Hulu`s `Hellraiser` doesn`t raise the bar on Clive Barker`s gory original
(CNN.com Entertainment)

Although the new `Hellraiser` is billed as `reimagining` Clive Barker`s 1987 horror film, it`s not like the title ever went away, raising six direct-to-video productions (the last one in 2018) after the four theatrical movies. If you somehow skipped, ballpark, nine of those, this direct-to-Hulu version offers a credibly creepy retelling in an over-inflated package that would benefit from a few targeted pinpricks.
