Hey Sick.....you've got some serious catching up to do. I gotta admit, even though the original Hellraiser looks kinda dated now (especially the bad 80s hair and clothes) its way ahead of its time. I don't know how they did the body coming-back-to-life thing that's in the first part of the movie. Its very good for the kinds of special effects they had back then and, I suppose, the low-budget they had. And even though there's some cheesey parts, there's nothing that makes you cringe like getting hit in the jaw with a claw-hammer!
The story, even though its kind of a mess in the films is so intriguing! The first two really tell the tale and if you wade thru the gore its a very interesting idea.
Then you gotta see Phantasm and Phantasm II.
