Plot
editWhile hosting a lavish orgy at his mansion, hedonistic millionaire investor, art collector and socialite Roland Voight forces homeless sex worker Joey Coscuna to solve a mechanical puzzle box, which then springs a blade that cuts Joey and opens a portal to another dimension, from which chains fly out and rip him apart.
Six years later, recovering drug addict Riley McKendry lives with her estranged brother Matt, his boyfriend Colin, and their roommate Nora. Riley and her boyfriend Trevor discover the puzzle box in an abandoned storage warehouse. Returning home late, she argues with Matt when he accuses her of relapsing. At an empty park, she solves the puzzle but misses being cut by the blade. TheCenobites,a group of mutilated humanoids, appear and demand another sacrifice. Matt, feeling guilty about his strained relationship with Riley, finds her incapacitated and inadvertently cuts himself on the box while attempting to awaken her. He enters a nearby restroom to clean his wound but then experiences a headache. Outside, Riley notices the box changing shapes before she hears Matt screaming, finding him missing upon entering the bathroom.
Believing the box caused Matt's disappearance, Riley and Trevor track down Voight's former lawyer Serena Menaker at an assisted living facility. Having concealed it in the warehouse, Menaker attempts to confiscate the box from Riley but is cut by the blade and later abducted by the Cenobites. Visiting Voight's abandoned mansion, Riley discovers from his journals that each of the box's 6 configurations require a victim to be marked for sacrifice by its blade. On completion, the holder receives a "gift" from Leviathan, the entity that rules overHell.Riley sees an apparition of Matt and is horrified to discover he has been flayed.
Colin, Trevor and Nora arrive in Trevor's van to take Riley home. While Riley explains her findings to Colin, Nora hits a switch in the bar that opens a secret passage. Trevor inadvertently shuts the door, trapping her inside the passage, and as he attempts to rescue her, the mutilated Voight, concealed inside the walls, stabs her with the box. The group escapes the mansion to seek help, but the Cenobites abduct Nora, who is taunted, tortured, and fatally flayed in a decrepit hallway by their leader,the Priest.The van crashes after Riley sees a reflection of Nora's torture in the rearview mirror, whereupon the Priest appears. After Riley refuses the Priest's offer to exchange Matt for two sacrifices, she is ordered to sacrifice either two people or herself. After a Cenobite known as theChattererinjures Trevor, Riley solves the next configuration and stabs the Chatterer, who is ripped apart as the next sacrifice.
The trio retreats to the mansion, realizing the steel doors will bar the Cenobites from entering. Leaving Trevor to rest, Riley and Colin plan to trap a Cenobite known as the Asphyx as the last sacrifice, but she drops the box. Voight appears, picks it up, and stabs Colin, revealing that he sought "sensation" after completing all of his sacrifices, but instead, a contraption was attached to him that randomly twists his nerve endings. He privately speaks with Trevor, revealing he employed him to locate suitable humans, then completes the final configuration and traps the Cenobites, demanding they ask Leviathan to free him. While Leviathan appears above the mansion, Riley retrieves the box, unlocks the steel doors, and rescues Colin from torture by stabbing Trevor, marking him as the final sacrifice. Meanwhile, the Priest warns Voight that his reward can only be exchanged and not revoked; he accepts her offer of "power" and is released from his contraption and healed, only for Leviathan to immediately impale him with a large chain and lift him away.
With the sacrifices completed, the Cenobites offer to resurrect Matt. Riley declines, realizing their gifts will bring pain, and decides to accept Matt's death. After the Cenobites praise her for choosing the Lament Configuration, a life of regret with bitter and brief suffering, they vanish and the box resumes its cube configuration. As the duo leaves the mansion, Colin asks a silent Riley if her choice was justified; meanwhile, inside Leviathan's realm, Voight is brutally transformed into a new Cenobite.

Throughout 2010, further pitches were given byChristian E. Christiansen,Cory Goodman, and from writing duoJosh Stolbergand Peter Goldfinger.[33]By August, the reboot had taken a back seat at Dimension Films, as production commenced onHellraiser: Revelations;greenlit primarily to retain the rights to the property.[34]In October 2010, Christiansen was reported to be in the running for director whileAmber Heardwas considered for the lead role.[35][36]Mere days later, it was officially announced thatPatrick LussierandTodd Farmerwere to direct and write, respectively, arebootof theHellraiserfranchise. The story would have differed from the original film, as Lussier and Farmer did not want to retell the original story out of respect for Barker's work, instead focusing on the world and function of the puzzle box. During their tenure on the project, Lussier and Farmer had worked out numerous ideas beyond a simple reboot. One idea was aprequelstarringWilliam Fichtneras Pinhead, while another pitch had Pinhead portrayed by a woman.[37][38]However, in 2011, Farmer confirmed that both he and Lussier were dropped from the project.[39][40]
In October 2013, Barker announced that he would be directing and writing the film, andDoug Bradleywas to return in his role asPinhead.[41]A year later, Barker stated that a second draft of the script was completed and described the film as a "very loose" remake of the original film, but said that he may not direct the film.[42]In March 2017, Barker said that the film's "script was written and delivered to Dimension years ago. That was the last anyone heard until news of a sequel surfaced."[43]After the successful release of the 2018 horror sequelHalloween,Miramaxconfirmed that it was considering beginning production on new installments to theHellraiserfranchise.[44]
In May 2019,Gary Barberannounced thatSpyglass Media Groupwould be developing a new remake ofHellraiserto be written and co-produced byDavid S.
