Watch it tonight if you want visionary horror that actually earns its reputation—Clive Barker's *Hellraiser* is a genuinely inventive masterpiece that defined a generation of genre filmmaking, with practical effects and philosophical ambition that most modern horror can't touch. Skip it only if you're squeamish about graphic violence and sexual themes, but if you appreciate bold, unapologetic horror, this is essential viewing.
