There was only ever one true iconic horror character that honestly gave me the creeps for a very long time in my life and that was Hellraiser‘s Pinhead who was originally played by Doug Bradley. There was something about the character and the way the films were that just honestly terrified me and I thank him for that. That is why I always try to cover one of the films of the franchise every time I do an Eddie’s 31 Days Of Halloween and we have a new one for you guys. This year Dimension Films put a straight to DVD release entitled Hellraiser: Judgment that was written and directed by Gary J. Tunnicliffe (Jack and The Beanstalk). There is a madman running around the city calling himself the Preceptor and murdering people in the name of the Ten Commandments. This doesn’t sit well with Detectives Sean (Logan’s Damon Carney) and David Carter (The Lying Game’s Randy Wayne) as they investigate the murders and with an additional partner they dive deeper into a world that may not be of their own. The film also stars Alexandra Harris (The Veil) as Christine Egerton, Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare On Elm Street) as the Landlady, Paul T. Taylor (Blonde Ambition) as Pinhead, Rheagan Wallace (Charlie: A Toy Story) as Alison Carter, John Gulager (Feast) as The Assessor, and Joel Decker (I Can Only Imagine) as The Butcher.
I will say one thing and that is that I definitely liked Paul T. Taylor as Pinhead then I liked Stephan Smith Collins and it all has to do with the look of the costume. I am a traditionalist and with me saying that Doug Bradley will always be Pinhead, but I get why they did it.
