    There hasn’t been a good hellraiser film since 1990 with Hellraiser 3: hell on earth. The new look pinhead is very interesting, (which i saw on the internet)…its even more scarier then the original cenobites used.

    After hell on earth (hellraiser 3) the series got more distant from the original, some sequels such as hellseeker (part 6) and deader (part 7) were just terrible.

    I think the remake will be good and i will see it…it may not be better then the original, but what remakes are better then the original ?…”NOT MANY”….but some remakes are satisfactory (ok) such as the omen remake (2006), which i thought was better then some of the omen sequels such as the final conflict and also the omen part 4.
