Ugh.
Personally, I'd been enjoying the straight to video Hellraiser series we'd been getting (save for Hellworld). That series took a page from the Hellraiser comic book series and told anthology tales revolving around the Hellraiser mythos (with the exception of Hellseeker, no sequel carried on from another).
The last two films in the theatrical series, Hell on Earth and Bloodline, had really disappointed me because they'd lost sight of what Hellraiser was supposed to be about: a look into the personal Hells of individuals and their encounters with Leviathan's Cenobites and the Lament Configurations.
While the straight to video series had been declining in quality, I was still enjoying it up until the end.
As for a remake, Hellraiser is one of those films that absolutely does not feel old or outdated. It works just as well today as it did twenty years ago.
Well, whatever. The original isn't going anywhere, I guess. I'd just like more Hellraiser sequels than a straight up reboot.
