“No tears, please. It’s a waste of good suffering”
I always loved how Pinhead speaks; so classy. He can make anything sound like Shakespeare. I read somewhere that the film studio wanted Pinhead to have witty one-liners like Freddy Krueger and the Evil Dead movies. I’m glad that Clive Barker didn’t listen to them and had Pinhead inspired by Dracula; classy and articulate.
@@39HundredThat's interesting, sir😳 I've never heard that before. I remember seeing Hellraiser in the theater back in the fall of '87 when I was a senior in high school. It was awesome on the big screen👍
@@39HundredIn fact, it was part of a double feature with Flowers in The Attic
Dasha watches Hellraiser is a video title I never thought I'd see. This is one of my all time favourite horror movies. A display of Clive Barker's creativity and affinity for gore and disturbing sado masachism. Perfect horror material. I love it.
I want to see her react to Tenet
Waaaat!?
It was a painful start though
Very much right in my wheelhouse,had a subscription to Fangoria,this was junior high,14-15 years old,the horror genre was a beast at the time.
@@Desman6 such a good magazine! I wish I still had the first five issues.
The Cenobites offer pleasure and pain so intense it’s impossible to tell where one begins and the other ends
Sounds like my ex-wife.
@@UncleAnaesthesia🤣
The sequel is fantastic !
Also another gem from Clive Barker is Night breed… worth a watch
Definitely should watch Nightbreed!
Note: "Cenobite" is a very old word from the Greek for "monk".
Also, a "cenobary" is a monastery.
I have some cool old dictionaries.
🎶Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you🎶
🤘🤘
Lately, Dasha has started watching horror movies more often. I like it♥♥:))
"there should be a label saying do not open" 😆
Here's a cool little detail. There were plans to crossover Hellraiser with Halloween. Wes Craven was writing the script but the Akkad bros put a stop to it. Craven pushed so hard for it but after many years he gave up and focused on Scream. Not much is known about the plot but it was rumored that the Cenobites gained control of Michael and used him to bring them souls. The working title was supposedly HELLOWEEN.
It is so trippy to see this video after watching along on patreon. And yes, croneberg is synonymous with body horror. Very good 😅
You should really read the book, The Hellbound Heart. It really goes into detail about the suffering. Frank and them weren’t just torn apart, the cenobites also crank your senses to %1000 and slow down time so each excruciating seconds feels like years.. it’s a terrifying description of unimaginable torment!
I don't recall their ability to affect time. I remember that Hell and Earth weren't in sync time-wise (hours of Earth were minutes in Hell relatively speaking) but relative time in each place was the same. That's how Frank could escape unnoticed for so long.
You say torment...I say pleasure
That sounds like the domain of Slaanesh to me...
"The box! You opened it... i came!"
😏
That's what she said.
Dead by daylight ❤
Little does she know the movie is based from a book by Clive Barker himself. Call The Hellbound Heart.
Horror is probably my favorite genre of film, so I'm always happy to see a Dasha horror reaction. This is definitely an iconic one.
This one is ok but I personally think the 2nd one is the best.
2nd one is definitely better. Also, 4 is better than 3.
It's hard to overestimate how good a horror film this is. Directing, well acted, great special effects, terrifying story. Like The Thing, just timeless!
I always love hearing Dasha's mellifluous Russian greeting, but those scare-sounds in the opening really made my day!
Me pretending to know what mellifluous means because it's the Internet and nobody ever wants to admit ignorance: 🤓🧐🥸
She's an absolute malyshka
@@TrevorSTL79 It's the internet. Look it up and learn something instead of typing a dumbass comment.
For the algorithm 👍🏼
The technical subgenera would called "Splater-punk" (graphically described gore) and borrows heavily from hypersexual themes and BDSM culture. Movies like Hostel (2005), Martyrs (2009), or Audition (1999) would all be fair examples of this. Cronenberg is the original body horror creator, focusing more on bodily transformation, infections, mutations, with a heavy intertwining of phycological themes. An example would be The Fly (1986), transformation into a hybrid insect and all the horror that does to a person's mind as well as their relationships.
