While the movie is unfortunately not available for viewing on Netflix, it is hosted by other parties like Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Other than its unavailability, Henry Cavill's unprecedented presence in the movie gives the audience a whole new perspective on the forty-one-year-old actor. Having made his name as the poster-face of Man of Steel, and other machos of likeness (Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series), it is a fresh theme to be spotting Cavill sporting a teenage face and an unkempt leather jacket as a young people's party for a change, also planting one of his first roles in the industry.

The Hellraiser franchise bases itself off of a puzzle box and how it is used to ensue horrors by the extra-dimensional perpetrators called Cenobites, the most screened and significant of them being Pinhead. Cavill plays one of the six friends, with one having bereaved his family of him. Finding themselves at a party and eventually trapped in separate parts of the houses, the plot follows the horrors that ensue and how the characters tackle them through the premise of the story.

Having laid relatively stagnant for almost seven years before Hellraiser: Judgement was coughed up in 2018, succeeding Hellraiser: Revelations in 2011, it took four more years for the creators to jump on to the reboot bandwagon. The 80s horror classic was reimagined for the pre-futuristic world of the 21st century's twenty-second year, in 2022. With a new story and a new pinhead out loose, the story does not stray far from Clive Baker's novella The Hellbound Heart, trying to purely adapt the gruesomely tragic pinnacle of horror word for word.
