- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015In 1987 horror was already becoming predictable, but Barker takes us into uncharted territory that lacks the predictability of this film's horror peers. The victims aren't drunk teens, people don't make horrendously stupid decisions, and things in no way happen as we'd expect them. Even the gore and effects take us down a more rare and satisfying path. This film will fulfill your darkest pleasures. Clive Barker introduces us to Pinhead in this ultra-creepy, practical effect gorefest with a solid story!
Larry (Andrew Robinson; The Puppet Masters, Pumpkinhead 2) and his reluctant second wife move into an old family property in which, unbeknownst to anyone else, his brother Frank had toiled with the powers of evil and now suffers in Hell. Some blood is accidently spilled where Frank was torn apart by an otherworldly evil and this blood initiated the beginning of the transformation of his remains to a rather "incomplete" facsimile of infernal Frank.
This scene is a testament to the patient practical effects of the 80s. We see organs develop from blood droplets and his body slowly finds form from a gory muck. The scene is long and gross, and it includes some creepy stop motion of his decrepit skeletal arms and bloody resurrection. This transformation scene is one of the most memorable scenes in 80s horror.
Now a skinless, weak, macabre husk of his formal self he tempts Julia (Clare Higgins; Being Human) to "help" him by bringing him more blood. Julia clings to an adulterous memory of a past lusty tryst with Frank and wants more. She has no love for Larry but much carnal desire for Frank despite Frank's criminally loveless nature--making this quite the perverse story.
Whereas Frank's desire to be whole again bridges our story from reality to Hell, the keystone is Julia's adulterous desire to be in his arms. As she finds comfort in the murderous means to fully restore Frank, we see her shift from an apathetic (in her marriage with Larry) and effortless housewife to a comfortably made-over black widow. Once she has brought blood to Frank slimy flayed body, she starts to do her hair differently and her make-up looks sharper--more villainous.
Although many scenes occur elsewhere this feels much like a chamber thriller, claustrophobically taking place mostly in the confines of the house. We, like Frank trapped in the attic-like spare room, feel isolated; trapped under a roof with a damned skinless man. The only impediment to Frank's freedom is Larry's daughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence; several Hellraiser sequels, Warlock III), who learns the infernal power of the Puzzle Box and bargains with some demons to return Frank to Hell.
These leather-clad, macabre demons are called Cenobites and they look like members of a devil-worshipping 80s metal band. They include Chatterbox, Butterball, Female and their leader Pinhead (Doug Bradley; Nightbreed). Their monster make-up work is off-putting and their silent demeanor only adds to their malevolence. Their words are few but direly chilling.
The Puzzle Box leads us to the only special effects in the film that don't hold up well. While watching the Puzzle Box being solved is actually very simple (no significant FX involved really) and cool, the Box brings about some effects that resemble Atari-Tron videogame lasers. However, the Box remains powerfully mysterious and it draws our ominous attention whenever it's on screen.
Written and directed by Clive Barker (Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions), this film offers no shortage of gore to compliment the fantastic, effective story. Frank's victims are drained husks of pus and maggots, Frank himself is a horror to behold in his various phases of development, and then we still have other cruel visions, the twisted make-up of Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites, the Puzzle Box opening creepy gates to a somewhat ambiguous Hell, and Frank ultimately being torn apart by hooked chains in another iconic horror scene of the decade.
I find the story and characters every bit as powerful as the gory practical effects and consider this a must see for anyone who considers themselves a fan of modern horror.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 20045 Stars = Masterpiece
I love to read what others say about "Hellraiser," but it never fails to amaze me, even in regards to people who love this film, how much many misunderstand it. People write on & on what great horror icons the "Cenobites" are, & yes this is true, they have made a huge impact to cinema horror, but the "Cenobites" are not what this truly intelligent horror film is about...no, not at all!