The Lament Configuration Box plays heavily in the book. LeMarchand's Box isn't over explained which is why it is so mysterious
I never saw this one. Dasha's intro stating it was 'horrifying' got me to delay this screening and watch Hellraiser first myself.
Dasha We have such sights to show you.
Event Horizon?
@@gibbletronic5139 That and Phantasm.
@@windandcloudshadow158 That and Salem's Lot.
lol... this is nightmare fuel. lol!!! poor Dasha.
Seeing Andrew Robinson playing a normal person was odd casting. He will always be the creepy killer from Dirty Harry to me. He plays the creep so well!
My favorite is when he plays Elim Garak from Star Trek DS9😃
@@wills.364 Plain, simple Garak
Garak.
did you notice andrew robinson has blue eyes but when frank wears his skin, he has brown eyes.
Oh, never realised that was the same guy!
This used to give me nightmares as a kid.
Dasha is going to react to Hellreaiser.
Me: Poor Dasha. I hope she makes it through unscathed.
If you're interested in a comedy/horror movie or 2, Idle Hands and My Best Friend is a Vampire. If you're interested in a couple of horror movies with some comedy, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight and TftC: Bordello of Blood.
Hello Dasha!😊 Wow! When I saw the title of this one, I knew it would be a scary one for you.😉😱 The second film is a good sequel, "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" (1988). It is also a short film. Maybe you can give it a shot in the future. I hope you make 100K subscribers soon, Dasha!🙏🏻 You only have 7.1K to go!!!!👏🏻👏🏻 GREAT reactions to this very unsettling film, Dasha!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well this series will give this poyr young woman a few interesting dreams yep. But pin head is the goat. All time champ slasher body count champ, throughout thr franchise over 200 on screen kills not bad considering he really dont do much first 2 movies but he fell behind for a more awesome comeback he gets creative
I found this gem overnight on the bedroom TV when spending the night at my grandparent's place when I was 8 or 10 years old (they had cable TV + premium channels).
Very memorable experience to say the least.
I'm so glad you watched this. This is my favorite horror movie. You're right: no jump scares. It relies on the viewers' imaginations and thoughts.
Though they get away from it in later movies, the Cenobites are not really meant to be evil. It's as pinhead said. They are angels to some, demons to others. They bring you pleasures you can't dream of, but you must call them; they just don't come.
I love this movie and the book.
The remake is great too, though that's a heated debate with the fans!
Keep up the great work!
i like upto 4 in storywise, 5 the cenobite design, but to me the cenobites are Amoral, pinhead then pinhead is split, and thats the dark side of humanity when spencer is split the other films are meh to me
@@Greenwood4727 very well said. 4 has done great history on the box, and while i did like that angle of elliot spenser, that's kind of where the movies started pushing the cenobites into "villian" territory so I can't get completely behind it.
Truth be told, the cenobite design is why I watched the rest after 4. Lol
@@joshsmith1179 3 is Elliot arc, 4 is the box arc, they arent the best but it fills in those blanks and that scratches the storyline
@@Greenwood4727 right, I remember. Thanks though. I apologize if i wasn't clear. My thoughts were a little scrambled on that response. Lol
@@joshsmith1179 not a problem, love talking movies, i am house bound so i watch a LOT of movies. even if say you know there are readers out there who are just discovering them, i saw this a little too young but it made me love horror, i was 14 ish when it came out yeah a little too young
Now Dasha.. hellraiser 2😊
And to think, I hesitated.
@@matthewdinslage7179 He really was a kinky old fellow, wasn't he?
One of the best horror films of all time
Hey, Dasha! "Hellraiser" was the penultimate franchise of the indie horror cycle of the late '60's-'80's beginning with George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968 and ending with Stan Winston's "Pumpkinhead" in 1988. It is the most unique and layered member of this group.
Clive Barker was ascribed the mantle of successor to Stephen King when the maestro famously said in a blurb, "I have seen the future of horror and his name is Clive Barker." A number of his books and short stories have been adapted to film including "Lord of Illusions", "Midnight Meat Train" and "Books of Blood".
