R T @RT44834321 3 days ago I dont understand how this got so popular. The story had a lot of potential but its drag down by the sheer amount of just people making out and banging. Just make porn if you want to make sex so bad. I understand that the villain was sex driven but come on at one point it just gets exhausting. The acting was ok on most part except for frank. Honestly the special effects are great for the time and most of the practical effects still look great today. The only great thing about is the cenobites.

Blah blah, leather fetish, metal punk BDSM chains and chunks of ripped flesh nightmare material. Very chic at the time. British actors, but set in the US (I think), or is it irrelevant where? A married couple move into a house where the brother-in-law boned the bride and then got sent to Hell when he opened a mysterious box. He is resurrected, or some of him is, when a nasty cut to hubby's hand spills blood on the floorboards. Somehow or other, Mr Viscera persuades the wife, who still yearns for the-best-she-ever-had, to believe it's really him, AND to bring him more victims to aide his continued, erm, reconstitution. Eww! He eventually ends-up wearing his own brother's face, and the adulterous brother was far more handsome, so I'd call that an L, wouldn't you. The daughter gets a-hold of the box and makes a deal to punish the miscreants. Hell awaits! See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 9, 2026 Full of Gore I loved it! See more Brendan B @filmzone Sep 3, 2026 Though the concepts and narrative are complex, it’s pretty easy to enjoy this one. Extra points when then the humans are the bad guys, not the demons. See more Jasmine W @jasniquejewels Aug 31, 2026 a bloody gory cinematic masterpiece hellraiser is awesome and this horror film is truly one that I won't ever stop thinking about. See more Beckham S @beckhamstephenson Aug 24, 2026 By far one of the best horror films I've ever consumed. Hellraiser gets your heart pumping; it's not terrifying, it's not scary, it is sensual and raw. Hellraiser makes you feel so alive. It exists on atmosphere and your interpretation of it, but manages to squeeze in horror with a bit of body horror and gore. It slowly progresses into a world you cannot get enough of. The undertones of self-discovery and sensuality are so real, you start to see the character arcs and the messaging through small lines and gestures in the movie. The script was extremely well thought out, and the small details were on point. The cinematography was smart, humorous and well-thought. The movie gives you small, sweet scares before berating you with quick emotions, you barely get on your feet. It's a rush, and, suddenly, the movie is over before you know it. It's a wonderful and extremely well thought-out film, and I will definitely be watching it again in the future. Totally would recommend it. See more Read all reviews
