- As a Barker buff, I adore this film. At the time it was completely unique in style and tone. It isn't perfect. Barker's direction, and sometimes dialogue, show the efforts of a novice filmmaker, but for an 80s horror movie it was light-years beyond its contemporaries Robinson does a great job, and Bradley is iconic as Pinhead. Laurence's Kirstie was a bit grating, but not terrible. It is such a pity the the series started to devolve as badly as it did. Barker builds a fascinating mythology here and it would have been entertaining to see it evolve had he stayed at the helm.
- Classic horror movie that blends a slasher with cosmic horror, and the acting and story telling is surprisingly good. Stylized film making for the time and the aesthetic of the cenobites still holds up. My only criticism is the ending is rushed and could have been constructed better, but still ends in a pretty cool way.
- WE HAVE SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU. Clive Barker’s Hellraiser peels back the curtain, amongst other things, on a subject that few are willing to talk about, let alone put to screen. Pain and pleasure, two sides of the same coin and expertly deployed by our favorite inter dimensional demons, the Cenobites. This is just an all around a fantastic picture and a staple of 80s horror. A must watch for any fan of the genre. Enjoyed in glorious 4k courtesy of a stellar release from Arrow. Lovely 5.1 track too.
- How do rate Hellraiser other than 5 stars, always and forever, 5 stars. Not only because you watch now in 2026 and it stands-up to time, but also because it was not made this year, it was made long ago when the special effects and genre were not so easy to produce on and off stage. Both for technology of movie making, but also the politics of movie making and the censorship authorities towards this genre at the time. This is part of Americana, and this is a must for anyone who even remotely enjoys horror and gore movies. But really, for anyone that loves movies, point blank!
- Good for its time. I really like the special effects in this movie versus todays traditional CGI. This shows what good prop work can achieve and to think the movie was made in the late 80s. As far as the film goes it pretty slow at times and a bit of that clunky 80s horror (no logic) feel to it. If you can get past that and consider how old the movie is now its actually a pretty decent movie. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to get into the hellraiser universe. However there are a lot of unanswered questions in this one which is why you would definitely want to check out the sequels if you enjoy the lore on this one.
