When Frank Cotton unlocks a strange puzzle box, he unknowingly opens a portal to a hellish dimension ruled by the Cenobitesโcreatures who exist to explore the limits of pain and pleasure. His body is torn apart, but death is only the beginning of his nightmare.
Somehow, Frank escapes their realm, returning as a skinless, half-formed being hiding in his old family home. To fully return to life, he needs bloodโand Julia, his former lover, agrees to lure unsuspecting victims to help him.
Meanwhile, Frankโs niece Kirsty begins to unravel the mystery behind the box, sensing that something evil lurks inside the house. Her curiosity leads to a terrifying confrontation with the Cenobites, who are determined to reclaim what escaped them.
Caught between the living and the damned, Kirsty must outsmart both Frank and the Cenobites to survive. But dealing with beings from another dimension means playing by their gruesome rulesโand making horrifying choices.
Hellraiser blends grotesque body horror with dark themes of obsession, desire, and torment. Clive Barkerโs chilling debut is a bold reimagining of supernatural horror, delivering disturbing visuals and the unforgettable villain: Pinhead.
