"I appreciate the ambition attempted here, but there is simply too much stuff going on and not enough time for the story - and the horror - to breathe." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"The greatest hits approach of taking the best parts of the first three Hellraiser films and combining them into one film is a good idea in theory, but ultimately leads to too many pacing and plotting issues to remain coherent." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
"The original Hellraiser was a film overdue for a top-notch remake, and this is it. Director Pascal Laugier brings the skills that made his film Martyrs a brutal, controversial film, and uses them here." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
