@@DiamondDead so? Are you assuming I'm Christian, and you're trying to hurt my feelings? Lol. And the new testament is the bestseller, and that was written after the reformation, so it has no violent passages, only parables. You're on about the Old Testament. But the Qu'ran, that's not changed in over 1,400 years and still teaches death of apostates, infidels, homosexuals and treating women as less than men. All religions are stupid.

Before CGI of course. The Thing', Hellraiser' etc relied on a more vicseral effects that hits home better.
"The box. You opened it. We came." Saw Doug Bradley at a con and it was really interesting listening to him talk about the making of the film, especially about Pinhead's elaborate costume and how he had to learn to walk in it without tripping on the leather skirt.
Talk about a series that went off the rails like a train derailing into a tank farm. With all the explosions and horrible deaths that accompanies that.

It sends shivers down my spine and makes my imagination run wild like all the best horror films.

the oirginal is better. better filmed. the premise better. in the original the cenobites are actually the good guys. you have two separate plots ... you have a couple of sexual sadist killers and then you have the monster cenobites who pop up near the end. esp in fist viewing... the cenobite monsters are kept hidden until the end, and this adds to the shock value.

This was one of the few times you mentioned Roger Ebert and I truly appreciate how you used his analysis to compliment yours!
The atmosphere in this film is beautifully realized. As much as I love Hellbound, the first film's creepy intimacy always leaves a stronger mark.
i always found the idea of something being so overtly painful that past a certain threshold it actually feels amazing very horrifying . That is the most disturbing concept these movies have created. Specifically one of the later ones that was complete dogshit but the ending of it was scary to think about because after all the carnage the survivor just witnessed and went through the trouble of kicking hellraiser and his squad out of the house. She was then tempted to reopen it. The willingness to subject herself to the same body horror she just was scared of moments before was just mindboggling.
this is it. the holy grail of stuckmann reviews.

I ain't seen it and I've seen almost every decent movie since the 1980s. Is this Recommended ?
Back in the late eighties, this was one of the movies that scared me by simply looking at the VHS cover. It was the most hardcore thing I had ever seen.
FINALLY a FAIR non bias, non directorial, non fanboying review of a movie. Well done sir...well done! :) I look forward to others. This is my favorite part of the year as well
I was so looking forward to this movie's release back in the day. It had been discussed in Fangoria for quite some time and I was a Clive Barker fan (cause we have the same last name!). Its theatrical debut was delayed a couple of times, but it was finally released and I loved it because it was so different. It was, more or less, "mature" and more professionally done than most, particularly by first-timers. There was style to the direction, particularly the late night scene with the lightning illuminating the portrait on the wall the way it did. Small things like that just set a mood much more than many other heavy-handed approaches. Plus, there was the story that had essentially a three-pronged attack with the Cenobites, Frank and Claire. Much like Halloween, the sequels never measured up and just continued to get sillier and sillier.
Chris did not grow up watching Hellraiser. :O
I’m so glad you chose to look at Hellraiser. I have so much love for this film. If you ever get the chance to read The Hellbound Heart, I stand by it has the best opening chapter in a horror novel.
Hellraiser is one of my favorite horror series. I've always looked at this movie as a human study almost. Barker wants to tell us that humans are just as worse as demons. The Cenobites are just there to collect a soul. (specifically the one who open the box) And I like how Pinhead can accept a bargain. I rarely don't see that in a horror film and he always let Kirsty slide. I feel he respects her in some ways. There's really nothing hero is another thing that sets it apart. Kirsty bargain to save her own ass which is understandable. But as the series goes on she becomes just as evil as Pinhead. Hellraiser came out in a good time when slashers sequels were becoming pure entertainment and goofy. Hellraiser usually has kept a more serious vibe throughout the series. (except 3) Great review and keep it coming!!!
Really spot on review, Chris! I pretty much rate this film as a B+ also. Hellraiser is such a great and unique horror film, it's just a shame that after Hellraiser II, all the following sequels pretty much forgot the idea that the Cenobites aren't demons or lords of Hell. They're just extradimensional beings who people have perceived to be demons or angels over millennia. They care little for mankind's plights or buffing Hell, we are just tools for them; toys for their games of pleasure. That Lovecraftian element was really lost on the later instalments.
I really like this movie, it’s the only one in the franchise I actually enjoy. Clive Barker made a very good movie! Totally agree about the practical effect!
I love Hellraiser, one of my favorite movies horror or not.

