Hellraiser
Directed by Clive Barker
A puzzle box reveals a realm of sadistic monsters led by a being named Pinhead, who torture the depraved man who unlocks it. Escaping Pinhead's wrath, what remains of Frank hides out in his attic, until a chance encounter leads him to enlist his brother's wife Julia, with whom he had a passionate affair, to lure victims home so Frank can feed off their blood. Clive Barker's essential 80s classic offered audiences weary of slashers a thrilling new alternative: a sexually-charged horror-fantasy with a villain more terrifying"”and goth"”than Freddy or Jason. Contains violence and gore.

Genius. Doesn't get any creepier than this masterpiece. I love it. One of the strangest films ever made. That's not hyperbole.
A classic through and through. Weird and freaky and fantastic. It may not be for everyone but for me it is truly terrific. Clive Barker is master of the strange and terrifying. I strongly recommend reading his novels and short stories.
Buh-rilliant!
"Would you like to solve my demonic Rubik's Cube?" Not a huge fan of the Hellraiser series. It has some interesting ideas, but how it is executed is weird. I don't really get what the big deal is about this movie.
Decent movie! A little weird but still enjoyed it.
