The Reckoning (2020)
Better than expected and with a twist
You would think that movies like this would follow the sane formula. It takes place during the time when women were blamed for everything and then accused of being a witch. The film depicts the depravity of men and false beliefs. And how easy it is to convince people and then will follow and perpetuate the lie. As the movie goes on the viewer is made to believe that she will succome to the accusations. And why not? She's as good as dead either way. Instead of taking the devils offer she remains faithful to God and is rewarded with the gift of vengeance. There is a deeper meaning here. Most will ignore it. Few may get it.
Hellraiser (2022)
Why bother
Remaking any movie is a waste of time. Remaking a classic or cult favorite is monumental waste of time and an insult to the original and the people involved in making it. This reimagination, rebooting or "new take" on an old movie sucks. And the practical effects and makeup....don't even get me started. At least I was hoping to see a more sinister version of Pinhead. But like they say, you can't make the wheel any more round. It's very hard to top something thats already on top. The acting was horrible. It seemed that the lighting was meant for the audience not to really see this disaster. The script was cheap and void of anything original. Here's a good idea. Why don't these new movie makers pick up a good book, one that hasn't been beaten to death, and make a good, original movie. All this tells the audience is that there is no original thought and a severe lack of imagination. Do not waste your time. But you probably will. I certainly did.
