Hellraiser
Directed by Clive Barker
A puzzle box reveals a realm of sadistic monsters led by a being named Pinhead, who torture the depraved man who unlocks it. Escaping Pinhead's wrath, what remains of Frank hides out in his attic, until a chance encounter leads him to enlist his brother's wife Julia, with whom he had a passionate affair, to lure victims home so Frank can feed off their blood. Clive Barker's essential 80s classic offered audiences weary of slashers a thrilling new alternative: a sexually-charged horror-fantasy with a villain more terrifying"”and goth"”than Freddy or Jason. Contains violence and gore.

Very disappointing. . . over-rated
Legendary horror movie! My favorite franchise of all time and a forever classic that I will never get tired of watching!
Wit fewer than a dozen lines of dialogue Doug Bradley effectively steals the entire movie. Hellraiser is a classic for a reason. A Cronenburg-esq take on BDSM horror. Legendary for its practical effects and sex appeal for a reason. “Whats your pleasure sir” indeed.
One of the best horror movies
this movie is amazing. not a single second is boring, and the special effects are CRAZY!! this is a timeless masterpiece.
