Hellraiser (1987) is a horror film directed by Clive Barker, based on his own novel The Hellbound Heart. The story follows a family that becomes entangled in supernatural horror when they open an ancient box that serves as a portal to hell.

When the protagonist, Frank, is resurrected from a violent death, he returns as a disfigured, demonic figure. His resurrection triggers the arrival of the Cenobites, interdimensional creatures who seek souls to torture for eternity.

The plot thickens as Frank’s sister, Kirsty, finds herself caught between her family’s dark desires and the dangers posed by the Cenobites. As she struggles to save herself, she uncovers horrifying secrets about her family and the curse of the box.

Hellraiser is an iconic film in the body horror subgenre, known for its grim atmosphere and striking visual effects. The film also marked the beginning of a franchise that continued exploring the horrors of the box and the Cenobites in subsequent sequels.
