Accept the pain you have wrought. Greater delights await. Join PJ and Derek as they again open the puzzle box and descend into the dark, seductive reimagining of Clive Barker’s horror classic in David Bruckner’s Hellraiser (2022). In this episode the guys explore how the film expands the lore of the Cenobites and Lament Configuration for a modern audience, from its stunning visual design and gruesome practical effects to its themes of desire, addiction, and the price of obsession, plus whether this reboot succeeds in honoring the legacy of the franchise while carving out its own identity. 📺
