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.

Probably my favourite 80's horror out of all them. A must see for an horror fan
Classic
love it!
MASTERPIECE! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you do. Very gory, but with great social commentary and artistry in the mix. Good cast, great direction, really good effects, etc. Also recommend the original novella written by the film's director!
It's a classic for a reason.
