Good choice. I saw "Hellraiser" on a Saturday night in a theater in Times Square, long before Times Square became a northern suburb of Orlando. Audiences in those theaters considered it a God - given right to talk (or more accurately, yell) back to the screen. As the movie began there was the expected audience commentary. However, as the film progressed the audience got quieter and quieter until they were finally silent. I think even the densest knucklehead in the theater could sense that "Hellraiser" was something out of the ordinary, a truly disturbing movie with some appalling yet original ideas and imagery. I certainly left the theater thinking "the guy who thought up this stuff is really sick."
