Hellraiser

When the Engineer chases Kirsty, the trolley and crew pushing it are visible.

Throughout most of the film, Larry has a bandage on his right hand.

When he talks to Julia through the bathroom door, Larry's bandage is on his left hand.

When Kirsty first wakes up in the hospital bed, the tray-table in front of her is empty.

The doctor comes in and deposits the puzzle box on the table.

He says he'll get her a phone after they've talked.

However, directly after he leaves, we see that a phone has appeared on the table.

It is neither mentioned nor used.

The amount of blood on Julia from inside the attic to the hallway to the bathroom.

When Frank first opens the puzzle box in the beginning of the film, the inner sides of the sliding pieces are white.

Later, when Kirsty opens the box in the hospital, the box's inner sides are brown woodgrain, just like the exterior of the box.

The number of cups on the table during the opening scene (where Frank buys the box) changes from one to two then back to one.

When The Monster in the tunnel chases Kirsty back towards the hospital room, you can see the trolley and wheels the monster is being wheeled on.

Also whilst Kirsty is running away, the camera cuts to the tunnel, and it seems she is running the wrong way (the tunnel with the painted disappearing point appears supposedly ahead of her).

When Kirsty is at the top of the stairs hiding from Frank, a shadow of the boom mic is visible on the top corner.

Just before Frank inadvertently stabs Julia, the bandage on his right hand disappears for two shots in close-up.

At the start of the film where Frank is buying the box, when the camera is zoomed in on the box, you see two glasses, but when the camera is zoomed out there is only one on the table.

Also throughout these shots, everything on the table moves around.

At the start of the film when Kirsty is walking towards the house you can see her hair is evenly sitting behind her head, but in the next scene when the camera looks back at her, her hair is bunched to one side.

There were a lot of horror films in the 1980s, some of them brilliant, some of them not, but there's none quite as good as this effort from Clive Barker.In Hellraiser we have the definitive horror movie for the time.

This movie is just a scrapbook of interesting ideas and images without any reasonable narrative or characters to hold them together. The characters are weak and the actors are dull.

After the glut of slasher films in the late Seventies and early Eighties, featuring more or less the same baddies - masked men out for slaughter in the name of implacable revenge - Hellraiser was, for me at least, a revelation. I mean, I can still remember seeing Hellraiser for the first time, and there are very, very few films about which I can say that.

Clive Barker's horror masterpiece stands alone as one of the greatest horror films of the last 20 odd years, and has lost none of it's pure impact and brutality.The initial moment the Nightmarish Cenobites and their evil leader Pinhead are seen and felt on screen, make Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Leatherface look like a bad boy band.

Hellraiser at its Hellbound heart is a story of love, longing, obsession, lust and the abject boredom and the familiarity of marriage. This is a dark family saga that is more akin to Shakespeare and Macbeth than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Hellraiser was a pretty fantastic horror movie for its time. Not only was it sourced from a truly unique novella (written by Clive Barker, who was also the writer and director on this project), but it featured some practical effects that, while nothing more than simple, campy fun today, were groundbreaking in its time.

Wow! This movie really brings the horror!

Kirsty Cotton:" Who are you?" Lead Cenobite: "Explorers in the further regions of experience.

I liked the setup, with the backstory of the adulterous relationship feeding in to this woman going out and bringing fresh victims back to resurrect her dead lover. It gets a little weird when her stepdaughter (Ashley Laurence) starts snooping around and gets her hands on the puzzle box, and it probably would have been better had the story made a little more sense.
