“Hellraiser: Judgment” (*** out of four) was an unexpectedly stylish 10th (!) entry in the horror series about two brother cops (Damon Carney and Randy Wayne) who are forced to team up with a homicide detective (Alexandra Harris) to solve a series of gruesome murders which leads all the way back to the demonic killings of Pinhead (Paul T. Taylor). No one will mistake this for the 1987 original but by the series’ fairly low standards by now- this is solidly made and entertaining, with dazzling cinematography by Samuel Calvin and sharp writing and direction from Gary Tunnicliffe. Fans of the series should definitely check this out and horror fans will note Heather Langenkamp in a small but key role.
