Clive Barker’s 'Hellraiser' came along at a time when cinematic
horror desperately needed to be taken more seriously again, needing not
only groundbreaking innovation, but also it needed to go beyond our
limits of what we consider taboo. While the film’s theme of
sadomasochism may seem like old hat these days to desensitized genre
audiences, it still stands up strong today as an imaginative experience
in supernatural fantasy body horror that is as chilling, disturbing, and
disgusting as it was when first released in 1987.
