Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
shaftique Satanic, Sick, and pointless... Just like Hollywood.
ethanmitchell-76313 First and foremost I am a diehard fan of the Hellraiser Franchise and even with the later sequels not being anywhere near as amazing as the original, (honestly some are pretty bad) they are all watchable for me, and each one has a different aspect that I think gives it a place in the Hellrasier/Clive Barker universe.Now with that being said Hellraiser: Judgement is a step in the right direction. Not only is it a better movie than the last few, it's the best Hellraiser film since Part 3 Hell on Earth. This movie has a lot of upsides to it, Paul Taylor as Pinhead is a major improvement when compared to the last one. The introduction of The Auditor is great, he adds some much needed flare to the rest of the Cenobites, the new process we see captives go through is interesting, and the film storyline is better as a whole. Now don't get me wrong, this is not the Hellraiser that was shown to us in 1987, but it's a hell of a lot better than what came before it and with the budget and timeframe this movie had to get finished it's pretty good. I think the Director Gary J. Tunnicliffe has a vision that he just hasn't been given the assets to accomplish. Mainly because of who owns the rights to the franchise.Finally this movie isn't without its problems. The plot of is much like Hellraiser films we have seen before and the first half feels like a rip off of Seven. The lighting in it has an orange, yellow muted tone that makes me feel like I am watching an early 2000's Saw movie, which is a far cry from the light blue, cold feeling the first ones gave me. Pinheads screen time is pretty short, which personally I don't consider that a problem, but a lot of people will. There isn't much gore throughout the movie which again I don't mind, and finally I would have loved to have seen a few new cenobites besides Pinhead and the Auditor.With a bigger budget and more time this movie would have been much better and even with the issues I enjoy Hellraiser: Judgement quite a bit. It will have its haters and probably split the fans of the franchise down the middle, some loving, and others not so much. At the least this movie will get fans talking, which will hopefully generate some momentum and get another sequel off the ground with more support than this one had. Diehard fans like myself will enjoy Hellraiser: Judgement it has pleasure and pain, but much more pleasure.
godmschick This isn't a hellraiser movie. Its a Se7en/Saw clone with a bunch of silly weirdos shoved into crap costumes attempting to be cenobites and gallons of bloody chains. I'm not opposed to a crappy horror sequel (or 10)... they definitely have their place in my opinion. But at LEAST follow the dam rules created by the franchise universe.
Michael Ledo Brothers Sean (Damon Carney) and David (Randy Wayne) are detectives investigating odd serial killings that are biblical in nature. They are aided by Christine (Alexandra Harris). There is a judgement going on, as people are killed in a manner of their life vice, or crime. Some people are taken to a home where our Hellraiser crew is located, although they don't come in hot and heavy until the last 10 minutes of the feature. There is a puzzle box, but it doesn't operate as cool as it has in the past.Guide: F-word. Nudity.
