Hellraiser, a reimagining of Clive Barker’s 1987 horror classic from director David Bruckner (The Night House), will debut in the U.S. exclusively on Hulu as part of the streamer’s annual Huluween celebration of fright-filled content. After the surprising success of Prey, it is hard not to be excited about the upcoming film.
In the all-new Hellraiser, a young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.
How will new generations of fans react to the Lament Configuration? While it is now seen as one of the best horror movies of all time, the initial reviews were mixed. Will Hulu be able to reinvigorate another franchise? Even though Pinhead is an icon of the genre, the film itself is often regarded as a tier below other well known horror franchises.
Hellraiser comes to Hulu October 7