"Hellraiser" is based on a novella entitled "The Hellbound Heart". Producers asked for a name change for the film version because the original title sounded too romantic. At a loss, Barker put it to the production staff to come up with an alternative and a middle-aged woman on the film crew came up with a winner: "What a Woman Will Do for a Good F**k!" Lol.
I thought the cast of mostly unknowns was excellent! Andrew Robinson as the cuckolded Larry was the best known and would later play the choice role of the tailor-cum-spymaster Garak on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Uncle Frank was played lustily by Sean Chapman in flashback and menacingly by Oliver Smith in the skinless present. Clare Higgins' descent into absolute depravity is thrilling to watch as she wrestles with any moral qualms less and less. Finally, Ashley Laurence is tremendously underrated among Scream Queens as her virtuous ingenue Kirsty willingly consigns Uncle Frank's soul to eternal torment when the Cenobites come calling for her. Doug Bradley's role as Pinhead is small but his character design leaves an indelible impression becoming the emblem for the franchise. When he says, "We'll tear your soul apart!", it gives me chills. In a later entry, he has a great line: "Your suffering will be legendary even in Hell!"
The film is about gradations of evil running the gamut from selfish self-preservation to evil personified. There is Kirsty's desperate exchange of Frank for herself, Clare's willing murders born of twisted lust, Frank's monstrous predations and fratricide, the Cenobites' revelry in exploring the further regions of experience and ol' Beelzebub himself monitoring the whole affair as a homeless vagrant only to reveal himself at the very end.
The practical effects are extraordinary ranking with Rob Bottin's work on "The Thing" and Rick Baker's work on "An American Werewolf in London". Watching Frank reconstitute from protoplasm and brainstem is an Oscar-worthy set piece.
The first three sequels are okay but they take a nose-dive after that. The fourth film, "Bloodline", is the most interesting because it shows the origin of the puzzle box in the 18th-century, tells a story in the present and continues with a descendant of the puzzle maker in the 22nd-century! Hulu recently released a reboot with a female Pinhead!
Hereditary (2018)
almost no horror movies actually scare me but that one...I think it could only have been made by someone with a LOT of trauma
18:42 "Even if it doesn't look realistic, it looks disgusting"
Pretty good encapsulation of most horror movies from the 80s.
Great video reaction. The writer and director of this movie Clive Barker, he's so talented. Here is a romantic quote from one of his other stories.
Did I say that she was beautiful? I was wrong. Beauty is too tame a notion; it evokes only faces in magazines. A lovely eloquence, a calming symmetry; none of that describes this woman’s face. So perhaps I should assume I cannot do it justice with words. Suffice it to say that it would break your heart to see her; and it would mend what was broken in the same moment; and you would be twice what you’d been before.
Clive Barker
❤️😎
This is outstanding. You're absolutely correct it IS a Cronenbergian horror movie. To me, its not scary, but there is this unsettling anxiety from start to finish. There is something very odd about the Liverpool & Cricklewood locations (standing in for the midwest US) which gives it a really gritty feel...
A Pinhead thumbnail would have been really cool.
The 80s was the era for slasher movies ever since Halloween (1978) popularized the genre that Black Christmas (1974) codified. But in 1987, Clive Barker brought his own novella to life with Hellraiser and brought true gothic horror back to the forefront, but set in modern day with an underlying Lovecraftian influence. It's a story of lust, hedonism and moral decay set in a universe of unknowable forces beyond human understanding.
Or as one woman reportedly said in a meeting concerning the film's title, "What a Woman Will Do for a Good Fuck." XD
Very proud of you. I was surprised when I saw this was a movie you were going to react to. Glad you made it through it.
Wow I'm surprised to see this title outside of October. I can't wait to see your reaction, going to watch it now😊
Read the book, it gives more detail and explains how things work.
For example? say some details only in the book, hehehe.
If you've read the book then you know what I mean.
@@iainmulholland2025 Emmm... thanks, ''genius''.
Nobodys reading the damn book dont be a book snob
Seeing Andy Robinson in this reminds me that Dasha still needs to watch "Dirty Harry."
Love this movie!!
You’re picking some fun ones lately
These latest thumbnails got me trippin
The very first movie to give me nightmares. Was the howling from the year in 1981.
