Review of Hellraiser (1987) by Matt W — 05 Dec 2009
Another Dubut film that has gained (and rightfully so) a massive following in the horror community fan base, now 22 years on since its 1st release the film still looks pretty good, whilst some of the SFX look a tad ropy now, Hellraiser works on many levels still.
And for me Doug Bradley (Pinhead) is fantastic as the leader of the Cenobites, which in part makes this film so sweet. What we have with Hellraiser is a new concept of a man being brought back from hell (one of he best sequences of the film)from his own brothers blood, but its only a matter of time till the Cenobites track him down.
The rest you need to watch for yourself. In my opinion the 1st 3 of these films should be in any self respecting horror film fans collection.
