There’s some gross parts like when Andrew Robinson gets a smooch. Parental advisory for this on IMDb was a wild ride: “Man holds niece, likely liking the embrace for sexual reasons”. I know if I open this puzzle box I’m going to have my balls ripped off with hooks by stupid English sex demons but maybe, just maybe that won’t happen.

It's POSSESSION meets LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS but treats its silly premise with such a deadly, self-serious earnestness that the opportunity for any 'fun' with the material is quashed; the establishing motivation for Higgins makes little to no sense, because there is no sense of chemistry (or even connection) between her and 'Frank'. Cheesy, queasy make-up effects do little to liven proceedings, and there are no scares (jump or otherwise) at all. A disappointment, given its reputation.

You can't convince me the plot makes any sense, but Barker's vision of hell on earth is quite alarming. The film is so full of ideas and enough stick to make this horror classic worth revisiting.

This Clive Barker original was one of those early horror movies I can remember seeing as a far-too-young-kid, and by seeing, I mean periodically peering through the cracks between my fingers with my hands over my eyes, which means by remember, I mean the horrific practical effects imagery and iconic Cenobites, but not so much of the story or characters. Sadly now after seeing the entire film, I'm not sure the movie actually comes all together beyond the imagery and a few interesting ideas.

Some amusing mythology in backstory of the Cenobites and Hellraiser box and all that and the creature design and practical effects are just tremendous here (the Pinhead design, iconic). I don’t find the movie itself to be that fun or scary though, with this zombie loser just hanging out in an attic the whole movie shuffling around and murdering nobodies, and the puzzle box shenanigans in the climax just get altogether goofy.

A queasy combination of eroticism and body horror that still feels trangressive. Probably my favourite horror film.

Althouhg Hellraiser is most remembered for its visual effects and creepy looking demons, it isn't the brutal body horror or the supernatural elements that make the movie so unsettling: The real horror comes from our human protagonists. It is a deeply flawed movie, but what it does well it does so spectacularly that the flaws are easily forgiven.

A near-perfect concept aside, "Hellraiser" is a film that lives and dies by its own depravity, a senseless, repetitive slog that does very little with a host of now iconic visual creations, and even less with a core concept better suited to the page than the silver screen. It does have its strengths though, found mainly in its routinely competent Cinematography, but more often than not "Hellraiser" pointedly settles for relative mediocrity when it could've so easily been a game changer. Pass.