This is a film about Frank & Julia. Frank will stop at nothing to find the next thrill, even if it means his physical & metaphysical destruction. Julia is the cool aloof wife of Larry, Frank's brother. Julia is seduced by Frank's dark & sadistic sexual aura, though that same aura lay dormant in Julia until Frank awakened it by seducing Julia before her wedding to Larry. "I'll do anything," Julia desperately confesses to Frank to keep his affection. Little does Julia dream that in the future that will be exactly what she has to do to keep Frank, after he unleashes "the Box," & its horror, the Cenobites. In what is truly an Oscar worthy performance, Julia (Claire Higgins) the aloof, but so far non-threatening wife transforms into the murderous, cold, calculating queen bitch, to resurrect & have Frank. To bad we've not seen more of her in other films.
Yes, "Hellraiser" is about treachery in the family, the worse sort, deception & murder. "Hellraiser" is about blind love. Larry's unswerving devotion to Julia, which makes him the last to know, & seals his doom. "Hellraiser" is about the tragic plight of Kristy trying to save her father. What could be worse than knowing a loved one is going to be murdered & you could not stop it? "Hellraiser" is about real life plausible situations that are better off left alone, the darkest part of the human psyche, to want something so bad you're will to sacrifice anything & anyone to achieve it, maybe even your self. "Hellraiser" aptly uses the theme of don't tempt fate ("the Box"), unless your prepared to be taken by it, as the "Cenobites" so profoundly demonstrate.
So yes, the true monster of this story is ambition & want. The "Cenobites" are just a cataclysmic vehicle (a very disturbing one) to carry Julia & Frank to their just deserts in the end. "Hellraiser" made the "Cenobites" seem like ultimate bogeymen by giving them little screen time & keeping them mysteriously cryptic to the audience, something later films could've benefited from. Thus "Pinhead" & crew were much more menacing & potent in this first, & by far the best, most intelligent film of the series, & in horror cinema.... But again, it was Julia & Frank, & their ambition & want that were the true terrors here. Nothing is more disturbing & horrific than discovering someone(s) you love & trust will eventually murder you.
Chilling!

Joli travail sur l'image, certains plans sont remarquables (netteté, grain, fluidité, jeu des couleurs etc..)
Avec un son qui va avec.

Alice DobieReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Hellraiser 1987 DVD review .
I wanted too say I am a massive horror fan and I have seen some of the Hellraiser movies I have seen Hellraiser Inferno the first one I saw which came out in 2000 that was about a shady police detective someone with a wife and child who comes across the box in Hellraiser then enters a world of sadistic pain and murder too make it clear Hellraiser was the first Slash horror before the noughties Saw and Hostel , well one of the 80’s first in a era full of it mid seventies late 1970’s and early 80’s Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm street and the followed on 1978’s Halloween , and 1974 Texas Chainsaw , Massacre anyway back to Hellraiser the story begins in Morocco where a man called Frank states his highest prize for a puzzle box from a dealer when he tries too solve the puzzle horrifying chains appear which cut his face and tear him apart later the room is filled with swinging chains , and covered with the remnants of his body afterwards a couple move in the house a man called Larry and his wife Julia too try and save their marriage Julia who had a affair with Frank shortly after her wedding too Larry , soon after moving in they discover that the house is quiet filthy and find maggots near a ashtray as found by Julia and a unkempt bed , too say what happens soon as far as I will say Julia discovers Frank upstairs in the attic after Larry Cuts his hand blood goes through the floor which then resurrects Franks Body, a living skeleton as Julia discovers she then realised she still has feelings, she then tries too kill people who she innocently summons to the attic she does this too try and rescue the skin of Franks by giving him body flash , what else’s happens is a rather full on painful ending for Julia and what follows on is a rather pleasing sadistic painful horror ride not for the squeamish, or those who faint at blood I found myself as someone who prefers the clever yet rather violent when needed writing of orphan with the clever and realistic understanding that a couple who have lost a child would adopt a believed rather troubled nine Year old Hellraiser began with all the makings of a rather great horror movie the frightening consequences of opening a box and the nightmares of the coenobites, the rather chilling voice of Pinhead the opening words ‘’It will tear Your Soul apart ‘’ I will say I have seen many Horror movies about six Halloween movies as well well seven and eight and the latest one not four but this is a Gem if You love clever horror with a great story and puzzling mystery too it , rather game form similar too saw the villain Hellraiser is terrifying and ‘’will Tear Your Soul Apart ‘’a Classic 1980’s horror gem one I am glad too add to my DVD horror collection .
