parabéns agora estou com medo de dormir!

I thought it was pretty good. The cenobites were pretty creepy. I think I like the original pinhead better but overall it was good.

I appreciate this franchise getting a decent budget again and while it is better than most of the sequels, it still felt a little lackluster. The cenobite designs were still pretty interesting, but I never truly felt horrified.

This was not the reboot I was looking for. Way overlong and bloated (though aren't most movies these days), Barker's original had no fat on the bone, this has a lot of bits you'll have to poke around. Doesn't do much new other than throw some new designs into the franchise (which look great), the latter half descends into Saw territory. Feels like a mini series stitched together. Seriously though, I mourn the lost art of 90 minute movies. Lean and mean, straight to the point.

It began as a generic horror film featuring poor acting by a bunch of teens doing stupid things and having stupid conversations but it got more and more interesting each time the Pinhead appeared. By the end, the film was redeemed by its slight plot twist and Jamie's incredible performance.
