Review of Hellraiser (1987) by Mare Q — 04 Jan 2010
SUMMARY.
Horror flick starring Doug Bradley, Ashley Laurence and Clare Higgins. based on Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart. written and directed by Clive Barker.
Man finds box. man receives all kinds of kinky pains and pleasures. man is killed. man's lover and her husband move into old abandoned house, where he once lived. the lover discovers he is dead... sorta. man must convince lover to do horrible things so that he can be whole again and they can once again be together.
MY TAKE.
Disgusting, yes. but scary, no. I mean, come on... the dripping, oozing dude was just nasty. and the whore that wants to get it on with him... even worse!
It made me laugh once or twice, but mostly it just made me sick to my stomach. I honestly don't know how I ever thought this film was scary.
Another film that is way over-hyped.
