Review of Hellraiser (1987) by Richard Harrington for Washington Post — 01 Jan 2000
Hellraiser is certainly a cut or two above the slasher films that seem to proliferate on Friday the 13ths and Halloweens. It's a decidedly adult picture, with some disquieting sexual tensions that simply wouldn't work with the usual teen crew.
It's also a treatise on the thin line between pleasure and pain and how easily crossed it can be.
