I think this movie shows its age a little more than the original Hellraiser. Like most Clive Barker driven stories it's dark and moody, but a little bit of a hodgepodge of other things you've seen before assembled into one horror-adventure.
What makes this movie work is the talented cast playing the Night Breed characters. It's because they're all so inventive that you care about the story that's woven around them. I can see why it's earned a cult following among people who like these kinds of movies, but I don't think it's so good that it's transcendently entertaining to a mainstream audience.
