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.

Classic!
Simply one of the best!
Can be a little hard to follow and has a bizarre flow to it, but it's overall entertaining. The gore ranges from good to laughable. Shows its age, only in the FX and VFX departments (and haircuts, sheesh) department though.
Fantastic
