A brief review of Hellraiser Judgement.
It has some flaws. Mostly of the nit-picky variety. It slows down a little too much towards the end. But overall I thought it was pretty good. There's some fantastic visuals that remind me of Hellbound. The story is fairly different even if on the surface it appears very similar to part 5 (Inferno). Taylor does a good job as Pinhead.
It had everything going against it and I didn't even realize that this was directed by the same guy who directed the turd that was Within The Rock (which I remember from an episode of Monstervision). But despite literally everything it was a solid film. Easily better than parts 6-9. Sorry Newt, I gave Hellseeker a 2nd chance and still hated it.
BTW: fanboys of Heather Langemkamp are going to be pissed.
