Wanna See a Few ‘Hellraiser: Judgment’ Cenobites?!

When I originally started digging into the alleged new Hellraiser film I had discovered that it may or may not be connected to Gary Tunnicliffe‘s passion project, Judgement.

From where I was standing, it looked as if his Judgement screenplay has been pigeon-holed into becoming the next Hellraiser, currently titled Hellraiser: Judgment.

When I spoke to him, he explained that it was actually the other way around, and that Judgementwas his vision for a Hellraiser film that he was going to try and do outside of the franchise.

Tunnicliffe is now in post-production on Hellraiser: Judgment, which we know stars A Nightmare On Elm Street‘s Heather Langenkamp, along with Damon Carney, Randy Wayne, Alexandra Harris, John Gulagher, Mike Jay Regan, Diane Goldner, Andi Powers, Jeff Fenter, Helena Grace Donald, and Grace Montie (read about their roles).

The biggest questions mark, however, was whether or not Doug Bradley would return to the role of Pinhead after being recast in Revelations. While we always hope for the best, we reported that Paul T. Taylor will play Pinhead in Hellraiser: Judgment. Want to see Taylor as the new Pinhead? Sure you do.

There’s now fresh imagery, courtesy of Two Hours in the Dark, which display Tunnicliffe on set with the puzzle box, as well as our first ever looks at two new Cenobites: The Butcher and Surgeon. [Update: We’ve learned which character are and are not Cenobites.]

The Butcher, who is in one scene, carries a giant scythe, in large, hack-like movements, and slices meat from Watkins’ back. The Surgeon, also in one scene, uses surgical precision to vivisect Watkins on the gruesome operating table. Jeff Fenter (The Box, Zero Charisma) plays ‘Karl Watkins’ in the film.

In Hellraiser: Judgment, “Detectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiraling maze of horror that may not be of this world. Could the Judgment awaiting the killer’s victims also be waiting for Sean?

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
