Halloween is just over a month away, which means the spooky season is just around the corner — and that means it’s time for some horror movies. One of the new movies coming out in time for the big day is Hulu’s reboot of Clive Barker’s classic Hellraiser. Based on the first trailer, the new iteration seems to retain the mix of temptation and fear that made the original so distinctive, with some very satisfying puzzle box scenes as well.
The reboot will be directed by David Bruckner and will feature: Sense8 star Jamie Clayton who takes on the role of Pinhead. According to the official description, the new Hellraiser follows “a young woman struggling with addiction” who “comes into possession of an old puzzle box, unaware that its goal is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.” Barker, the series creator, will serve as producer.
Hellraiser will begin streaming on Hulu on October 7.