I've seen this before but it was always the extreme supernatural horror of the Cenobites that held my attention. I didn't think much about Julia or her love triangle (if that's the word) with the two brothers. But I see now that their human depravity is as much a gateway for the Cenobites, as the box itself. (I haven't thought about it, but it might bear comparison with Twin Peaks.)
Given your interpretation of this movie, I agree you should watch the second one. It gets surreal in places, and it's still disgusting, but it adds an interesting extra dimension to the story.
‘We’ll tear your soul apart!’ 😮
Moral of the story if a cool cube is anywhere dont turn it it just wont wnd how you want it to
0:21 She said it right again!
If you think Julia was the main villain then please watch 2. She embraces it and it’s pretty amazing
12:50 "This is very romantic story, it's like that's How I Met Your Mother, you know?" 🤣 Dasha, please never change!
This movie ranked at #19 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo and it's soooooooo scary, cool reaction as Dasha, you take care
At least TOP 10 must be.
I loved this film when it came out on VHS. It was amazing. Very Cronenberg like. Making effect hyper realistic is not always the best. No one says "How did they do that" anymore.
Like The Fly
I just want to say, I loved this movie has a teenager. Really fun to watch you react to it.
The effects might not be very realistic, but there is a tangibility of practical effects that CGI can't quite replicate.
This is a scary book and movie. Clive Barker is one twisted dude.
This was such a good movie. Really creepy imagery and concept.
Clive Barker writes some really messed up stuff. I highly recommend checking out some of his books.
Books of Blood is an easier one, as it's a compilation of short stories, rather than a full novel.
Oh wow you are brave watching this. This will "tear your soul apart"
These thumbnails are hysterical! Love it!
Hellraiser is a classic horror movie. Unfortunately, (at least IMO) the sequels all dropped the ball.
The portrayal of Pinhead was so masterfully done, and the Cenobytes are all epic in how terrifying they look and present themselves. How this franchise never took advantage of this and put together a series of great horror films with a great story is beyond me. So much wasted potential.
If anyone disagrees, cool. I'm notoriously picky on movies, despite loving movies.
Love these movies 🖤 I have a lament configuration or puzzle box like that on my art desk😈
So so so very happy you watched this one. One of my absolute favorite horror movies. It looks as if you enjoyed it and if your so inclined so watch more of them its probably best to not go beyond the fourth one. Your also correct about The Conjuring, it is a right proper scarry and unsettling movie.
I am writing this to help out dasha and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰

Hi Dasha. Can't believe you watched Hellraiser!! That's awesome. Such a cool old horror. Always loved this movie. But the second movie is my favorite, watched that one so many times. Hope you watch more old horrors. Take care.
Yay for Clive Barker… welcome
I remember watching this as a teenager in the late 80's, the part that made me feel the most uncomfortable was that doorway and nail that ripped the skin on the back of his hand. That's because out of all the gore in the movie it was the most likely real world injury, so was the hardest to see....I get a feeling from Dasha's reaction, she felt that way too.
Man, saw this in the 80s as a kid, in 2027, it'll be the 40th anniversary.
"The box! You opened it, We came!" and thats how you get 100K
I can’t wait for part two!
One of my favorites watching one of my favorites ❤
Hello dasha its always good to see you and all of your wonderful reactions I've seen this movie a long time ago but you made the reaction even more better made me want to watch it thank you for all your great movies its been a while that ive seen a horror movie big shout out from south america Ecuador blessing💯👍😀👍 🙏💖💖💖
"They should put a sticker on the box saying don't open"
Casual horror movie fan here. This movie is known for its special effects. It's not as insane as The Thing (for the time), but they are very innovative. Hellraiser 2 and 3 are good sequels as well (anything after that is terrible unfortunately). My favorite is 2.
The Conjuring is a good horror movie, especially for modern horror, which mostly tends to be so predictable and very reliant on fake looking CG. That said, I think that The Descent is in the running for the scariest horror movie of all time, or perhaps the best horror movie of all time. It all depends on what scares you, of course, but this movie is incredibly underrated and incredibly scary. If you decide to watch it, make sure that you watch the UK/original version, not the US version. Cheers!
