Watch Hellraiser (2022) from abroad with a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to Hulu, you won't be able to watch Hellraiser (2022) if you're outside the US. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, and can fool streaming services into thinking that you're located somewhere else in the world.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which we feel is the best VPN. It offers a 100 percent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

3. Then head over to Hulu on your browser or device and enjoy Hellraiser (2022).
