I expected this to be reeaallyy baaad. Hellraiser movies like so many, get worse over time and typically remakes have little to offer.
This was a pleasant surprise and a fun ride for an old theatrical fan of the 1980s fare.
Young people get their hands on a demonic puzzle box and the more they change or solve it the more demonic characters we meet. Dark adventures ensue.
Oddly, a more coherent narrative than the original but also perhaps because it is more "sane," is less horrific than the original.
Of course now I am an old fart rather than a young adult so it does take a lot more to scare me these days.
