judgement
I watched the new Hellraiser movie. Overall it is entertaining and it has some well-thought things that I enjoyed. But there was something bothering me about the cenobites in this movie (even if Jayme's Pinhead is amazing, excellent acting work there) and I couldn't put my finger in it. So I looked the original cenobites and I found it.
They are sanitized.
All of the actors in general, cenobites or not, are young and thin and beautiful, even the cenobites. There is an older woman and I was rooting for her to be the main character but she is old and fat, we couldn't have that, could we?
Houses look like houses where people live, they dress like people like them dress, mind you. All that is well conceived. But the cenobites are clean and not gorey. And the three main cenobites are all young and hot women (come the fuck on with this, though).
They took out the BDSM leather style, that is fine by me. But it still feels like a latex suit at times (maybe that explains why it was so dark sometimes, so you wouldn't notice), because of how clean cut and polish it all looks. I am usually turned down by even the slightest gore, I didn't have to take my eyes out of screen more than a couple of times.
The original cenobites are not so young and definitely not clean. Link here for reference. They are bleeding, and some of the blood looks old but some looks recent, and the skin they show looks tired. Only Pinhead and another one may look dignified and have a white head, but it contrasts all the more with the rest of the look, with the open chest wounds that look like they are reopened daily. Even the leather they wear is dirty as if they just came out of a session.
They didn't really have that complicated wounds either. Chatterer is the one with the most worrying modification but all the others? They seem achievable. Someone who is into pain could confirm but I'm pretty sure you can get the wounds that Pinhead has in his chest with knives and needles alone. Some of the deformation they have also looks like the product of acid or burning water. In short, it looks like it's painful daily, but reachable and renewable, like what someone worryingly into BDSM would seek for feeling things.
And then, as for the cleanliness that this movie has: In Hellraiser Judgement we even see the spaces where they "live?" and it is like an empty old house so dirty and old that it just doesn't feel sanitary to have open wounds exposed there. The cenobites in there also look like they didn't shower in days. It is disgusting. Example:
Kudos for the acting and filmmaking in this one because they manage to scare and because Pinhead gives the right vibes on acting alone, but as it is for the design of the cenobites, I didn't love it because it is aesthetic before it is gorey. I didn't feel the pain of the wounds, I didn't feel tempted by that possibility either (and I am NOT a bdsm person, but the original cenobites did feel like an invitation). It just felt like punishment of sorts, not like something those people actually sought out themselves and even then, like something they eventually got used to, not like something is renewed daily because you enjoy it.

Poster:
The Auditor’s makeup originally began as a concept pitch for a new Pinhead look. The new look was thought up when the studio was deciding whether to make a full series reboot. When they decided to go with a direct sequel, the designs were kept and recycled into the Auditor by the makeup team.

Pinhead and The auditor Headcanons
What they think of a funny and nice s/o
Requested: “Wow I didn't think you were going to see my request you have made me happy today, , don't really specify what type I headcanon (I'm so sorry) as you want (whether romantic, platonic or NSFW) no matter how much they are from them, just enlighten me with your writing why there really is almost nothing of them :3 sorry to bother you
Maybe some headcanon (romantic - funny about what they think of her and what they would do for her) of a nice and super funny girl (with pinhead, the auditor and hellraiser's advisor) I don't remember if I specified or not (I swear it's the last time I bother you) I regret it.” -By Anon (Originally in Spanish)

Pinhead
Well he's not used to the nice and funny things in life in general
But having you in his life always being the light in his dark world, it's oddly a breath of fresh air for him
He finds you to be magnificent
He truly and utterly loves everything about you
Though he may not get some of your jokes or anything as long as you explain the joke and punch line he'll catch on
He does enjoy watching you laugh at some of your jokes
He thinks that have such a beautiful smile and laugh that he can't see anything but how beautiful you are
He thinks you are an angel and does not think he deserves you
Believes he's "Bad News" for you
But don't let him think this, assure him that you love him and wouldn't want it any other way and he'll be at mercy yet again
He isn't a gentleman per se but he will treat you like a queen
Like I said before you are an angel to him and he will do everything in his power to keep you safe because he can't bear the thought of losing you
The Auditor
So as his job goes, funny and nice do not come along...ever
There have been times where the victims have been a woman and they have tried to flirt their way out but it never works on him
He has a job to do and will do it right
But oh lord, you being nice to him gives him relief
It makes him happy to think about how nice you are to him
Makes him blush really bad when he thinks about you
How utterly amazing you treat him and how he wants to do the same
Though he's not a night in shining armor or some handsome young man he will not let that stop him from loving you
Thinks you (like pinhead) are light in his dark world
Thinks the world of you, because you are in his words "My whole world."
Loves everything about you especially your little jokes here and there
He gets most of them but some of the longer ones you might need to explain
But some of the shorter jokes he completely embeds into his mind
He will try to tell the same joke but will probably mess it up a few times before getting it right
But it's still nice to see him try
But despite the joke and such he loves, admires, is completely infatuated with you
Tells you every day, no matter what work he has to do how much he loves you
