So far, it seems like director David Bruckner can't make a bad movie... The Ritual, The Night house, all stylish horror movies of the last few years. Maybe in top 10 horror movie directors of today.
For the newest Hellraiser, many complained about female antagonist, and it didn't bother me, nor I think it's better or worse fact since it is closer to the original concept. Comparing to th previous director's movies, it's his most stylish movie until now. Cinematography is the best in the franchise. Atmosphere perfect, maybe I'm a bit biased because it's filmed in my city, Belgrade, but all the looks fit the story.
Overall, I believe it's definitely worth watching for every horror movie fan, and don't expect just another remake of some movie. No, this stands alone as a pretty solid adaptation. One of my top 10 horrors of this year.
