The steady, blood-red stream of Hellraiser: Judgment content continues today with Bloody Disgusting unveiling some creepy new stills from the forthcoming horror flick.
On paper, it’s the straight-to-video revival from Gary J. Tunnicliffe, who has been developing Judgment since as far back as 2015. Inspired by the works of Clive Barker, Tunnicliffe’s über-violent gorefest aims to resurrect the Cenobite Pinhead (Paul T. Taylor) in style, and maybe – just maybe – spawn a sequel of its own.
Before we get swept up by forward-thinking and speculation, though, Bloody Disgusting’s gallery is a puzzle box of sadomasochistic experiments, which, if nothing else, acts as living proof that Hellraiser: Judgment is four weeks away from making Event Horizon seem like a bright and breezy Disney movie.
See for yourself:
Featuring a cast comprised of Damon Carney, Randy Wayne, Alexandra Harris, John Gulager, Mike Jay Regan, Diane Goldner, Andi Powers, Jeff Fenter, Helena Grace Donald, and Grace Montie – not to mention that surprise cameo from Heather Langenkamp of A Nightmare on Elm Street – Judgment journeys through the fire and flames to resurrect Pinhead, an oft-forgotten horror icon who first clawed his way out of hell in 1987.
The story goes that a trio of unassuming detectives – Sean Carter, David Carter, and Christine Egerton – are whisked off to an alternate, hellish dimension where chaos reigns and Pinhead is king, as the official logline teases:
Three detectives trying to stop a diabolical serial killer are sucked into a maze of otherworldly horror, where hellish denizens including the Auditor, the Assessor, and the Jury await to pass judgment.
Lionsgate and Gary J. Tunnicliffe’s Hellraiser: Judgment will ooze onto Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand on February 13th – just in time for the most romantic day of the year – and is now available to pre-order on Amazon.
