Review of Hellraiser (1987) by Alex D — 15 Apr 2012
A very good adaption of the original novella but one that has worn oddly with time. The horror elements are, for the most part, superbly done and there is no denying the presence of the Cenobites, Pinhead in particular.
The final creature hasn't worn well and looks pretty poor and the thinness of the material really slows the pace compared to a modern movie. Taking into account 80's aesthetics you can still have a good time.
