The new incarnation of Pinhead is poised to raise hell for Halloween.
Hulu exclusively debuts the new HELLRAISER October 7, as part of its annual “Huluween” lineup. The reboot of Clive Barker’s creation seems pretty promising, as it comes from the team behind the superior THE NIGHT HOUSE: director David Bruckner, screenwriters Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, writer/producer David S. Goyer and producer Keith Levine. Barker was also a producer on the movie, which stars Odessa A’zion, Jamie Clayton (as Pinhead), Adam Faison, Drew Starkey, Brandon Flynn, Aoife Hinds, Jason Liles, Yinka Olorunnife, Selina Lo, Zachary Hing, Kit Clarke, Goran Visnjic and Hiam Abbass. The synopsis: “In the all-new HELLRAISER, a young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.”
