Trivia
Doug Bradley, who originated the role of the Hell Priest/Lead Cenobite/Pinhead, had this to say about Jamie Clayton's take in a Twitter post, "I'm a bit blown away by this! The clever re-design of the make-up; the shimmer of the "pin heads"; the palette; whatever that keyhole/locket/tracheotomy thing is at the throat. It's simple, subtle, disturbing and sexy. Everything it should be. Peace and Pain, Doug."

Goofs
When Riley is researching Voight, the results show a list of websites. None of them are valid domain names. This is nothing new for many lower budget films, many of which come up with off-brand search domains as referencing the real ones would be too costly.

Quotes
The Priest: What is it you pray for? What is it you pray for?
Nora: Salvation.
The Priest: And what it'd feel like? A joyful note? Without change, without end? Heaven? There's no music in that.
[the Priest removes a pin from its head...]
Nora: Please...
[... and penetrates Nora's throat with it]
The Priest: But this... there is so much more the body can be made to feel. And you'll feel it all before we're through.

Lamentable configuration

College kids get chased around the woods by Cenobites. Cenobites lay siege to those kids in a mansion. It's like the zombie formula, but with Cenobites.

All of which makes the Cenobites feel pretty ineffectual. Never mind that Cenobites getting locked out of a house isn't really in keeping with, you know, opening all those portals from other dimensions in the walls and floor. Maybe it's a magic house, I don't know.

The Hellraiser reboot has decent art direction. It has a budget. There's nothing wrong with the new Pinhead, she's fine. But in terms of story, they phoned it in this time. We're left with a movie that's perfectly acceptable as some time-waster slasher that you forget the moment the credits roll, but that's all. Lamentable, considering the potential.
