Hellraiser

Clive Barker's classic about an unfaithful wife (Higgins) who must bring her dead lover (Chapman/Smith) human-sacrifices to recreate his body that was the sodomized into little pieces by Cenobites, S&M demons from Hell. But his escape from Hell soon leads the Cenobites to Earth. Solid story delivered by a talented cast. The film satisfies with gross outs, but the Cenobites are too wimpy to deliver any scares. Ooh, there's a guy with pins sticking out of his head… how scary! All in all, the lead cast, the solid story and the gross outs make "Hellraiser" a definite worthwhile horror film. Pinhead (Bradley) is credited as Lead Cenobite, as his name wasn't coined until the sequel "Hellbound: Hellraiser II".