I accidentally watched Hellraiser when I was a kid browsing through channels on TV. And I have to say it was so disturbing and traumatizing I couldn’t finish it. The practical effects were definitely topnotch because the Cenobites looked so terrifying that I had nightmares about them for days. I wish I watched it as an adult though because I didn’t really understand what I was watching back then. And the kid inside me still shivers whenever I see that movie cover.

Man after hearing your story, its cool that you can review a film like this now in your life. And pursue film making. Good on you for seeing your dreams through.👍 And great review.
I specially love how in the novel the cenobites are not even the bad guys. When Frank opens the Lament configuration they warn him several times before they even take him to their realm. They're like: " This is very extreme", "This might not be what you expect", "Once you agree, you can't go back". They even make a deal with Kirsty to get Frank back and the don't break it. And The Engineer entrusts Kristy with the box. Frank and Julia are the actual villains of the story. But just like Jason Vorhees, the cenobites became the monsters in the sequels.

Loved your review. Well written and thought out, and we can see the passion in this one. This is what puts you a notch above other youtube movie reviewers.
I love that at 7:08 you can literally see the wheels behind that corridor monster.

I saw this movie like a year ago and while it wasn't scary it felt really intense and I'm not sure why.

It was the way he said it as well...I love this film
I think my first time watching Hellraiser was when I was 10. My family of course made me turn away from certain scenes, but I still remember liking it then. And now years later, it remains one of my favorite horror movies (and in general as well) of all time. I love movies that aren't afraid to get down and dirty, but also contain some artistic beauty. The practical effects make it all the better, it just gives me a classic and nostalgic feel. And oh, the soundtrack... I could go on and on and talk about how beautiful, seductive, and epic the score is. It's like the music itself is trying to seduce us with elegance but also bombard us with sudden epic outbursts. It's sort of reminiscent of what the cenobites stand for; pain and pleasure mixed together in one beautiful concoction. All of this applies to the second film as well, both are beautiful and on equal standing in regards to the effects, the overall movie, and the score. God, I love these movies
Chris, thank you. Seriously, thank you for the praise and giving notoriety to this film. It’s a great film and needs to be remembered so today’s audience can appreciate good horror done right.

HELLRAISER'S SO SATANIC
I just went: “is it Halloween time already?! Faaaaaackkk”
Don't disagree with any of your points except for one. The reason why Hellraiser works is with what you started with: on the cover on the VHS box is the larger than life character of Pinhead played brilliantly by Doug Bradley. If Uncle Frank had our curiosity, Pinhead had our attention. It's not just his appearance, it's his dialogue. "We are explorers in the further reaches of experience. Demons to some, angels to others". It reminded me of some of the dialogue said by the demon Pazuzu in the Exorcist in that here was an evil entity but also intelligence and at times, was almost charming.
Me and my friend watched this from his father's VHS collection when we were like six. I had nightmares for a month.
I know it’s October so you’re reviewing horror movies... but can we pretend that El Camino is a a horror movie so you can review it?

Constant K I mean I guess. Definitely felt like breaking bad to me though. But sure it probably didn’t need to be made but I enjoyed it for what it was. Can’t blame the guy for milking it for all it’s worth

I wonder what a collaboration with Clive Barker and HR Giger would've been like
I'm very excited to see The Changling cover. I hope it's a solo review. Honestly one of the most underrated paranormal horror movies made.
*Please* tell me Evil Dead 2 / Army of Darkness reviews are coming
I'd like a review of Panos Cosmatos's Mandy. I'm curious as to what you thought of it.

Good one!
I met Doug Bradley at DragonCon a few years ago. My dad had me watching Hellraiser as a kid so I was super excited!!
Is that an Akira shirt? If it is, then excellent choice! Akira was based on 2019 dystopia, and it is now 2019. There is no better time to watch it.
I just remembered, is Chris ever gonna review those movies he saw at that film fest he went too?
I was the first one to say that hellraiser should be one of your movie reviews Chris. Thank you very much.
I really wished you had done a longer review where you went a bit more in depth about the novella and the movie. But I think this is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. And the novella is amazing too.
One of my favourite horror films ever, love the 2nd film too. And it's one of the unique and interesting horror films. Doug Bradley's performance as Pinhead was brilliant.

Hellraiser is one of my favorite horror movies. I like Hellbound (the sequel) too, but it's not as good as the first. After that, you really shouldn't watch any of the other "hellraiser" movies.
Love the background this year man!! Very, very cool.
hey chris just wanted to let you know i love how you set up your background for this event, the blockbuster nostalgia is strong :)
7:10 wow you can clearly see the wheels of the thing the creature is moved with behind it
