Details
Movie Description
Clive Barker's feature directing debut graphically depicts the tale of a man and wife who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature--the man's half-brother, who is also the woman's former lover--hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons called the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him human sacrifices to complete his body... but the Cenobites won't be happy about this. One of the best horror films of the 1980s, HELLRAISER is based on Barker's novel THE HELLBOUND HEART and was followed by three sequels.
Synopsis
Always seeking greater pleasures and greater thrills, an explorer uncovers a key to another dimension of unlimited pleasure. The dimension is hell and after he is satiated the demons known as Cenobites rip the flesh from his bones. After his death, he haunts his lover, his brother's wife. She re-animates the adventurer through numerous murders. The key opens creating a hell on earth that consumes the family.
Industry Reviews
"...[The film] has several twists for the devotees of gore to delight in...[It] is well made, well acted, and the visual effects are generally handled with skill..."
Variety - Besa. (05/20/1987)
"...One of the more original and memorable horror movies of the year: a genuinely scary, but also nearly stomach-turning experience by a genre specialist....HELLRAISER is intelligent and brutally imaginative..."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (09/18/1987)
"Barker' original remains distinctive for its disturbing seriousness..."
Sight and Sound - James Bell (12/01/2004)
