Probably better than many of the original sequels but that's not saying much.
It's a bad film. It looks cheap, the characters are rubbish, too much focus on teenagers doing stupid douchebag things while being oh so plucky and adventurous. The cenobites are not intimidating and the mystique around the iconic box is just gone at this point- no matter how many upgrades it received for the reboot.
What are the plusses? Nice to see a gay couple represented as simply a couple rather than a plot device or source of strife; most of the effects are practical; there's some interesting violence.
All in all it was a disappointment like basically all of the HELLRAISER films from the third one onwards.
