Hellraiser

Essential horror. Barker's debut was the thing of nightmares melding S&M archetypes with extreme horror while providing high production value and casting that exceeded the genre. Clare Higgins is simply brilliant here with a performance both macabre and sexy. Andrew Robinson was also good here and boy could Ashley Laurence scream. Unfortunate it launched a series of middling sequels however.

Ghostman

An admirably ambitious horror film that ultimately fails. It may have outstanding gore but it just doesn't have an interesting enough narrative. Really incoherent characterizations that lack depth; by the ending you just won't give a shit about anyone because you really don't know who they actually are. Disappointing, I thought this was a classic.

It has good makeup effects & a delightfully sick sense of humor, & I give it credit for a protagonist who isn't as stupid as most female horror leads. The other woman, though, needs to spend a little more time asking questions & a little less time jumping from 'deranged half-melted corpse asking me for blood' to murder without at least asking how or why. --PolarisDiB

If you can get beyond the blood and gore, this is a very intelligent film. Clive Barker's low-budget debut feature is a fetishistic nightmare about what really happens when our desires grab hold of us in more ways than one.

Elena G.

An inhabitant of hell escapes it and takes advantage of her lover's murdering skills to be reborn in flesh. The disadvantages of ignorantly playing with Saturn's cube.

Tigrão

i couldn't help feeling a weird film noir vibe within the film, with a Clare Higgins looking very much like Simone Signoret in Diaboliques.

O terror de fantasia, nunca é tão bom como aquele que procura ser mais real. Tem coisas boas, mas outras nem tão boas. WHO THE FUCK É AQUELE SEM ABRIGO?

It's like ONE STEP AWAY from being ridiculously cheesy. Or maybe it is cheesy. Whatever I loved it but I love everything that tries to be scary...
