Movie Reviews of Hellraiser
Movie Review: Clive Barker's Hellbound Heart adeptation is fairly good
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart(Hellraiser's inspiring story)before watching Hellraiser I've noticed many discrepancies between the two, and id say the novel is better. However if you haven't read the book I believe you'll enjoy this movie(despite some weak acting). I don't want to summarize the movie but I will say it is twisted and disturbing even up to today's standards. The DVD set is fairly solid and the visuals have been improved. It contains one disc with the widescreen movie(93 minutes), 5 interviews(ea. about 15 mins), theatrical and TV trailers, Commentary, a slide show, and first and final screenplays. Overall its worth buying, but READ THE NOVEL AFTER WATCHING HELLRAISER.
Summary of Hellraiser
In a place between pleasure and pain there is sensual experience beyond limits. And in a world between paradise and purgatory there is a horror that feeds the souls of evil. Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 06/25/2002 Starring: Andrew Robinson Ashley Laurence Run time: 93 minutes Rating: R Director: Clive BarkerHaving made his reputation as one of the most prolific and gifted horror writers of his generation (prompting Stephen King to call him "the future of horror"), Clive Barker made a natural transition to movies with this audacious directorial debut from 1987. Not only did Barker serve up a chilling tale of devilish originality, he also introduced new icons of horror that since have become as popular among genre connoisseurs as Frankenstein's monster and the Wolfman. Foremost among these frightful visions is the sadomasochistic demon affectionately named Pinhead (so named because his pale, bald head is a geometric pincushion and a symbol of eternal pain). Pinhead is the leader of the Cenobites, agents of evil who appear only when someone successfully "solves" the exotic puzzle box called the Lamont Configuration--a mysterious device that opens the door to Hell. The puzzle's latest victim is Frank (Sean Chapman), who now lives in a gelatinous skeletal state in an upstairs room of the British home just purchased by his newlywed half-brother (Andrew Robinson, best known as the villain from Dirty Harry), who has married one of Frank's former lovers (Claire Higgins). The latter is recruited to supply the cannibalistic Frank with fresh victims, enabling him to reconstitute his own flesh--but will Frank succeed in restoring himself completely? Will Pinhead continue to demonstrate the flesh-ripping pleasures of absolute agony? Your reaction to this description should tell you if you've got the stomach for Barker's film, which has since spawned a number of interesting but inferior sequels. It's definitely not for everyone, but there's no denying that it's become a semiclassic of modern horror. --Jeff Shannon