The father plays one of the best characters on Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Dasha, if you never watch DS9, I'LL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART
Here for the thumbnails
Man every video I watch your eyes get brighter 🌹
The first two are classics, but Hellraiser 3 is the greatest horror film of all time.
This is a disturbing film and Clive Barker is the master of disturbing! Great reaction Dasha
Here's Where the Story Ends by The Sundays.😊
Body horror is generally more focused on revolting transformations to the body, often to the main character directly.
The Hell Priest is such an iconic horror villain. My absolute favorite modern movie monster.
Loving all the horror reactions of late. For me this is one of the best horror movies. The sequel is also a good watch.
"Nothing personal, baby" (to Julia)
instant watch and like. Love this movie the 2nd one is the direct sequel closing the kirsty arc
"But somehow Julia turned out to be the biggest monster."
That was the original idea. Clive Barker wanted Julia to be The Big Bad of the series; he had no idea The Cenobites would become immediate icons. Clare Higgins was a stage actor who didn't want to be an '80s boogeyman so the series changed their focus to The Cenobites.
HELLRAISER 1 & 2 are the best. Part 2 has most of the worldbuilding/lore in it. HELLRAISER 3 and 4 (Producer's cut) are okay, but everything after that is pure crap. Most of them didn't even start out as HELLRAISER screenplays, they were turned into them.
This would've been one of the most awesome horror movie ever if they had the effects budget of the Hellbound sequel. Watch the sequel, but be aware that the rest of the franchise becomes sadly ridiculous and silly past the first sequel.
The next level of horror films is the 2008 French version of "Martyrs." Watch at your own risk.
Great job Dasha! Glad you got to this movie and you handled it well. Keep up the great work.
Instead of her russian greeting we get a little scare sound from her. Good on you for changing your opening, still enjoy your intro greetings dont get me wrong. Also noticed your pronounciation of "thriller" was right on point.
Hey Dasha, here's a little trick to help with horror films. When I was little I loved to watch scary movies but I had a huge imagination so I couldn't fall asleep. If you mute the sound when the music ramps up and you think something scary is about to happen it makes it way easier to watch. Sounds like nonsense but mute any scary film and they're much more tolerable. It's crazy how much the audio affects us as much or more than the visual. Anyway, these films are kind of lower quality (especially the earlier ones) but the stories are really interesting. Cheers.
My favorite is probably Hellraiser II, but I really like all the Hellraiser movies, even the recent reboot I thought was really well done. I dunno if you’re up to watch any more, but I love your reactions to these horror movies lately!
Nice. Just reread story last week
Priviet Dasha. This is Clive Barker's masterpiece. This would be perfect for Halloween as well. Nice reaction. Don't mess with Pinhead and his Cenobites. I suggest the sequel. This is a nice cult classic. Speaking of a cube, I suggest Cube (1997) and Scanners (1981).
Great reaction. 😊
It's a shame. Clive Barker's writing is SOOOOO imaginative, it begs to be made into a movie. But the 80s just did not have the technology to match the scope of that writing. Nightbreed really suffered despite the incredible make up effects. We need these remade with someone like Guilermo del Toro making projects like Weaveworld and Imajica.
Hellraiser 2: Unrated. Gotta do it!
It’s the thumbnail for me
Pinhead is one horror villian you don't fuck with
That screencap😂😂😂😂
Hello.First let me say that it would have been cool if,in the thumbnail you combined your face with the face of the Cenobite with the pins in his face,who we fans callPinhead even though Clive Barker,the author(more about him in a few seconds) prefers the term Hellpriest,which is the name used in the remake.I’m very happy you got around to watching this( it to mention getting through it) because horror is one of my favorite genres and this is one of my very favorite horror movies.Most of the sequels are forgettable and irrelavent,so no need to worry about them.I mentioned that I was going to bring up Clive Barker again,and the reason is I don’t know if you like reading horror but if you do I wanted to recommend his six books of short stories called Books of Blood.They are weird,different,creative,and changed horror.Also.it’s interesting that you said )ilia was the real monster,because she was in fact meant to be the main villian of the franchise,but the actress,Claire Higgins,did not want to do any more after the second one,so Pinhead became the main villian.
