Roger Ebert
I like good horror movies because I enjoy being surprised (and sometimes even moved), but there are no surprises in 'Hellraiser,' only a dreary series of scenes that repeat each other.

Common Sense Media
The grisly directing debut of horror-fantasy author Clive Barker, HELLRAISER proposes that a fist-sized decorated box is a paranormal puzzle, literally the Rubik's Cube from Hell, opening gateways to nasty places beyond death.

Hellraiser remains a horror classic that is worth checking out both before and after we get brought back into the world it created all those years ago.

HNN (HorrorNews.net)
"Hellraiser set a new bar in the horror genre, pushing the boundaries of what to expect from a horror film."

IMDb
'Hellraiser' has ample opportunity to be something more than a dour mood piece - it could have fun with the introduction of its side antagonists, the Cenobites... But Barker seems to prefer static suffering to persuasive emotional manipulation.

Rotten Tomatoes
Hellraiser [is] one of the most gruesome, visually horrific fantasy films you will ever see.
