This is what zapped my interest and I wonder if I'm not alone...


To me, a fundamental error the filmmakers made was having an unlikable lead. I just did not like or care for the character and when that happens in a movie or program, my interest bottoms out.

Surely, there could have been a way to develop this character as a troubled, LIKABLE, character instead of a self-centered and vapid brat.

I also would have liked to have had just a bit more lighting of the darkest scenes so the horror of the cenobites (right?) could be more clearly seen.

I can see what you mean.

Plus, Gen Z fashion doesn't help either. It's supposed to be baggy and comfortable so the personality shines... that doesn't work here. We just see an ass being a bigger ass.

But, Hellraiser is known for bad characters doing dumb things.

only pussies care about likability in horror movies.
