I feel you have to look at this movie as a stand-alone movie. Remakes are rarely if ever better than the original movies! So, I think it was way too harsh and unrealistic to compare this movie to the original which was made 30 plus years ago!!! When you saw the original, all the shock factor was new, so now seeing the remake, even if the graphics are a lot better, naturally there just isn't much shock factor. The film by itself is a decent film, keeps you entertaining and invested. The flaws with this film: the main character is highly annoying, selfish and bratty and it's hard to root for her or empathise. Some of the character decisions were so annoying and highly unrealistic. I think the acting generally isn't the greatest but definitely isn't the worst either. The film was decent and worth a watch, especially if you haven't seen the original Hellraiser Movies.
