This is a pretty epic horror flick directed by the great, Clive Barker, “Hellraiser”. The man responsible for bringing us the iconic horror character, Pinhead, played by the great, Doug Bradley. The film was also written by Barker as well, adapted from his own novel, “The Hellbound Heart”. This film is good ’cause it’s not really a slasher flick. It actually has a story, and a plot! It’s about a couple who moves into an old house, and discover this creature, which used to be the wife’s former lover. This creature lost most of his body to a trio of demons called, the Cenobites. He is brought back to life by the Cenobites, and forces his former lover to bring him blood, in order to complete his body.
The Hellraiser franchise has always been underrated. Of course, there are plenty of sequels after this movie, but I only liked the first two. This film here is pretty amazing though. Loved everything about it. I hear there is a re-boot coming soon of the Hellraiser franchise. If you haven’t seen the original “Hellraiser”, it is streamable for Netflix, get on it soon. The rest of the sequels of this franchise are Netflix streamable too.
