Clive Barker's Hellraiser made in 1987 delivers darkness beyond imagination as a puzzle box is solved by a character named Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) and then his flesh is savagely ripped apart by chains which appear from the puzzle box then we see a few characters walking around who came out of the box too, the main one being Pinhead (Doug Bradley) who's leader of the cenobites who are these demon figures.

A new family move into a house where Frank died in upstairs but unknown to the family, then Larry (Andrew Robinson) who's the father spills his blood on the floor upstairs after an accident and it resurrects Frank's (Sean Chapman) corpse into a living being and he needs dead victims to grow skin on his bone and become whole again.

.. Ashley Laurence and Doug Bradley give good performances in the original and best Hellraiser in the series. A great horror movie classic.
