Hellraiser review

Hellraiser

This was my first time watching this movie. i was lucky enough to find the 20th anniversary edition at walmart for a whopping 5 bucks. The film at the very beginning feels a bit slow, but the aura of creepiness, and mystery keep your eyes locked on the screen the entire time. for a film of its time, the acting was not horrible, and dialog was all there, and delivery was good. The visuals were awesome, i was very creeped out at Frank's gross, wet, flesh and muscle lacking body in the attic. all of the scenes were interesting, i was nervous the whole time for unsuspecting victims being lured into this house by the wife to give "food" for the living corpse of her adulterous lover Frank.

Now, the greatest scenes for me were any scene involving the centibites one including the infamous "Pin Head". In the credits Doug Bradley was listed as main centibite which was cool because it shows that they had no idea that this film was going to take off the way it did and have numerous sequals. the "chatterbox" centibit was very awesome looking and the more i think about it, annoying.

all in all this was a great horror movie, and i cant wait to see some of the sequels to it even though as most sequels do probabaly wont live up to the hype of the orignal.

Surprised you did not mention Ashley Laurence in this review. She was quite the surprise.
