Hellraiser: Revelations

The rushed ninth Hellraiser film, and the first without Doug Bradley as Pinhead.

Hellraiser: Revelations is a 2011 American horror film directed by Víctor Garcia from a script by Gary J. Tunnicliffe, the ninth film in the Hellraiser series. It follows two friends, Steven Craven and Nico Bradley, whose trip to Mexico ends when they open the puzzle box and the Cenobites come for them.

Dimension Films made it in a matter of weeks because it had to release another Hellraiser film or lose the rights to the series. Doug Bradley turned it down, so it is the first film in the series in which he does not play Pinhead.

Background

A year after Steven and Nico vanish, their families meet for dinner, and Steven's sister Emma finds the puzzle box among his returned belongings. When she works it, a bloodied 'Steven' reappears and warns that the Cenobites are coming. Flashbacks show that Nico solved the box in Mexico and was dragged into the Cenobites' realm, then used Steven's killings to come back without his skin; the man holding the families at gunpoint is really Nico wearing Steven's skin.

The film stars Steven Brand, Nick Eversman, Tracey Fairaway and Stephan Smith Collins. It got a single public screening on 18 March 2011 and was released on DVD on 18 October 2011.
