Review of Hellraiser (1987) by David V — 06 Feb 2018
I've heard much about this film, but never viewed it until recently. With 188 pages of reviews and counting, practically everyone knows the story. It's good to see Andy Robinson again. He should have been awarded for his portrait of 'the Scorpio Killer" in the original "Dirty Harry" film.
He also did a fine job as the title character of the "Liberace" telefilm. Frank Baker, playing the derelict, looks much like horror movie veteran Sig Haig, covered in wool. Thirty years since it's release, "Hellraiser" is good, but something is missing.
However, the film is very original and inventive. An award should have gone to the makeup department. Their work is inspired genius.
