Sexual deviant Frank opens a puzzle box and discovers the entrance to Hell, where fetish-demons led by Pinhead tear his body apart. When Frank’s brother and his wife move into his house, a skeletal Frank appears to his sister-in-law and asks her to supply him with corpses for his regeneration.

The iconic, uniquely terrifying, and twisted Pinhead makes his grand debut in this gruesome horror. Working from his own novel, first-time director Clive Barker’s film is a remarkable rarity: not only a highly original blend of Catholicism, punk rock, and S&M, but by now also a classic of its genre.
