Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Having made his reputation as one of the most prolific and gifted horror writers of his generation (prompting Stephen King to call him "the future of horror"), Clive Barker made a natural transition to movies with this audacious directorial debut from 1987. Not only did Barker serve up a chilling tale of devilish originality, he also introduced new icons of horror that since have become as popular among genre connoisseurs as Frankenstein's monster and the Wolfman. Foremost among these frightful visions is the sadomasochistic demon affectionately named Pinhead (so named because his pale, bald head is a geometric pincushion and a symbol of eternal pain). Pinhead is the leader of the Cenobites, agents of evil who appear only when someone successfully "solves" the exotic puzzle box called the Lamont Configuration--a mysterious device that opens the door to Hell. The puzzle's latest victim is Frank (Sean Chapman), who now lives in a gelatinous skeletal state in an upstairs room of the British home just purchased by his newlywed half-brother (Andrew Robinson, best known as the villain from Dirty Harry), who has married one of Frank's former lovers (Claire Higgins). The latter is recruited to supply the cannibalistic Frank with fresh victims, enabling him to reconstitute his own flesh--but will Frank succeed in restoring himself completely? Will Pinhead continue to demonstrate the flesh-ripping pleasures of absolute agony? Your reaction to this description should tell you if you've got the stomach for Barker's film, which has since spawned a number of interesting but inferior sequels. It's definitely not for everyone, but there's no denying that it's become a semiclassic of modern horror. --Jeff Shannon

- Halfway to HellOkay. If you're a hardcore horror enthusiast, I know you're already considering clicking that little "not helpful" button down there. That's fine. I'm not writing this for you. This review is for people who kinda like horror, and who have been told by their hardcore horror enthusiast friends, "You have got to watch HELLRAISER. It's a classic."
Movies are classics for a couple of reasons. Either they are timelessly good or they set the standard for the time with innovative directing, ... Read More

- Excellent movie, decent dvd release*NOTE - This review is based off of the DVD and not the movie.
The Film itself needs no review. Its a classic. Done.
The DVD on the other hand, if you already have a copy of the original release of Hellraiser - there is really nothing different than three interviews on the featurettes. There are however two copies of the script on the DVD-Rom, but other than that - there is nothing different than the previous Hellraiser DVD release. They even just threw in the same interviews ...

- Hellraiser Movie Review from The Massie TwinsThe brilliance behind Clive Barker's Hellraiser doesn't simply lie within his undeniably powerful visuals, but also with his ability to create a singular world of horror, one defined by the terrifying rules of his devilishly unbound imagination. Every facet of this masterpiece screams originality, from blood-soaked nightmares and disturbing surrealism to the imagery of the Cenobites and their twisted realm of pleasure and pain. Few have ever crafted a vision as recognizably frightful and unforgettably chilling ... Read More

- An overrated gore-fest.Hellraiser is an ameteur attempt at making a horror film that matters. It has an erratic plot that is totally lacking in point. This can be forgiven though, as it often is in horror films. It has loads of gore if you're into that, probably more than you'll see in most other horror films. The acting is by far some of the worst I have ever seen, in any genre. The lousy script certainly doesn't help the actors with lines like "come to daddy" being repeated constantly throughout the film. It uses incredibly bad special ... Read More

- the original...therefore the best! Pinhead gives you a scary intro into his world of hell! You will be drawn into it, until the end and then you have to buy the 2nd one! Itll keep you coming back for the scares and gore!
