Movie Review: Hellraiser (2022) Offers More Pain Than Pleasure

The horror genre is abuzz about Hulu’s new Hellraiser, directed by David Bruckner, so, does it live up to the hype? In the beginning, we meet Riley, a young woman who is struggling with addiction while living with her intensely judgemental brother, his partner, and another roommate. After stealing a puzzle box with her boyfriend all hell breaks loose and the cenobites are unleashed, but she’s got a plan. First thing’s first, the movie has a character problem. While the character of Riley is fleshed out, the other’s aren’t. They are cardboard cut out characters and they are simply there to suffer. One of the biggest sources of debate among fans is the new female Pinhead. I have to say, I was rather impressed by Jamie Clayton’s portrayal of “The Preist.” She features a similar look and her voice, only slightly feminine, was a great choice. As for the story, it held classical elements of the franchise, cenobites, chains, suffering,

Before its latest sequel, V/H/S/99 can premiere on October 20th, news has come that Shudder has just green-lit the next installment of the franchise, V/H/S/85. The upcoming anthology will feature renowned genre filmmakers such as David Bruckner (Hellraiser, The Night House), Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone, Sinister), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Bingo Hell, Culture Shock), Natasha Kermani (Lucky) and Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn). “Since its inception, the V/H/S franchise has been a showcase for both established and emerging horror filmmakers to terrify audiences with innovative takes on the found footage genre. Following the success of last year’s hit V/H/S/94 and this year’s upcoming V/H/S/99, we are totally stoked to take Shudder members back to 1985 with a wicked new collection of scares from some of the most radical horror directors working today,” said Shudder General Manager Craig Engler. “The V/H/S series is a continued love letter to found footage nastiness and the mad variety of anthology horror,” said director and

Ben Kingsley Will Lead The Cast Of New Adaptation Of Neil Gaiman’s ‘Violent Cases’

35 years after publishing Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s first-ever graphic novel, today Scary Monster, Lakesville Productions and Foton Pictures have now announced that development on Violent Cases is well underway with Academy Award®-winning actor Ben Kingsley attached in the lead role of the Osteopath led by the creative team behind the BAFTA-nominated The Girl With All The Gifts, director Colm McCarthy, writer Mike Carey, and producer Camille Gatin. At only 50 pages, “Violent Cases” features a narrator, who tells of how, as a small child in Portsmouth, he was taken by his father to be treated by an osteopath ( a licensed physician who uses both conventional treatments and osteopathic manipulative medicine) who was once employed by Al Capone. The nature of the narrator’s relationship with his father, the tales the osteopath told, and the disturbing events that followed, are partially obscured by the narrator’s imperfect recall of things he was not old enough to understand at the time.

Witness The Twisted True Crime Series ‘A Friend of the Family’ Now On Peacock

Back in 2019, viewers went through a gambit of emotions, mostly disgust and confusion, after watching the documentary Abducted in Plain Sight which explored the real-life story of Jan Broberg. Now, Broberg’s story has inspired the new limited Peacock series, “A Friend of the Family,” from showrunner, writer, and executive producer Nick Antosca (Brand New Cherry Flavor, The Act, Channel Zero) The series will walk us through the shocking relationship between the Broberg family and the man who kidnapped Jan not once, but twice. . “It’s easy to judge the Broberg family’s story from the outside. Sometimes when people first hear it, they get defensive: ‘How could these parents have let this happen? I’m not like them,’ Nick Antosca said in a statement. “That’s understandable. It’s a surreal story. When I first heard it, I empathized with the family’s vulnerability, and I felt like I understood their story from the outside. But it stayed with me, and I wanted to
