Hellraiser 1 was just a good movie, not just a good horror movie either.
To date, it has not been matched visually in it's visceral scope. Clive Barker knows the key to making the grotesque beautiful. Part of it's charm was the low budget kept them from being too grandiose with the visuals, which actually made it all the more unsettling.
Like any movie, it has flaws, but what I love about it is despite being so bizarre and twisted, the story makes complete sense, and nothing to me felt thrown in out of gratuity or necessity.
I wanted to post the "Jesus Wept" scene, but unfortunately the only videos I can find of it are people filming their TV's.
I may actually just rip the scene myself and upload it.
