This looked kinda good, except for the silly pearled needles. But this had zero sexual ambiguity, zero actual moral ambiguity, or philosophying about pain, pleasure, sex, ego, as what made the uneven original so interesting.
The story made little sense, as it was way too patchy.
All in all, this was a mess, and one that failed to capture attention. Even the gore special effects failed to generate squirm or any real unease.
It's like the real inspiration for this was Hellraiser 3. Actually, when I think of it, even the skinned flesh looked plastic, when you get to see it in light, towards the end, they managed to have the cenobites look like toys, rather than the sexual dirty beings of the first movie.
Lastly, yes, the end, how hte writers must have htought htey came up with a clever sort of twist, straight out of a first trimester of creative writer classroom, brfore a pointless epilogue that doesn't add anything to the story. And again failed to provoke.
A huge waste of potential, in my opinion.
