Just in time to celebrate spooky season, we’ve got our final episode of the year talking about David Bruckner’s reboot/legacy sequel, Hellraiser. Improving upon Clive Barker’s original in just about ever way — the puzzle box is an actual puzzle! — this heart-wrenching story has some gnarly new Cenobites and one of the most emotionally mature and resonant endings in any horror film (even if a lot of it is difficult to see sometimes).
Happy Halloween, y’all! We’ll see you next year!
