Hellraiser (DVD, 2000, 2-Disc Set, Limited Edition)

This movie is one that I'll never forget. It started the whole cult of body piercing in the "not so normal" areas of the body (forhead, lips, etc...)

I actually saw this movie as a teen on the big screen when it first came out and I must say that it changed the way I felt about people all together. The passion that Julia has for Frank was something that I had never seen before. The betrayel and evil that is present in this film really got to me and left me a different person after viewing it. Of course now it's just a good horror flick but back then--WHEW!!! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Not only does the movie stress Julia's love Frank (her husbands brother), but it shows how deceiving a person can be. It also shows the lengths of what that person will do for that love. Then when the betrayel sets in, it's just a shocker like no other. It's so quick and heartless that you just can't believe what you're watching. At least it was to me and the people that I saw it with. Then on top of all these horrible human actions that are going on, you then throw in this dimension of hell with these horrific looking monsters. These monsters were demons from a dimension of hell like no other. Again these were visions of pure horror like none that you have ever seen before.
And there you have it. A complete original horror movie that will shock and scare the hell out of you and leave you thinking at the end. This movie was such a success it gave birth to a number of sequels. The second one is about as good, if not just as good as the first one. But I'll never forget the feeling that I had after leaving the theatre of the first Hellraiser. So if you're up for a good 80's horror film, which I am a fanatic of, then I would highly suggest this one. Although if you're reading this then you're probably already a fan...

If you like the Hellraiser series this is the one to buy! Comes with Hellraiser and Hellraiser II Hellbound...Great movies from the series and in an AWESOME limited edition tin. They do make a new box set with 1 2 and 1 on blu ray but they are the exact movies and not limited to 30,000. The tin edition is great for collectors!
