The trailer opens with an affluent man taking advantage of a young man to open a puzzle. Outside of images, the footage above gives fans their first glimpse of [Jamie Clayton](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/jamie-clayton/) as the horror movie monster Pinhead alongside her posse of sadistic supernatural beings called Cenobites. The Hulu Original film is set to reunite director David Bruckner with screenwriters Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, writer/producer David S. Goyer, and producer Keith Levine, all of which worked on 2020’s The Night House. But instead of leaving the puzzle alone, she accidentally summons the Cenobites from another dimension, who force her to serve them with a sacrifice. After that, the visuals showcase a young woman struggling with addiction coming across an ancient puzzle box, more commonly referred to as the Lament Configuration.

Christopher Young's brilliant Hellraiser score is nearly as synonymous with the film as Pinhead — but if writer-director Clive Baker had his way, ...

Hellraiser editor Tony Randel reportedly suggested Young — who had already cut his teeth on the likes of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge and Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars — as a replacement. Barker met with the band to discuss the soundtrack, citing Wayne Bell and Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Pino Donaggio’s Carrie scores as points of reference. The band was working on cues for the film when they received word that the producers at New World Pictures had rejected their music. Barker was quoted as saying that Coil is “the only group I’ve heard on disc whose records I’ve taken off because they made my bowels churn.” That’s high praise coming from the master of the macabre. Pino Donaggio wrote the music to Carrie and it’s got a very romantic quality; very beautiful and melodic and melancholic,” Thrower recalled in a 2017 interview with The Quietus. When Barker happened into the store, Thrower mentioned that he was a fan of his Books of Blood, and the two hit it off.

The 11th Hellraiser movie, simply titled Hellraiser, hits Hulu on October 7.

My suggestion to fans is to go into it not thinking exactly where it’s fitting in the history of the series and to just experience the film. So [we were] holding that in as high regard as we can, but also—and this is something that we all talked about as a team, and I think everybody was on board for—it was like we also have a responsibility to just lose ourselves in this and allow it to take us in different directions if we’re so compelled, and to be true to the story that we’re telling.” “If it was up to me, we’d put the year on it when we discuss it, because I think we all kind of know where it situates. I also think that it fits within the world of Hellraiser and what you’ve seen before in many ways.

If the story is strong, the movie will work [...] That's why 'Hellraiser has succeeded; not because the Cenobites are gloriously f***ed up." "The thing that will make the movie work or not is none of that. It should come as no surprise that the Cenobites, coupled with Bruckner's vision of hell, look incredible. [Syfy Wire](https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/hellraiser-doug-bradley-talks-hulu-casting-new-pinhead), when Bradley was at Silver Scream Con, he commented on Clayton's casting, saying that while he's not familiar with how she'll play the part, he is, however, quite a fan of her "Sense8" performance.

A’Zion was cast in the lead role in June 2021, months before filming began in September.

The major talking point surrounding the trailer is the new female Pinhead. Horror films have been on an upswing as of late. Although there were a few diamonds in the rough, most horror films from the final decade of the last century almost snuffed out the genre.

Following the first trailer for the upcoming revival of the horror classic, Hellraiser, a new poster offers another haunting look at the return of Pinhead.

This time around, the spiky-faced character will be portrayed by Sense8 and Roswell, New Mexico star [Jamie Clayton](https://movieweb.com/person/jamie-clayton/), with many wondering how this latest iteration will compare to what has come before. First published in 1986, the story was used as inspiration for the movie [Hellraiser](https://movieweb.com/movie/hellraiser/) in 1987, which tells the story of a mystical puzzle box that summons the Cenobites, a group of extra-dimensional, sadomasochistic beings who cannot differentiate between pain and pleasure.

Released courtesy of [the official Hulu Twitter account](https://twitter.com/hulu), Hellraiser comes from the master of horror Clive Barker and will once again tempt audiences to open the puzzle box. “We say ‘female Pinhead’ like we know what that means, but there are a million shades of femininity,” original Hellraiser director Doug Bradley said of the casting.

David Bruckner and Jamie Clayton talk to io9 about the Clive Barker-produced horror reboot.

I liked to say we sort of chased the sick giggle, the side of us that feels like we’re getting away with something, and then also allow ourselves to experience a bit of awe in horror, and to be smaller than the material in some ways. And I feel like if you’re doing anything in a horror film, you’re out on a crazy limb—you’ve got prosthetic monsters, you’re usually battling the elements, and when you’re there on the ground, there’s always the peril that none of it may work. But I don’t think that that challenges the experience in any way that that we can’t get behind. Bruckner: I don’t know anything about it, but I wish them the best. We just found it, and we found levels in it, and expression and tone, the disappointment or the sensuality. There are some bits that are painted to get rid of seams, but that’s all me in all of that. So we wanted to find something that hit the notes that fans would like—but also allowed itself to do new things for new audiences and look at this as a gateway for people to the older movies. It’s a reflection of the inner dilemma of the characters. The voice was interesting because I had done a voice when I taped my audition, and I was just having fun with something. This was always a new story and that sometimes carries you in different places, and you have to follow your inspirations where that’s concerned. The spirit of Hellraiser is one that I think embraces invention and advance of design and is always willing to go [to] some crazy places. David Bruckner: Being a Hellraiser fan myself, it’s pretty easy to instantly want to resurrect everything that you love about the original movies, and you can’t get it all into one film.
