Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

adonis98-743-186503 An unfaithful wife encounters the zombie of her dead lover; the demonic cenobites are pursuing him after he escaped their sadomasochistic underworld. Hellraiser is far from being a masterpiece and it definitely has it's fair share of issues regarding it's storyline and character choices but it's also pretty original for sure, the perfomances were good for a horror flick especially and the make up alongside the special effects quite natural. The story was interesting for sure and it's basically a film that is watchable although far from classic by the way. (7/10)

padawanmovies As a child of the 90s I remember seeing video tape covers of Hellraiser and being very frightened of it. I also had gotten it confused with the movie POWDER bc of obvious physical appearance reasons.... I wish I had watched Powder instead. This movie just wasn't very good at all; it wasn't even that scary and I'm Easily scared. Like another reviewer mentioned I had way more questions than answers for this flick; I had no idea as to why anything major was occurring. Julia went thru all of this just for some penis?? Y were hooks the main weapon of choice? How was Frank able to escape? Y were the centobites designed the way they were? (Pinhead would be answered in the 2nd one, which was somehow an even Worse film). I just found myself not enjoying this bc I was asking myself too often "Why is this happening?" Also the graphics were jus bad (they made SHOCKER look like STAR WARS), I would've given them the benefit of the doubt if the movie had been better. I had no clue this franchise was still going on today, have no clue as to why. I jus feel like I watched something TOTALLY different from what fans of this saw. P.S. y did no one smell all those rotting corpses upstairs -_-

LouAbbott I've heard much about this film, but never viewed it until recently. With 361 user reviews and counting, practically everyone knows the story. It's good to see Andy Robinson again. He should have been awarded for his portrait of 'the Scorpio Killer" in the original "Dirty Harry" film. He also did a fine job as the title character of the "Liberace" telefilm. Frank Baker, playing the derelict, looks much like horror movie veteran Sig Haig, covered in wool. Thirty years since it's release, "Hellraiser" is good, but something is missing. However, the film is very original and inventive. An award should have gone to the makeup department. Their work is inspired genius.

jmcd7910 When Clive Barker first burst on the literary scene, I was enthralled. I went out and spent hundreds of dollars on first editions of the six "Books of Blood", which were individual volumes of Barker's short stories. "The Hellbound Heart" was in one of them. That's the story the movie is based on. I bought all his output, in first editions, as it came out. The man is a spectacularly talented writer, though probably insane. But the films- oh, the films. I just rewatched this thing, and it definitely hasn't aged well. Reading the reviews, it's obvious most of the praise heaped upon this is because of the subject matter (which doesn't say a lot about the reviewers), not the film itself. The acting, such as it is, is atrocious. The dialog is juvenile, the characters unbelievable. Andrew Robinson is as sleazy and cringe-inducing as ever, and the special; effects are laughable. It's amazing to me that this piece of trash spawned more than a half dozen sequels. I guess for some, pleasure comes only with a lot of pain. At having to sit through "Hellraiser".
