We chat with Hellraiser2022 stars Hellraiser stars adamfaison & Drew Starkey about entering the horror franchise and which were their favorite Cenobites on set:
Hulu's Hellraiser, based on horror icon Clive Barker's novella The Hellbound Heart, arrives on October 7. Barker himself directed the first film in the franchise back in 1987, which has since spawned ten more films as well as written sequels and videogames. Director David Buckner is returning to the roots of the story for the latest iteration, however, and drawing primarily from the first two movies and the original novella for inspiration.
Adam Faison: We tried to honor at least a couple of the first ones, but there's no way to cover all the ones that came after that. Specifically, Bruckner told us, "I really want to honor not just the first couple movies, but the novella." It was really exciting to flesh out the world based on that original source material. There's a lot of nods to fans who know the original and where it came from and stuff.
And it's messy; it's not a lot of clean lines. I think that's what makes it [fun]—at least that's what I was drawn to about it. I'm sure Adam was too. These characters were fleshed out and complex, and it just added more layers to it. But I think, like you said, Riley becomes Colin's chosen family. Because with the disappearance of Matt, he doesn't know where else he's gonna turn to. The one sort of piece he has left is Riley, so he's going to do anything at all costs to basically help her and find her and make sure that she's okay. I think it was really beautiful to get to flesh that relationship out onscreen and off-screen. I love Odessa and Drew, but mainly Odessa—no, I'm just kidding.
And it was cool, because you read them in the script. And then all of a sudden they're in front of you on the day, and you're like, "That's not even close to what I could have imagined." It was such a fun experience to come to work every day and see something new.
