Hellraiser (1987)

 

A woman discovers the newly resurrected, partially formed, body of her brother-in-law. She starts killing for him to revitalize his body so he can escape the demonic beings that are pursuing him after he escaped their sadistic underworld. 

Innovative and gory horror tale set new standards for the genre of its time, but meanwhile seems a bit modest and outdated.

Halliwell (no star): "Gloatingly sadistic and unnecessarily gory horror movie." 

Maltin**1/2: "Grisly but stylish...; ugly fun all the way."
