The Reel Rejects · 31 октября 2026 г. · 21 мин

We Understand Now Why You Wouldn’t Stop Asking Us To Watch Hellraiser! Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson finally watch Clive Barker’s Hellraiser (1987) for the first time after years of requests from horror fans! When Kirsty Cotton discovers that her stepmother Julia has been secretly feeding victims to the resurrected and skinless Frank Cotton, she opens the Lament Configuration and summons the terrifying Cenobites. Roxy & Tara react to Frank’s incredible practical-effects resurrection, Julia’s hammer murders, Kirsty solving the puzzle box, Pinhead and the Cenobites’ entrance, Frank wearing Larry’s skin, the iconic “Jesus wept” chain sequence and an ending that leaves them ready for more! Hellraiser (1987) Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Written and directed by Clive Barker (Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions) and adapted from his novella The Hellbound Heart, Hellraiser stars Ashley Laurence as Kirsty Cotton (Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Warlock III), Clare Higgins as Julia Cotton (The Golden Compass, The Worst Witch), Andrew Robinson as Larry Cotton and Frank’s human disguise (Dirty Harry, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and Sean Chapman as Frank Cotton (Scum, The Fourth Protocol). The horror cast also includes Doug Bradley as Pinhead, originally credited as the Lead Cenobite (Nightbreed, Wrong Turn 5), Nicholas Vince as the Chatterer Cenobite (Nightbreed, Book of Monsters), Simon Bamford as the Butterball Cenobite (Nightbreed, The Torturer), Grace Kirby as the Female Cenobite, and Robert Hines as Steve. After the reaction, Roxy & Tara discuss why the movie was completely different from the Pinhead-centered slasher they expected, how much they hated Julia and Frank, Kirsty’s strength as a final girl, Christopher Young’s haunting score and the phenomenal makeup, prosthetics and practical body-horror effects. They also explore the story’s themes of forbidden desire, pleasure and pain—and explain why they finally understand the demand for more Hellraiser reactions.
