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.

One of the greatest horror movies of all time. The character design in particular is exquisite, and the world-building hits the perfect sweet spot between giving you enough information to *get* it, while also leaving much of this universe in delightfully shrouded mystery.
Classic.
One of the best.
For some reason, I thought that I had seen this before. I guess it was because I have seen Pinhead everywhere, lol. But I guess that I had not. I will say though that I wished I had, this show is a true classic, something about 80's horror that I love, this one is pretty high on the awesome meter. Watch it, love it, guaranteed.
a true classic
