Despite a few, horrible exceptions like Wishmaster and Friday the 13th, there usually has to be at least one great, original film before eight to ten extremely hackneyed sequels can be created. With this in mind, I must say that the first Hellraiser is one spectacular horror flic. Of course, if you're planning to watch it for the first time now, then the special effects and gore may be a little disappointing due to the fact that it was made in the 80s. However, the plot behind Hellraiser is completely authentic.

All time favorite. Definitely a good classic horror movie.

I had never seen this, only heard great things about it. Excited to sit down and watch it, only to be majorly disappointed by the end. The acting wasn't great but I wasn't expecting Oscar caliber performances, the gore effects were impressive, especially for the time period. I found no likable characters but my issue was with how little Pinhead and the other Cenobites were in the movie. Maybe 3 scenes totaling 5 minutes ? No desire to watch any sequels.

Staple of 1980s horror is given the A+ treatment by the folks at ARROW Video. Exhausting extras make this an easy buy for fans.

Classic film from the 80s. Great bluray and amazing effects. Would definitely recommend that you pick this up if you're a fan of classic horror genre
