Is Hellraiser the most sadistic twisted Horror film??

Considering the macarbe nature and masarquistic infliction of pain does this make it the most sadistic horror film.

"Hellraiser" is very sadistic, indeed.
It's also a wonderful dark movie with a fantastic atmosphere... but I think that there are some movies that are more sadistic. The classic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is one of these I think...

You could make a case for "Hellraiser". Pinhead certainly is sadistic.

scary

the 1st hellraiser was pretty gory and made me sick
the 2nd was better IMO b/c i could stand to watch it
the 3rd was my fav! and bloodline was great story telling

they're bad but no worst than the rest...pinhead has quite a
bit of heart actually...he could be disturbing but when he's good
he's awesome

let me start by saying hellraiser is cool (i know i might get bashed for what i am bout to say)

i liked hellraiser but i thought that there are much better horror movies out there....i just got through watching Candyman last night with Arioch and we both agreed that it is better than hellraiser.........(sorry arioch for bringing you into this..it might be a slaughter)

anyway hellraiser is definetely sadistic but the way they go about showing it is just kinda .....way to out there for me......some scenes just look fake....i will leave it at that


oh yeah when responding .........be gentle lmao:p

Ahh well, bring out the guns Mirth. I totally agree, like we were disscussing earlier today. Hellraiser just seems overdone to me. Like the whole point of the movie is to be extreme and gory. It doesnt scare me AT ALL, never has. The effects look kinda dated by todays standards and not good dated like Brain Dead or Evil dead where its comedic, hellraiser is supposed to be taken seriously so when it looks fake the movie suffers.

Its a classic i guess, and everyone on the board thinks pinhead is gods gift to Horror icons but he just doesnt do it for me. Niether do his other cenobites. Maybe im just takin it too seriously and its kinda supposed to be corny but i dont know. The ONLY part i like about hellraiser is UNCLE FRANK which is the best character. I think they should have made the series about him, i think i couldve gotten into that a little more.

Alright, me and mirth have made our cases, so let the flamming begin. I know we are definitely in the minority in not adoring the hellraiser series so lets get it on.

I'd say the answer to this question would be yes, if it was confined to the popular compeditors. Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Chucky, Candyman, Last Sumer, Scream, Ring, Sixth Sense....those are all the kind of movies that people who aren't big horror fans go looking for. Hellraiser is something that some people who come in to the video store I work in won't even touch. It is too much for them. It all depends on the person watching it because for some of us, we've seen movies that are far worse, yet for others My Little Pony would be terrifying.
