Hellraiser is a franchise that potentially could work as a reboot, but not like this. If I had to guess, I'd say greed was the primary motivator for this movie, not passion. If you watch the original, it's a passion project. Clive Barker *wanted* to make the films. This one? It's just a cheap knock off with crappy CGI. It's sad when 80s practical effects looked more real than modern tech.
None of the characters were likeable, nor did they establish any reason to care about them.
This female pinhead doesn't have the same kind of presence Doug Bradley brought to the role. She seems more like a replaceable cenobite that really doesn't matter. To the point that they should have just given her an entirely unique design.
The cenobites themselves were bland. Between the CGI looking terrible and the designs being lackluster it just doesn't work.
All in all, watch if you want to experience not-so-exquisite suffering, else just skip it.
