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.

Five red skulls but a bitch ain't one
Incredible vibe and visuals.
Pretty scary and gross.
I think more movies should end with a giant skeleton dragon that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie and never comes up in the sequels
Absolute classic! A couple of the effects are showing their age, while others still are mindblowing even today! It's a genre defining classic that is certainly worth your time (same can be said for Hellraiser 2 - after that, nah, don't ruin the ride!). But, one of my all time favourites!
