Review of Hellraiser (1987) by Originaldanger — 10 Sep 2020
Hellraiser made in 1987 is a horror classic... A man died upstairs inside a house after solving a puzzle box and his body is resurrected from beneath the floorboards when his brother spills blood on the floor and he needs fresh blood from humans to grow skin on his resurrected body.
Doug Bradley is good as the leader cenobite who comes out of the box and the other demon cenobites and evil helpers also rock. This is by far the best Hellraiser in the series and it's very gory more than anything and pretty dark.
Andrew Robinson is also great as Kirsty's (Ashley Laurence) dad but I kind of feel sorry for him near the end as he's butchered and that's when the cenobites catch up with Frank Cotton. Excellent horror film and one of it's best in it's genre.
