1/5
One of the WORST movies ever made
by Daniel Vasquez
I really don't understand all the positive reviews this movie has, i can only imagine that most of them come from people that saw the movie in it's own time, and maybe in some warped up, currently unexplainable way, back then it was something to watch. But in the present though, and having watched this movie recently, after hearing about it for a long time, i have to say this is one of the most mediocre movies i have EVER seen. Merely making it to the ending was a chore, i usually try to finish movies i start watching, but this one had me heading for the hills.
It is NOT scary, it is NOT interesting, it is NOT anything. It's just a mindless gorefest, for which nothing of what is shown is explained, not even why these demons from another dimension seem to like rubber so much. It's just plainly BORING, after this i tried to see if there was any hope for the series by attempting to watch the sequel, couldn't get past the first 20 minutes. There's few movies that leave such a huge negative mark on me, that their mere mention can even eliminate any mood to watch movies, but this certainly is one of them, i can't stress it enough, it is HORRIFYING.
Even the old friday the 13th and freddy kruger movies, that gold old after a couple of sequels, are more tolerable to watch than this huge piece of crap. If you appreciate good horror movies, stay away from this.
2/5
silly humans and some cheesy effects
by Viva (So. Cal.)
The blood is too thick and gooey, the skin with hooks in it is very obviously latex, and the Cenobite with the shades is more goofy than scary.
Also, I must point out the silliness of some of these humans and of the plot elements:
1. Why did the pleasantly bland fellow get remarried to such a horrible woman?
2. If you see that your dad's head is bleeding for no apparent reason, wouldn't you immediately assume that something is terribly wrong?
3. Who the heck moves into a house with rats and bad plumbing when they don't have to?
4. Why is the word "Cenobite" never really explained?
5. When a homeless guy comes into your place of business and starts eating bugs, wouldn't you call the police?
And so on.
There's such a fine line between silly and scary, isn't there?
4/5
A Different Kind of Monster
by KF (Lexington Park, MD)
I always truly appreciate a movie or a book that has a villain or a monster that is based on an original concept. The Cenobites aren't slashers, or vampire-type creatures, or any other cliche monster. They're the denizens and worshippers of a Hell whose purpose is not punishment, but pursuit of pleasure through torture. Disturbing.
3/5
Clive Barker's Hellbound Heart adeptation is fairly good
by My Finger Points (California, US)
After reading Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart(Hellraiser's inspiring story)before watching Hellraiser I've noticed many discrepancies between the two, and id say the novel is better. However if you haven't read the book I believe you'll enjoy this movie(despite some weak acting). I don't want to summarize the movie but I will say it is twisted and disturbing even up to today's standards. The DVD set is fairly solid and the visuals have been improved. It contains one disc with the widescreen movie(93 minutes), 5 interviews(ea. about 15 mins), theatrical and TV trailers, Commentary, a slide show, and first and final screenplays. Overall its worth buying, but READ THE NOVEL AFTER WATCHING HELLRAISER.
Hellraiser Summary
In A Place Between Pleasure And Pain, There Is Sensual Experience Beyond Limits. And In A World Between Paradise And Purgatory, There Is A Horror That Feeds The Souls Of Evil.
Having made his reputation as one of the most prolific and gifted horror writers of his generation (prompting Stephen King to call him "the future of horror"), Clive Barker made a natural transition to movies with this audacious directorial debut from 1987. Not only did Barker serve up a chilling tale of devilish originality, he also introduced new icons of horror that since have become as popular among genre connoisseurs as Frankenstein's monster and the Wolfman. Foremost among these frightful visions is the sadomasochistic demon affectionately named Pinhead (so named because his pale, bald head is a geometric pincushion and a symbol of eternal pain). Pinhead is the leader of the Cenobites, agents of evil who appear only when someone successfully "solves" the exotic puzzle box called the Lamont Configuration--a mysterious device that opens the door to Hell. The puzzle's latest victim is Frank (Sean Chapman), who now lives in a gelatinous skeletal state in an upstairs room of the British home just purchased by his newlywed half-brother (Andrew Robinson, best known as the villain from
Dirty Harry
), who has married one of Frank's former lovers (Claire Higgins). The latter is recruited to supply the cannibalistic Frank with fresh victims, enabling him to reconstitute his own flesh--but will Frank succeed in restoring himself completely? Will Pinhead continue to demonstrate the flesh-ripping pleasures of absolute agony? Your reaction to this description should tell you if you've got the stomach for Barker's film, which has since spawned a number of interesting but inferior sequels. It's definitely not for everyone, but there's no denying that it's become a semiclassic of modern horror.
