I just watched almost all of the Hellraiser movies (3-8 since theyre on HBO right now) and I watched the Hulu one before then. They ALL suck. They are all silly by todays standards and some of them (Hellworld) had very little to do with actual Cenobites/Pinhead at all.

The newest one was the most interesting and gruesome.

It’s crazy how many of them are detective procedurals

If I'm not mistaken, Hellworld and the one after were both existing scripts that were later adapted into Hellraiser movies. None of them were built to tell a Hellraiser story, they just kinda shoehorned it together.

Yeah I went down a Hellraiser rabbit hole when I watched the whole series. I forget which ones were shoehorned in. But I actually enjoyed Deader and Hellworld the most. I think they’re all pretty terrible, even the first one. I was hoping the reboot would be able to make a great one but I do think it’s one of the best of the franchise though
