Re: Hellraiser

I've long thought that Hellraiser is one of the most unsettling movies ever made. Some of the images in it -- notably the scene where the woman is so hot for her dead - but - slowly - returning - to - life boyfriend that she makes out with him even though he's little more than raw exposed muscles -- are truly horrifying, not merely scary - the sort of stuff that no normal person would ever conceive. I first saw Hellraiser in a grind house in Times Square on a Saturday night, a venue where audiences considered it their God - given right to yell at the screen. On this occaision however the theater fell completely silent by 15 or 20 minutes into the movie; even the densest soul in the audience could sense that Hellraiser was going someplace disturbing and way beyond typical horror movies.
