I don't think that anyone involved with the Hellraiser franchise is even trying anymore, unless what they're trying to do is make each film worse than the one preceding it. Do you remember Hellworld, the one with Lance Henriksen? Everything before the end is an hallucination. A good sign that a film is terrible is when even the cast and crew decide that it never really happened.

So now we have Revelations—a subtitle that has totally never been used before ever—which is filmed partly in the same documentary/handy-cam style that George A. Romero used in Diary of the Dead, and that movie turned out worse than Land of the Dead even if you manage to ignore John Leguizamo (you can't, so don't try). So the cinematography is already guaranteed to be shit, but the creators of Revelations couldn't even get Doug Bradley to return for the role of Pinhead and that guy seriously doesn't do anything else. I checked.

Hellraiser is indisputably one of the best horror films ever made—I even liked Hellraiser 2 for that brief glimpse it had of Pinhead as a human—but put the fucking thing to rest already. You may be unaware, but Clive Barker has written more than one book. Let's see a film adaptation of The Great and Secret Show or maybe even Mister B. Gone if anyone in Hollywood has the balls to make a movie about a demon who isn't a fucking pretty boy (most of his face has been burnt off) and where a girl is boiled alive in a cauldron just for the fun of it.

Even Clive Barker has disowned this film, saying "I have NOTHING to do with the fuckin' thing. If they claim its from the mind of Clive Barker, it's a lie. It's not even from my butt-hole." The man is a class act.
