Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog may recall how fond I am of Clive Barker’s novel The Hellbound Heart and the subsequent Hellraiser horror film franchise. Mike LeHan and Paul Gerrard directed and produced a 2013 spec trailer hoping to get a reboot of the series greenlit.
Unfortunately that did not happen, but their trailer shows a lot of work went into it. The depiction of Hell is in keeping with the spirit of the first two Hellraiser movies and the re-imagining of Pinhead is intriguing but not entirely appealing. Anyway, the spec trailer is worth a look if you’ve already read Barker’s The Scarlet Gospels and are starved for more Cenobite material.

Loved it! Too bad this movie never got made.
I agree. A fresh take might have been a hit.
Interesting. Unfortunately Barker himself seems to have torpedoed additional interest in a reboot.
That’s what I hear.
I like the Hellraiser series and I think it might have been good to see what these new men would have done with the series.
I agree!
I liked the look of their Hell.
I know what you mean.
