Hellraiser: Revelations

An ad copy for the DVD and Blu-ray releases hailed the film as coming "from the mind of Clive Barker". In response, Barker, who has had no official involvement with the series following Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996), posted a profanity-laden message to his Twitter feed: "Hello,my friends. I want to put on record that the flic out there using the word Hellraiser IS NO FUCKIN' CHILD OF MINE! I have NOTHING to do with the fuckin' thing. If they claim it's from the mind of Clive Barker,it's a lie. It's not even from my butt-hole."

Doug Bradley was approached to reprise his role of Pinhead, but became hesitant when told that there would be no second draft of the script, which he believed was neither good nor bad, just "not finished." Bradley ultimately declined after being told that his salary from previous films would be, in his words, cut down to "the price of a fridge." He later referred to the film as "a cinematic ash can copy".

Rushed into production after Dimension films realized that a contractual stipulation meant they stood to lose the rights to the Hellraiser series if they did not produce a sequel to 2005's Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005). Consequently, the entire production time was roughly three weeks, including an eleven-day shooting schedule.

The first 'Hellraiser' movie without Doug Bradley as Pinhead.

The first Hellraiser movie since Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996) to use a script written as a Hellraiser movie. Hellraiser: Inferno (2000), Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002), Hellraiser: Deader (2005), and Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005) were all unrelated horror spec scripts owned by Dimension that were hastily rewritten as Hellraiser movies to save money on an original script.
