Watch the ‘Judgement’ Short That Inspired ‘Hellraiser: Judgment’
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 Judgement was his vision for a Hellraiser film that he was going to try and do outside of the franchise.
Anyways, Judgement was briefly a crowd-sourced project. And as part of the campaign, Tunnicliffe has released seriously cool concept art to go along with a pitch trailer. The short was quickly removed.
Now, it appears to be back online in all of its glory. It’s clear this was done on the cheap, but it’s also pretty fucking awesome.
Here’s some text that was included:
Launching on Kickstarter July 31st from make up effects guru Gary J. Tunnicliffe, an opportunity for movie fans (especially horror) to get behind a project that will not be bound by the creative controlling and micro management of the studio system or ‘disconnected’ producers. A horror film unlike any other blending art and the bizarre, disturbing images and thought provoking content, fusing European and Asian cinema ‘tone’ with the American cinema narrative. This will NOT be the typical ‘teens in peril’ or ‘found footage’ horror faire.
The official shooting synopsis for Hellraiser: Judgment reads: “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?“
The cast is massive and can be detailed by clicking here. Want to see Paul T. Taylor as the new Pinhead? Sure you do.

The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.

The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).

The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
