cabal is amongst my favourite books ever written (though as a bibliophile that list is extremely long!) and one of my favourite movies. I originally saw it in the early 90s when I was probably far too young, and read the book not long after.

I backed the Occupy Midian campaign in 2012 when the lost footage was being searched for and reintegrated into the movie, and I attended a screening of one of the early edits where I met Nicholas Vince and Simon Bamford (Kinski and Ohnaka in Nightbreed, but better known as two of the Cenobites from Hellraiser). This led to the eventual DVD/Blu-ray release of The Directors Cut (which I got a physical copy of) and then The Ultimate Cabal Cut (which I didn’t, and which I haven't seen until now).

It's an oversimplification to call Barker's work horror, especially in Cabal/Nightbreed - this was the mistake the production company made when originally editing and marketing it.

Clive Barker's vision shows us the beauty of the weird, the macabre, the abnormal, and the supernatural, and the true horror in his work comes from the "normal".

In Cabal/Nightbreed his monsters are not evil, they're simply different - undead, mutants and supernatural beings, a metaphor for anyone who has ever felt othered by society. Midian is a place where they can live safely with no fear or judgement. The evil characters are "naturals", humans who hate and fear the monsters for being different even though they pose no threat, and ultimately try to destroy them.

As a member of the LGBT community it's easy to see where Barker's motivation for this metaphor came from, but it could equally apply to just about anyone who feels like they don't fit in. Certainly as a lonely, bullied, weird child when I first read/saw it, who then grew up into a reasonably weird adult, I'd love for the monsters to come and take me away to Midian.

Anyone seeing this who isn't familiar with the book/movie, I'd urge you to look them up, as well as others by Barker. More of my favourites by him are Imajica, Abarat and of course The Hellbound Heart, filmed as Hellraiser. The Forbidden from short story anthology The Books of Blood was also filmed as Candyman.

Below I've linked The Cabal Cut of Nightbreed. Even if you know and love the original theatrical release I'd still urge you to watch this (quick as you can in case its removed due to copyright!).

In addition to doubling the movie length from 1 hour 40 mins to 3 hours 20 mins, a number of the actors voices have been re-recorded as they were overdubbed in the theatrical version for some reason, notably those of Rachel, and Lylesberg, played by Doug Bradley. It was a crime to remove that man's beautiful voice and wonderful to hear it back where its meant to be.

Also, rather than being a standard horror movie heroine who seems to be there only to scream and be rescued, in this version Lori comes across as much stronger and more well-rounded character.

As it says in the opening text, although much of the footage was of good quality there are some sections where all they had available were degraded VHS tapes, some of which were without audio. This means the editing is also a little clunky in places. However the makers of this version wanted to include everything they possibly could in order to bring it in line with the original shooting script and Clive Barker's epic vision for the piece.

I have a really cool request. The reader is gonna be in a storyline with TJD, she’s on NXT and in a tag team with Cora Jade. Her bad Cora are the reigning NXT and Women’s Tag Team champions. After their match against The Unholy Union Judgment Day pops up on the tron telling her that she is too good to be a partner with Cora. The next RAW after her and Cora lose the titles to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, she blames Cora for losing the titles, she starts beating Cora like Judgment day beat up Edge, soon the judgment dat makes an appearance and tells her that they are proud and tells the WWE universe she is the Hellraiser of Judgment day and will raise hell on the women’s roster along side Rhea Ripley.

This can either be platonic or with any member of Judgment Day

Ooooh this is gonna be bomb! 🔥

Starting over

Pairing: Platonic Judgement Day x Fem reader/ Finn Balor x Fem reader

Description: After losing a tag team match with Cora Jade, you decide to start over fresh

