I watched Hellraiser for the first time last night and for a horror-lover like myself, this was long overdue. Perhaps it was down to the fact that i put it off until i could muster a moments peace to dim the lights and watch it alone. This, in hindsight, would prove a harrowing plan. It takes little time in setting the scene and its clear the foundations are being laid bare for the onslaught of sheer terror that ensues. Never has a film had me so engrossed as to exactly what new devilry will be next-from the first sight of a skinless Frank Cotton to when Pinhead and his band of Cenobite freaks make an appearance, its clear why Hellraiser has sealed its place in the archives of classic cinema-its bloody terrifying.
Bloody good though.

Welcome to Ciao! :) Sorry for the low rate, but really you've only skimmed the surface of the film. To get a higher rating, you need to put in some background on the film (plot, characters, etc) and your views on the film. If you edit it, send me a guestbook message and i'll re-rate it for you :) Smurf
