Hellraiser got Genderswapped
Hellraiser, the Acupuncture angel of torture or cenobite, is back with a new look. Also, a new set of genitals because the infamous cenobite is now female. They are making the Pinhead female truer in the source material. In the Novella The Hellbound Heart, It is stated that Pinhead has a female-sounding voice and appears to have androgynous features. Since Pinhead is a genderless entity, any performer, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, is free to take on the character’s role. David Bruckner, who directed horror films The Night House and V/H/S, is given the honors of directing this remake.
They decided back then since they found a male villain pursuing a female protagonist scarier. If you prefer the male Pinhead, the old movies are always available, and he is a playable killer in Dead by Daylight.
The casting of Jamie Clayton as Pinhead gets praise from the fans because her portrayal is closer to the source material.
Clayton’s breakout role as Nomi in the Sense8 from Netflix cemented her as a household name. The original had quite dated special effects that didn’t age well, so this remake looks like a more intimidating and visually stunning recreation.
