Hellraiser is one of the best horror film series ever. This one, the first in a series of eight, sets the whole feel for the entire series. From the very first minutes of this movie the audience is sure to be hooked. It has a great contrst of simple frame shots to more complex shots when the puzzle box is opened. One minute will be a calm shot of a house or a city then it will turn a complete 160 to very dark and bloody shots. The movie in itself is in the middle of gory, it's not full of blood in every shot but when there is blood there is a perfect amount of it. However I would not recomend watching it if you are squeamish. The character of Pinhead, or as he is refered to in this movie the "Lead Cenabite", is a very mysterious character. At first the audience will think of him as a being of evil, then they will see that he only punishes evil with evil, finaly in the end they see him as an evil being again. The only way to fully understand him is to watch all eight of the Hellraiser movies. This is where the series really catches it's fan base and people get hooked on it. They will watch the first movie, get interested in the story line, watch the rest of the series, and then watch them all over again. Hellraiser is one of those horror movies that will keep you guessing until the end then twist everything you knew about a character around.Read full review
My brother told me about the Hellraiser movies back in the late 80's early 90's so I rented the first couple and totally enjoyed the exagerated blood flow and make-up. These days, computers do most of the special effects but this movie was the work of very talented make-up artists, actors & writers. How can people think up the strange creature designs in the movie and the bizarre story? Sheer genius, I guess. Clive Barker probably never thought the "Hellraiser" movies would be as popular as they are. This is a Classic! TC
It doesn't get much better than "Hellraiser" when people talk about good horror movies. The storyline would be enough to hold the interest of most people; but "Hellraiser" is punctuated with enough blood and gore to satisfy those who aren't squemish. I had to have at least one Clive Barker film and I had done business with this particular seller already. As with the previous DVD, I was very impressed with the excellent quality of "Hellraiser!" I can find no fault whatsoever with this DVD, and the seller is highly recommended!
This movie is so frightening!!! I still cannot watch this movie by myself. It is a typical horror movie but so much more!! The box scared me to death that any square puzzle box I still stay away from! This movie is absolutely NOT for children, they will have nightmares and it's bloody, violent, and has some rough language. My final comment... I still can't watch the scene with the hooks.... ewwwww. It is a worthwhile movie to see. Excellent.
