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.

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.
Not just one of the greatest horror movies, but one of the best movies ever period. Plot, acting, effects, costuming, just gripping and thrilling from minute one to the end.
One of my all time favorite films. The cast did such a phenomenal job! Love me some Cenobites!
