Critics consensus

“Elevated by writer-director Clive Barker's fiendishly unique vision, Hellraiser offers a disquieting - and sadistically smart - alternative to mindless gore.”

The reason the movie works as well as it does is because of its human characters.

Horror is at its best when it's relentless. Clive Barker knows this, and his debut feature as director is so gleefully vicious, so relentlessly grim that it's going to be very hard for fans of the genre not to like it.

With Hellraiser, Clive Barker created one of the most genuinely disturbing movies of the last 20 years.

The performances are strong. The story is original and effective. The horrific elements are hugely memorable.
