Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Go back to where it all started. Stephen King was once famously quoted as saying, “I have seen the future of horror… his name is Clive Barker.” That future was realized in 1987 with the release of Barker’s directorial debut Hellraiser. Based on his own novella The Hellbound Heart, Barker’s Hellraiser sees Larry (Andrew Robinson) and his wife Julia (Clare Higgins) move into their new home, unaware that something evil lurks beneath the floorboards of the dilapidated house – something that wants human blood… Introducing the world to the iconic Pinhead and his sadistic band of Cenobites, Hellraiser became an instant genre classic upon release and remains one of the most frighteningly original visions in horror.
This release will feature the newly remastered 4K version of the film, as well as an archival interview Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser where the iconic actor discusses his first appearance as ‘Pinhead.’

I dunno I feel like these Cenobites might be a good hang if you get a couple beers in with them
David SimsNov 24, 2019gonna tell my kids this was 50 shades of grey
amayaOct 27, 2020shocked this movie doesn’t seem to have a lot more cultural permeance past Pinhead being considered a genre icon. literally did not know anything else about this movie going into it– took a while to feel like i was locked into its groove, but when i was i thought it was…

- Lennard Huisman likedHellraiser
Well this was something
Isaiah dislikedHellraiserThere’s camp and there’s bad. This was… not camp. Honestly painful to sit through, I don’t see the hype other than for the cenobites designs and certain cinematography choices. Are the sequels supposed to be any better?
Ghazal likedHellraiserthe only part that scared me was the one with the Christ in the closet

- Tendies lovedHellraiser
Yk after seeing her husband can i rlly be mad at her for this
CvptvinHowdy lovedHellraiserI was afraid this was not going to hit the same as it always does, but all the practical effects made me appreciate this even more. I have many fond memories, especially when I was younger and being told this was the forbidden and scariest thing ever lol. Every line Doug Bradley gave as "Pinhead"…
Ryan Tower is "meh" onHellraiserInteresting concept, original story & plot directions. I enjoyed the special effects, the different configurations, and seeing the cenobites for the first time ever solidifies it as a classic. enjoyed the cinematography (urban neonoir). I rate it meh because sexual themes/actors.

Metacritic
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.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Utterly bizarre and entirely ridiculous – and yet effective, an imaginative Guignol festival, like the goriest of soap operas, in which one wrong move opens a portal to hell.