You smile high fiving Cora Jade, walking out to your theme song Born to be wild by Steppenwolf hugging and high fiving fans. You and cora fight smile after winning against The Unholy Union suddenly hearing music looking to see The Judgement Day on the jumbo tron "Y/N you know you're too damn good to be Cora's partner" you starred in a mix of confusion and shock at the jumbo tron wondering what was going to happen and what they were going to do "Your judgement day is coming" you feel a shiver go up your spine at the Irish voice as you and cora walk backstage. You feel the adrenaline in your body wear off as you jump from the ropes landing on Shayna Baszler doing everything you can to pin her but you get pushed off tagging cora in, cheering her on as she and Ronda Rousey tackle and throw each other until ronda gets the win making your blood boil and as the two of you walk away you couldn't handle the feelings and emotions from the past few months oozing out turning and smacking her with everything in you seeing red and losing it, dragging her back in the ring by her hair. You hit her and grab a chair hitting her with it and taking the other chair you grabbed locking her leg in it before getting on the ropes and jumping perfectly on it making her cry out in pain grabbing her hair ready to finish her off until music starts playing turning to see the judgement day walk out "Yes well done finish her off my dear" you look to see Rhea walking in the ring with a smile on her face as the boys come in surrounding you and cora "This is the day you start over clean. New life, new family, and new you" you stare at Damian turning to look at each of the four. "You proved yourself to us from now on you will be the Hellraiser of judgement day, you and rhea would make a good team against the rest of the women" you look at Dom as you steps closer to you holding out his hand to you, taking a deep breath and closing your eyes opening them and tying cora in between the ropes looking at the four standing to your left watching nodding jumping against the ropes and performing your move called twist and slam, getting up and back in the ring wiping the painted flower off your face, grabbing dom's hand, and after a lot of booing mixed with cheering the five of you leave changing yourself over the next couple of weeks. You have your hair cut, split dyed purple and black, wearing judgement day merch, and you gain the courage and tell Finn your feelings for him feeling a sense of love and family from the group than you ever had in your life, being considered a little sister to damian immediately after you joined always being ring side to distract the ref, being rhea's partner in hell always one step ahead to win and being her best friend and sister, you and dom became attached at the hip immediately acting like siblings to each other being an older sister to him and he was the greatest and truest best friend you ever had, and finn became the love of your life always at the ring or by your side with a hug or kiss on the cheek and the fans soon called the two of you Hellraiser and Irish Beast always showing fans how you cared for each other but the five of you showing the true meaning of family.

People I'd Like To Know Better

I was tagged by the ever interesting @deadweight-at7am !

Last song: Drown by Microwave from their album Much Love. Absolutely love that album.

Favorite color: Purple. Im a sucker for it. Honorable mentions, Coral, Burgundy, and Aquamarine. Even though I only wear black dont let that fool you, I love vibrancy.

Last book read: I don’t read nearly as much as I’d like to but last book i remember reading was “Negros With Guns” by Robert F. Williams. Highly recommend, gives you a firsthand account of how black people fought against jim crow antics and what ultimately inspired the rise of culturally important mindsets that were adopted by Malcolm X and the Black Panthers.

Last movie: Technically a documentary on The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (spoiler alert they are beyond fucked up) but last MOVIE movie? T2 Judgement Day. Terminator 2 will forever be one of my favorite movies, Ive watched the gallaria scene an unhealthy amount of times.

Last Show: good question… I think it was Regular Show or Seinfeld. Either way, both are hilarious in their own respective ways.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: BROWNIES/CHURROS, MEATBALLS, and BUFFALO CHICKEN. I think that’s what you mean? I will never say no these.

Relationship: Single. Last girl I was seeing claimed that she was smarter than everyone and started quoting what she called “apocalypse TikTok” about conspiracy theories. I don’t think I really have to say more.

Last thing I looked up: Electric basses 😔 I LOVE my Schecter Stiletto Stealth but I also kinda maybe want Daniel Firth’s (bassist of the legendary Cradle of Filth) signature CTHULU GREEN Schecter Hellraiser Extreme bass…

Current Obsession: aside from my normal everyday ones of cute animals and music? Radiation. I enjoy learning and Ive been obsessed with learning about nuclear incidents and the insanely real threats of radiation on the human body and how radiation works on the subatomic level. After researching more on it ( I highly recommend Kyle Hill on YouTube and his half-life docu series) I can’t wrap my head around the blase attitude of proper radioactivity safety information being circulated. Time/Distance/Shielding is just as important as stop drop and roll.

Looking forward to: A very dear friend of mine who Ive known since we were 12, him and his wife had their first child less than a week ago so can’t wait to meet little baby Rory.
