Hellraiser: Judgment is a stuffy police procedural masquerading as a torturous Pinhead franchise entry. Read full review

The imagery is creepy and the pacing is brisk, but the story is a faded carbon copy of other, better serial killer thrillers, and the new additions to the Hellraiser mythology rob the Cenobites of their deviant allure and otherworldly menace. Read full review

One for Hellraiser completists only. Assuming there are any left. Read full review

Where the first few Hellraisers had an interesting if somewhat icky erotic tang to them – alluding to S&M/fetish culture as much as horror, and featuring female protagonists – Judgment is less about desire than just straight-up misogyny and gory, gross-out money shots. Read full review

I loved it. Yes, It's weird not having Bradley as Pinhead but the new lead, Taylor, proves that Pinhead can live in with a new actor. The story was good, The visuals looked awesome and all in all, it was just a good movie.

It was pretty entertaining being a Hellraiser fan. Thought it was creepy and worth the rent.

Hope. That’s what Hellraiser: Judgment represents to me after watching one of if not my favourite film progressively get worse and worse over the course of too many sequels, it’s nice to know somebody still cares about the Hellraiser legacy. Judgment is by no means a perfect film, hinderedHope. That’s what Hellraiser: Judgment represents to me after watching one of if not my favourite film progressively get worse and worse over the course of too many sequels, it’s nice to know somebody still cares about the Hellraiser legacy. Judgment is by no means a perfect film, hindered by an insultingly low budget and sub standard acting, some portions can feel near unwatchable, but the intent is still there. It has the Hellraiser feel, while still adding something incredibly new and creative to the mythos, the biggest addition to the story since the second film eight movies ago. The actor who plays Pinhead (while still not British) captures the essence of Doug Bradley without coming off as a shoddy imitation, and I think that sentiment carries over the entire film. And if more Hellraiser sequels can be like this, then I’m on the edge of my seat awaiting Hellraiser 11.… Expand

Weird little spin on Hellraiser, added a heaven angle to it. Was not effective.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Hellraiser: Judgement has better acting and has a better look, it still is quite disappointing to me.
Doug Bradley isn't Pinhead and the new Pinhead is better than the one in Revelations, but the actor isn't that good. The other characters aren't that fascinating either.

Also, the story is so similar to another awful Hellraiser sequel, Hellraiser Inferno.… Expand
