Description
The controversial story begins about a man and wife moving into an old house but discovering something strange that seems to be a terrible creature. This hideous creature is the half-brother of the man, who is also the lover of the former woman who is hiding on the top floor. This strange creature lost its earthly body to three demons of S & M, Cenobites, but was brought back to life by a drop of blood. The ugly creature begins to force his former mistress to sacrifice his human sacrifices to complete his body in a hideous and terrifying way.

Barker's vision cribs equally from the mythos of vampires and zombies, but Hellraiser's overriding ridiculousness (and nagging budgetary shortcomings) can't disguise the fact that the movie is at least unwittingly a product of the AIDS crisis.

Gore-torture-horror-ghoul fantasy from the '80s.
January 01, 2000
This is a movie without wit, style or reason, and the true horror is that actors were made to portray, and technicians to realize, its bankruptcy of imagination.

...an entertaining and downright creepy piece of work...
January 01, 2000
It's a dark, frequently disturbing and occasionally terrifying film that suggests Barker's vision hasn't quite made the conversion from paper to celluloid.

For all that it is an incredible, and incredibly disturbing, film to look at, Hellraiser doesn't entirely click as a narrative.

Minor grisly fun, but don't expect the movie to linger when it's over.

Sharp grim direction and tight writing from Clive Barker who turns his story of a puzzle box invoking the forces of hell in to an experience rather than doing the work for us...

"This isn’t for your eyes”", says the demonic Cenobite –- but he is so very wrong about Clive Barker'’s must-see horror.

[Writer/Director Clive] Barker's dazzling debut as a director creates such an atmosphere of dread that the astonishing visual set pieces simply detonate in a chain reaction of cumulative intensity.

Not only did it revolutionise horror and force mainstream critics to accept that it could ... have real artistic weight, it captured a moment in time when social and sexual mores were shifting in a fascinating way.
