Hellraiser was an overrated shit flick.
That's why I love it

The uncommon take on villains, monsters and otherworldly settings is what makes it so interesting.
A ponderous bdsm troupe from hell rather than mindless evil baddies. Elevates it above the usual horror shtick any day.
Barker's shit in general is over rated. It's all run of the mill disturbing horror.
Although I did likeJericho. That video game.

2 and 3 are better
wow, just like almost every "classic" horror film
don't get me wrong, they're mostly enjoyable, but very rarely are they "good". The original Halloween and the Thing might be the only ones to actually deserve its reputation.

Meh, it's somewhat dated now but the idea of intelligent BDSM villains and a somewhat Lovecraftian world was pretty groundbreaking when it was first released almost 30 years ago

Tell me about Hellraiser, why does he wear the pins?
>>71169789
i think it was like the 4th movie the one where you get the creation of the box in the early part of the movie and its in space at the end it was good
think it was hellraser bloodlines or some shit. i think it was the only one with a good budget for its time

Doug Bradley was the best Pinhead.
The book had some cool incest subtext too, on top of the BDSM, that makes it to the next level.
>>71169789
it might not be fantastic, but its worth watching for the special effects/gore.
>>71173927
Nobody cared who he was until he inserted the pins.
>>71169789
The first one is a little overrated. The second one though is underrated.

It's a form of acupuncture, but that probably brings pain instead of relief. Because he is addicted to pain.

In the book his daughter was just a woman who wanted to bang. She was only the daughter in film

>Hellraiser
The first film was full of interesting ideas which were explored in varying degrees of success. That said, the film utterly failed to be "scary" and was instead merely "weird".

This has never sat right with me.

I'd call it a pretty original work with a lot of love to details, but yeah it's not catering to the taste of viewers that much, is older than 5 years and isn't Marvel, so you're right it's overrated and shit.
