WhileHellraiser : Judgmentpromises to be a footstep up in quality after the last few subsequence , fans may be feeling understandably burned by the series . The previous motion-picture show – 2011’sHellraiser : Revelations – was a micro - budget effort that was hastily assembled when producer realized their selection on the serial was about to lapse . The result flick was universally trash by critics and fan alike ; even Barker himself mock it on Twitter . Judgment , likeRevelationsbefore it , is another straightaway to DVD sequel being made in edict to preserve the copyright .

AHellraiserremakehas been mooted for years but never seems to come together . Barker himself spoke of compose and producing a fresh version in 2014 , but talk presently blend in quiet . Another interlingual rendition with film director Patrick Lussier was also developed in 2011 . It ’s think the concept ofHellraiseritself is what stands in the mode of a remaking ; its themes of hell , damnation and quirky demons rip people apart with hooks is n’t as easy to market as another horror franchise likeFriday The 13thmight be .

There ’s no word on if or when aHellraiserremake might happen . Screenwriter Max Landis recently pitched his larger-than-life vision of a team up behind Freddy Krueger , Jason Voorhees , Child ’s Play’sChucky and Pinhead ; a vision that ’s unconvincing to ever pass .
