Mark Kermode reviews Hellraiser (1987) | BFI Player

[@Emulous79]

I love Kermode's opinion on this wicked little film.

[@NoirFan84]

There's an awesome hellish atmosphere to this 80's classic. A pleasant unexpected surprise seeing this pop up on BFI Player. *The box. You opened it, we came.*

[@kyleburley7686]

One of my favorite films of all time. I make it a point to watch it every year.❤😅

[@travisspazz1624]

Underrated final girl performance from Ashley Laurence!

[@thomasbarker4628]

This is one horror that still gives me nightmares to this day, in my dream pinhead is flaying the flesh from my shins.I can actually feel pain at the time which is more disturbing than the nightmare.Horror films today just can't compete with this masterpiece.BIG BEES.

[@ElwynRoberts]

A perfect review of an astonishing dark adult horror.

[@williamkuhns2387]

The scene at end when kirsty bumps into the dead man and the maggots spill out of his mouth onto her still is terrifying!

[@Capgungoesbang]

Best horror franchise! The Chatterer cenobyte still scares me after all these years.

[@24SparrowJack]

nah the first three films are the only good ones

[@p0tatob0ys]

The third one is a travesty. Hellraiser Judgement isn't too bad.

Check out the documentary Leviathan Story Of Hellraiser and Hellbound Hellraiser II

[@The-Wolf-with-no-name]

Two films that really troubled me in their depiction of hell...this film and Event Horizon...actually come to think of it Silent Hill too.

[@carolkewley7410]

"Oh, yes!"

[@Dancing-Spirits]

I also love his opinion on Hellraiser, though I wish Kermode would dive into the original more; Clive Barker's initial story was far better in my opinion, moreover his changes from page to screen was dissappointing in my eyes.

[@LordDeBahs]

my favourite childhood movie

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

Pleased to note the 2022 reboot was pretty decent; certainly didn't let down the original. In Pinhead triv, he crossed over in comics with the ultraviolent hero hunter Marshal Law in the '90s.

[@77jamess]

This film genuinely scares me. Really disturbing.

[@unconvincingrebel]

Cant believe pinhead is used on all the posters when he's the least scary monster in it.

[@dirty06maggot]

Pinhead never scared me, not even as an 11 year old.

[@stephenkissane4268]

This isn't for your eyes

[@mic187x2]

The 1st was good. The rest awful.

[@stevemitchell3464]

Hellbound: Hellraiser II was awful, the original was much better.
