While masked killers in horror movies are able to return time and again without much worrying about the ages of the costumed performers, it’s a wholly different ball game for actors whose faces become synonymous with the characters. Such as it goes for Doug Bradley, who entered horror history’s hallowed halls as Hellraiser’s key Cenobite, later dubbed Pinhead. The actor’s last fully fleshed-out Pinhead performance came 24 years ago, but both he and franchise creator Clive Barker have reunited to raise some Hell in a completely different way.
Get ready for a new era of interactive sadomasochism with Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, the new (and excellent-looking) horror video game from the teams at Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games. It's not a video game adaptation of the original film, in case the colonized title wasn't a big enough clue, but rather a newly crafted narrative that will put players in control of a certain puzzle box, with the overall task of fucking up every last Cenobite that gets in the way.
