Summary: Why Hellraiser is a classic horror film
Review: I love this!The first Hellraiser is such a well done movie!It's one of the best in the series,and you can't have a sequel without an original. Original is the key word here. This movie is one of a kind,Clive Barker wrote it origanaly as a novel(the Hellbound heart) before transforming it into a script and then directing it. Now might I say that this is a definate must for gorehounds everywhere,let's take a look-see, shall we? We've got Frank's skinned corpse thumping around up stairs,skinning rats, and ready to mangulate the unsespecting men whom Julia lures upstairs.Then there's the Cenobites, the demons summoned by the box.And of corse we can't forget the classic in Hellraiser: When Frank gets ripped to pecies by chains with hooks on the ends.The first one set this off and they've been doing it ever sence.I myself am not a true gorehound,but those of you who are go for it. Hellraiser has got seven sequals so far. I can reconise the first one as a classic in the horror movie feild,it's really quite a masterpeice when I think about it. So all in all really great movie,if you're thinking of getting it I say go for it,I know I will,just as long as you've got the stomach for it. This was Deathgirl, telling you why Hellraiser is a classic horror film,It'll tear your soul apart.

Summary: A True Classic Horror Masterpiece!
Review: Simply put, horror movies just don't get any better than this. Anyone who doesn't like this film just isn't a horror fan & must spend the rest of their life watching Sesame Street! (and more disturbingly, liking it!). It might not be the goriest movie ever, but it does has it's moments, the acting is as good as you're going to find in this type of film & the characters are awesome. Pinhead is without doubt THE horror icon. Only Freddy, Jason Vorhees & Michael Myers come anywhere near Pinhead, but it terms of visual presence and downright creepiness they aren't even fit to lace old Pinhead's boots (assuming he wears any). This movie really deserves 10 stars! Nothing before it or since has bettered it as far as out and out horror films go (although the sequel - Hellbound - comes close & it's well worth watching the 2 back to back as they fit almost seamlessly). Take a bow Clive Barker, you mastered your art with this one!

Summary: Clive Barker's best!
Review: I have been a long-time hardcore horror movie buff for many years now. (with such favorites as Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Leatherface) However, there is no other horror film villain like that of the calm, yet terrifying personality of Pinhead. Doug Bradley as the diabolical demon (or angel to some) is quite possibly the most convincing in horror since "A Nightmare On Elm Street" with Robert Englund as Freddy Kruegar! With such popular quotes like, "Nobody escapes us!" and "We Will tear your soul apart!" it just remains in your head and haunts you. The storyline is also very original and easy to follow due to that it doesn't require as much logic and thinking from the viewer. The soundtrack is also very scary and nightmarish and the blood and gore is one of the most disturbing in cinema history! The acting may drag just a LITTLE at times and some character development could be improved a bit, but it's still a horrifying masterpiece by British horror master, Clive Barker. The plot concerns young Kirsty and her father and evil stepmother who move into their new home in England. Little do they know that Kirtsen's father, Larry's brother, Frank had died in that house years before. When Larry cuts himself, the blood drips onto and below the floorboard, where Frank's corpse still lies, bringing him back from the grave (and from hell!) Armed with a mysterious puzzle box called the Lament Configuration, it is the power to unlock the doors to either heaven or hell and barely making it away from her bloodthirsty uncle, Kirsten steals the box and eventually solves the puzzle, releasing a group of monsters called Cenobites (led by Pinhead, obviously) from their imprisonment. Kirsten decides to make a deal with them to lead them to her twisted uncle who escaped hell in exchange for her OWN SOUL! A non-stop nightmare at every corner and plenty of excellent special effects that while being dated by today's standards, still add a chilling touch! Very scary in a gothic manner. I recommend this movie to any horror fan out there! I also recommend "Hellbound: Hellraiser II". (it is even scarier than this one!)

Summary: classical horror
Review: i think hellraiser is a good film(especally if you have 3D surround sound). you open the creepy puzle box opens and you open hell were you find pinhead the creepiest demon ever. clive barker has a great imagination and can really make an horror film. my best line in it is "we have such sites to show you" i doubt any one can forget that one.
the film makes you feel franks pain at the beginning plus you get glued to your television set the first one is the only desent one all the others are quite boring which im not really pleased about..............

Summary: Hellraiser will scare the Hell out of you.Its so scary.A+
Review: This movie is the scariest thing Ive seens since Silence Of The Lambs. This makes Nightmare On Elm Street look like Disney's The Little Mermaid in comparison.Its a much scarier movie than Friday The 13th or the Nightmare On Elm Street movies. Its gory,shocking,disturbing and scary to the nth degree.Watch this now.

Summary: Move over slasher films, a horror story with originality!
Review: Author Clive Barker's shocking directorial debut (based on his novella The Hellbound Heart) about a puzzle box that can sumon demons (one of which has pins stuck all over his head) and open a gate to hell. A man who solved that box escapes hell and persuades his brothers wife to bring him live flesh so he can become human again. Its dark, gloomy, and extremely gory, but Clive Barker gets you "hooked" and won't let go. A true triumph for the horror genre with some real originality. Followed by Hellbound: Hellraiser II.

Summary: IF YOU'RE TIRED OF FREDDY OR JASON, WATCH THIS
Review: FRANK [SEAN CHAPMAN] BUYS A MYSTERIOUS PUZZLE BOX AND WHEN HE OPENS IT, HE IS VIOLENTLY TORN APART FROM LIMB TO LIMB. AND WHEN HIS BROTHER LARRY [ANDREW ROBINSON] AND HIS BROTHER'S WIFE AND FRANK'S FORMER LOVER JULIA [CLAIRE HIGGINS] MOVE INTO HIS OLD HOUSE, HE SOON COMES BACK TO LIFE AS A SKINLESS MONSTER. THIS AIN'T YOUR AVERAGE HORROR FILM! THIS FILM HAS A FEW SHOCKINGLY VIOLENT AND THRILLING MURDER SEQUENCES. VERY WELL DONE AND VERY IMAGINATIVE. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE FILM IS THE CENOBITES, WHICH IS LED BY THE INFAMOUS PINHEAD [PLAYED BY DOUG BRADLEY]. HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS! BASED ON THE CLIVE BARKER NOVEL ''THE HELLBOUND HEART''. FOLLOWED BY FIVE SEQUELS.

Summary: They Really Have Done a Good Horror Film!
Review: This is one of the best horro films ever. This tells about box which a man buys in the Asia. he openes it and goes to Hell. When his relatives come, a man spills blood on the floor and he returns from hell. He has to get more, so a woman helps him to get it...the box causes lots of truobles for a girl too...well see it yourself. The end is very terryfying also. This is very good film and the actors are very good. Everything isn't clear for me but that's what makes this film very good.
