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.

Very suspenseful and very different horror movie classic not like Halloween or Friday the 13th
We will rip up your soul into small pieces!
I wouldn't really call this a "good movie", but a nutty film-making absurdity. It's the definition of 80's cheese and worth watching for sure despite the lack of depth in the plot.
As a child, it taught me the definition of sadistic. Still holds up very well to this day.
