Kirsty Cotton: Who are you?
Lead Cenobite: Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others.
From Clive Barker, this is a very sick and twisted horror film that brings nightmares to life. That is a fairly generous opening sentence, which makes...( read more)
An indulgent film by Clive Barker who didn't have much experience in directing and sadly at times it shows. Still, the story is strong and the gore and sadistic horror plentiful, even the worst acting ever has not prevented it from becoming one of the best horror films of all time.
Ah, yes, Hellraiser. I've finally watched it, and having been pleasantly surprised last month by The Midnight Meat Train, I wanted to see what else Clive Barker has been putting out over all these years. Well Hellraiser certainly didn't do anything for me. It's exactly the kin...( read more)
A lot of people on this site are moaning that HELLRAISER isn't all that scary . Well define " Scary " ? opening an electricity bill and finding that it exceeds your life savings causes my heart to miss a few beats but will anyone be making a horror film about someone getting a ma...( read more)
Uncle Frank was freaky!!!! This movie still scares me now after all these years. So dark and creepy.
I Have so many things to complain about in this movie som im not gonna say anything...
Im just gonna say that this movie is a piece of shit and everyone that likes it can go fuck themselfs.
Otro de mis terrores infantiles y la verdad es que el tiempo le ha dado duro por lo menos a la parte de los efectos, al maquillaje le va mejor, la historia un tanto sin mucho sentido pero resulta divertido.
Clare Higgins lo mejor!!!!!!!
Great classic horror story that concerns nothing but torture. I love how over the top Uncle Frank was and just how completely nuts the story was. I think the idea of a torture box was great and the fact that it unleashed a pack of Cenobites. The visual effects were great, some of...( read more)
This movie makes me so happy I want to cry afterward.
Can't explain it. Just do not know why this movie appeals to me so much. The nightmarish, visceral effects that were top notch in the 80's and seemingly cannot be topped today.
The lighting of the scenes in the attic and...( read more)
If you consider yourself a fan of this movie but have not read Barker's "The Hellbound Heart" you are missing in action. This is the story which Hellraiser was taken from and it gives a little insight into the characters and provides some depth to the characters that the movie did not portray. So if you think this movie is the shet go do your homework and read the book. It's short.
PINHEAD IS ONE SEXY DUDE! If i could ever get the pins out of him Id love to romp with him in the bed! All the Hellraisers rock! Gotta love Clive Barker!
Frank really layed the pipe down on Julia on her wedding night!!!Frank stole his brother's wife ,then got her to kill him then tried to bang his own niece! That's some cold blooded shit!! Oh yeah Pinhead and the cenobites were cool too lol
One of the most original horror movies of all time.
We'll tear your soul apart!
