Once anything that wasn't originally based in space goes there, I give up on the franchise. It is just a terrible idea.
Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2 were both very good. Hellraiser 3 sucked because they just gave up and made it another stupid slasher movie. I believe it was the 4th one that was in space, that was pretty dire. I've not seen any since then.
I think a remake would be a bad idea. I can see the demon who chases Kirsty through Hell (The Engineer?) and the hobo-dragon being bad CGI which would be a mistake. I just think that the original was pretty much perfect for its day and the gory/splattery parts will seem overdone for gross-out value with modern special effects.
