One of the darkest, macabre and gruesome films I´ve ever seen.

As a horror movie, I can't really give this more than a 4. As a movie in general, given when it came out and the character - Pinhead - and how iconic it is, it can have an 8. Watch it for the history and for a solid film from the late 80s. Don't watch it for horror - it's not that scary.

Rather brutal, sometimes really gory but with some exceptional ideas and a few cool horror masks (i.e. Pinhead's or Frank's after his first victim). But other things (i.e. Frank's resurrection, the destruction of the Cenobites) are really cheap made and some dialogs are just silly.

“We have such sights to show you!” I admire the make-up, the creature designs, and the line “Jesus wept”, which was creepy and evil. The image of the creature living in the antic, with the aid of his partner in crime luring clueless victims to their bloody doom, captures the true horror of Clive Barker’s ‘Books of Blood. On the other hand, I feel like I’m the only one to say this, but I must admit, I was a bit bored watching this. I’m a bit shocked to say that. I didn’t think much was on the surface, and it didn’t engage me. But still, the impact it had on horror is admirable.

Random thoughts I had during & after watching:

• The acting is terrible (altho thats probably a product of the time) but the cinematography totally makes up for it! Its kinda like watching The Thing, lots of awesome handmade visual effects
• Its not actually that scary, just gory. Its like More

Hellraiser is probably one of the lesser of the horror franchises from the 80s behind Halloween (yes, I know that came out in 1978), Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. This is a movie I’ve seen a few times over the years and while it’s hardly a perfect horror film with a clunky set-up, More

"Hellraiser" is a dark dark tale about opening a door to an alternate dimension with a puzzlebox and some sexual perversion. This movie was a bit unsettling when compared to the "Halloween" "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" sequels that dominated 1980's horror. "Hellraiser" is a pretty More
