What a great way to liven up a dull Tuesday afternoon. Shock Till You Drop have got their mitts on two stills depicting the new Pinhead in Hellraiser: Revelations. The movie was steamrollered into production due to Dimension Films losing the rights to the series in 2011 if a new instalment wasn’t made. Hence this new stab.

So what do you think of this new Pope of Pain? Is he a match for Doug Bradley’s creation? Maybe that isn’t the point. After all, this new character is called Pseudo-Pinhead and will be played by Stephen Smith Collins. No, me neither.

Hellraiser: Revelations is a stand alone entry into the canon and is what was once known as a quota quickie. Victor Garcia is directing from a Gary Tunicliffe screenplay.

Tuncliffe’s script sees two friends played by Jay Gillespie and Nick Eversman backpacking in Mexico who stumble across the Lament configuration thus opening the doors to another realm of experience. But then one of them decides he doesn’t want to be Pinhead’s bitch and plots a nefarious scheme to swap himself with a friend!

If you want to know the story behind why we’re not getting a Hellraiser remake proper, you can read all about that troubled saga here.
