The original Hellraiser ranks so high because it has everything a good horror film should: a disturbing story, even more disturbing monsters and blood, lots of blood. Clive Barker knows his stuff, and it is shown in full gory force here.

Hellraiser

Hellraiser. The original Clive Barker horror-fest. This film is so famous because of it's well paced story, believeable yet totally fantastic characters, realistic setting, and of course, those menacing, demoniac creatures from Hell, the Cenobites. Doug Bradley really makes this films Cenobite moments effectively terrifying, his voice like some bottomless pit from which growls some elder horror of vast and terrible knowledge, whose experiences in the realms of pleasure and pain make for some totally hideous scenes.
The Cenobites themselves are bizarre and disturbing, ranging from mawed demons to obese horrors and pinheaded nightmares.

The first in the series, and the best. A seperate entity of terror from the rest.
Go watch!

Heckraiser

Hellraiser is an awesome, awesome movie. Pin-head is perhaps the scariest villian ever created on film. He certainly looks the scariest, anyway. Any movie that has a portal to Hell in it is going to be a mellodramatic crazy-house, and this one's no different.
