Rather than try to duplicate Bradley’s manner, presence or speech, Clayton’s Priest resurrects the character’s strangeness, commanding the frame with eerie stillness, beckoning hapless humans to indulge sensation no matter the cost. Meanwhile, as The Priest, Jamie Clayton (“The L Word: Generation Q,” “Sense8”) gracefully picks up the torch from Doug Bradley, who became legendary as “Pinhead” through the first eight films and has become inextricably linked to the films’ lore. Her young addict is desperate and real, a mess of a person with a voice that breaks each time she tries to explain her confused and urgent need to make amends both in her daily life and in the supernatural one that has punctured her existence. ‘Sense8’ Star Jamie Clayton on Playing a Trans Character Well Past Transition: ‘Nomi Is the First’Īs Riley, A’zion delivers a breakthrough performance that could have, in a less thoughtful production, been reduced to screaming and crying. In fact, nothing about its universe has ever been straightforward (or straight, for that matter). “Hellraiser,” in its most effective iterations, has never relied on a spooky setting or the idea of a straightforward slasher. It hinges on the unknown and commonly held collective fear of pitch-black basements to shockingly fresh effect. This year’s “Barbarian” is turning horror fans’ heads because it seems to have come out of nowhere, its mythology not yet turned into merch. In this mix is a rich collector of occult objects, a forbiddingly powerful man named Voight (a haunted Goran Visjnic), whose role in the madness becomes frighteningly clear as those sacrifices pile up. Once summoned, the creatures demand sacrifices, and the damage Riley has caused in life now wreaks havoc on her friends and family in a supernatural dimension. Enlisting Riley in a robbery, they come into the possession of a puzzle box that, when twisted and turned, ejects a blade that not only cuts the user but also opens a portal to the dimension of the Cenobites. But Riley’s new boyfriend, Trevor (Drew Starkey, “Outer Banks”) is a destabilizing force. Her brother Matt (Brandon Flynn, “13 Reasons Why”), his boyfriend Colin (Adam Faison, “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay”) and roommate Nora (Aoife Hinds, “Derry Girls”) spend much of their time helping her stay on track. Riley (Odessa A’zion, “Grand Army”) is a young addict struggling to stay sober. New ‘Hellraiser’ Trailer Properly Introduces Jamie Clayton’s Pinhead (Video) The films’ leading Cenobite, The Hell Priest aka “Pinhead,” once a grand phantom, became a cuddly toy. As more and more sequels played fast and loose with creator Clive Barker’s thematic vision for his Cenobites - extra-dimensional entities that sought carnal experience, preying on conflicted human desires and obsessions - the quality suffered and those giddy, early thrills faded from memory. There is Count Chocula.īut inevitably something is lost, and that has also been the fate of the “Hellraiser” film series, of which there were three released theatrically and seven more for the home market. To be fair, there is entertainment value in the cartoonish experience of Freddy Krueger as a wisecracking quip machine, or viral videos posted by proud parents of deranged six-year-olds who terrorize playgrounds in Michael Myers costumes.

Pity the poor monsters of legendary horror movie franchises: Time and familiarity and cruddy sequels render them toothless and soft, formerly ferocious animals one can now pet, their evil energy sapped by fan adoration.
