Hellraiser [DVD] [1987]
Having made his reputation as one of the most prolific and gifted horror writers of his ... more
generation (prompting Stephen King to call him
"the future of horror"), Clive Barker made a
natural transition to movies with this audacious
directorial debut from 1987. Not only did Barker
serve up a chilling tale of devilish originality,
he also introduced new icons of horror that since
have become as popular among genre connoisseurs as
Frankenstein's monster and the Wolfman. Foremost
among these frightful visions is the
sadomasochistic demon affectionately named Pinhead
(so named because his pale, bald head is a
geometric pincushion and a symbol of eternal
pain). Pinhead is the leader of the Cenobites,
agents of evil who appear only when someone
successfully "solves" the exotic puzzle box called
the Lamont Configuration--a mysterious device that
opens the door to Hell. The puzzle's latest victim
is Frank (Sean Chapman), who now lives in a
gelatinous skeletal state in an upstairs room of
the British home just purchased by his newlywed
half-brother (Andrew Robinson, best known as the
villain fromDirty Harry), who has married one of
Frank's former lovers (Claire Higgins). The latter
is recruited to supply the cannibalistic Frank
with fresh victims, enabling him to reconstitute
his own flesh--but will Frank succeed in restoring
himself completely? Will Pinhead continue to
demonstrate the flesh-ripping pleasures of
absolute agony? Your reaction to this description
should tell you if you've got the stomach
forHellraiser, which has since spawned a number of
interesting but inferior sequels. It's definitely
not for everyone, but there's no denying that it's
become a semiclassic of modern horror.--Jeff
Shannon

DVD Description

The spine chilling tale of a man brought partially back to life by the blood of his brother. He befriends his sister-in-law who agrees to supply the blood he requires to live, but he is still haunted by the evil forces which held him captive in death.

Adapted from his own novel. 'Hellbound Heart', HELLRAISER marked the directorial debut of British horror writer Clive Barker. Barker's direction—which comes across like the perfect fusion of the themes and aesthetic sensibilities of Dario Argento and David Cronenberg's best work—is assured, and the film permeates with a unique combination of the perverse and macabre. A modest success at the time of release, HELLRAISER spawned a slew of sequels and would elevate its villain, Pinhead, to the pantheons of classic horror monsters.

Hellraiser: Bloodline and Inferno
Review of Hellraiser - Inferno/Hellraiser - Bloodline (DVD) by  steve0898

Advantages: Good storytelling, amazing special effects
Disadvantages: No DVD extras

.... On the other hand it has more similarities with the book than Hellraiser 2, 3 and 4. Good actors, some good SFX, a dark, violent atmosphere and an entertaining story sum up to one of the best sequels for a long time. The dissapointing thing with the release it that it doesn't haven't any extras at all on the DVD, big shame!! You can get the DVD for around £9 which is quite good in my opinion for two films. Thanks for reading!... Read review

Review of Hellraiser - Inferno (DVD) by  Mutalisk

Advantages: Features Doug Bradley, some decent special effects, at least its short,
Disadvantages: Widdles on the franchise, terribly directed, atrocious cast and acting, terrible plot, melodramati

...Released in 2000, Hellraiser Inferno is the fifth installment of the Hellraiser Series. So far there have been 7 sequels to the first film, with a re-imagining of the original currently in production. The films get progressively worse. Hellraiser V went straight to DVD. Basically, a morally reprehensible police detective Joseph Thorne, (Craig Scheffer) who cheats on his wife on a regular basis with a string of prostitutes and never visits his retirement home-bound parents, finds himself involved in a mystery case involving a number of bloody ritualistic murders. Stumbling across the Lament Configuartion Puzzle Box, an item which acts as a plot device in all of the Hellraiser films to open a dimensional gateway into a reality of pure chaos, Thorne finds himself facing his own personal demons in the throws of some psychotic episode...

Hellraiser: InVerno
Review of Hellraiser - Inferno (DVD) by  iateamonkey

Advantages: Better than the first 3
Disadvantages: Not enough of Pinhead

...Made in the year 2000. The fifth part of the Hellraiser series (there are 8 of them), starring Craig Sheffer (Detective Thorne) from Draula II as a cop whos world is turned around by the puzzle box. After cheating on his wife with a hooker, his world is turned around by Pinhead who comes along after Detective Thorne opens the box whilst high on cocaine. It leads to a new side of sadism from the Cenobites who torture him mentally and physically over a long period of time. Instead of the usual torture of the person who solved the box, they go after those near him to get him to go insane, killing the prostitue, going after his snitches and also terrifying his family. Directed by Scott Derrickson who brough you The Exorcism of Emily Rose - a bad Exorcist knock off in 2005 Length - 95 minutes Subtitles - English Rating - 18... Read review
