Easily a 10 and one of my top 3 favorite horror films of all time. Faithful rendition of the original Hellbound Heart novella. This is one of the very few films to ever give me real, terrifying nightmares again and again. Scared me shitless when I saw it in theaters back in '87.
It's a 9. Only the hokey SFX at the end pull it down, they look pretty bad. The concept though is terrific though. Actually, overall, I think the franchise has squandered an opportunity for something great. Oh well. This one is near perfect.
One of my favourite horror films of all time. Narrowly misses out on a ten for the half english half american setting. And some of the effects are dated now
This is a magic movie for me since it's the film that got me addicted to horror. Great characters (humans and Cenobites), great atmoshpere, great story, great look, etc. Nine out of ten.
Amazing film, and the beginning of my favorite film series. Original, gruesome, depraved, and simply captivating. The Cenobites are just great. I give it a 9.5, while my favorite of the series, Hellbound, would garner a 10.
Very good film,strong cast ,great music.I always wondered why they dubbed all of the minor charecters into more "American" sounding voices,though.A minor classic . 9.
7.5. This is a good release from Barker and Pinhead and the Cenobites are cool as hell but the sequel was even better than the original. The sequel would get an 8.
8. Pretty big fan of the Hellraiser serie. Yes, I'm actually looking foward to : - Hellraiser : Deader - Hellraiser : Hellworld
8 1/2 for me. One of the most unique vision of horror I've ever seen. Amazing story that actually lived up to it's premise.
