Earlier this year, HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT, the tenth installment in the HELLRAISER franchise, was filmed in Oklahoma with the series' longtime special effects artist Gary Tunnicliffe at the helm. With the movie now in post, Tunnicliffe took to his personal website to share a few words about the making of JUDGMENT, as well as some behind-the-scenes images.
Citing Hieronymus Bosch, Francis Bacon, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, David Fincher, and Clive Barker as sources of inspiration, Tunnicliffe promises that HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT will have moments unlike any other you have ever seen, "some of the strangest, most bizarre, horrific and thought provoking sequences ever".
The film's story centers on
a police officer’s pursuit of a serial killer who undergoes a final accounting of his soul by creatures of the underworld.
Damon Carney stars as Detective Sean Carter, with Randy Wayne as Detective David Carter, Alexandra Harris as Detective Christine Egerton, Jeff Fenter as Karl Watkins, Helena Grace Donald as Jophiel, Grace Montie as socialite Crystal Lanning, FEAST / PIRANHA 3DD director John Gulager as The Assessor, Diane Goldner as The Cleaner, Andi Powers as a member of a hellish jury, Mike Jay Regan as Chatterer, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET's Heather Langenkamp as a foul-mouthed landlady, and Paul T. Taylor as the iconic Pinhead.
In the above image, you can see Tunnicliffe doing some touch-up work on a skinless person, while below he and Carney examine the Lament Configuration puzzle box. Tunnicliffe also shared the first look at new hellish characters The Surgeon and The Butcher.
Looks promising to me, now we just need to hear of a release date.
