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.

Shamefully, this was my first time watching Hellraiser. I enjoyed the effects and aesthestic, and it was different, but the whole puzzle box thing and random dragon crossed the line into silliness. Shame more wasn't made of Pinhead and co - they look cool but are in it for seconds - almost feel like an afterthought to the main story element of Frank coming back.
The Cenobites run the dark web. "We have such sites to show you. . . "
