Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Hellraiser is a 1987 horror film directed by Clive Barker, based on his novella The Hellbound Heart. It is the first film in the Hellraiser series.Somewhere in the orient, the hedonistic Frank Cotton acquires a puzzle box from a mysterious Chinese man. At his home in London he eventually figures out the configuration, before he is is dragged off by unseen forces. Some time later, his brother Larry and Larry's second wife Julia visit the house, and with Frank seemingly gone, decide to move in. By accident some of Larry's blood is spilled on the floor in the attic, and Frank rises from the dead as a skinless undead human. He tells Julia (with whom he had an affair in the past) that he has escaped from a dimension ruled by beings called Cenobites who merge the boundaries between pleasure and pain, and convinces her to keep it a secret from Larry and find men for him to feed off on. Meanwhile Larry's daughter Kirsty discovers the puzzle box, and comes face to face with the Cenobites, who are interested in getting Frank back to their realm.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Villainy: The Cenobites. When Frank solves the box in the book, they warn him that the otherworldly sensations they offer may not be what he's looking for and actually give him the chance to walk away. They also don't renege on their deal with Kirsty as they do here. They still aren't nearly as villainous here as they are from Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth onward, displaying a lot of Dark Is Not Evil and Blue and Orange Morality. | |

Ascended Extra: In the book, Pinhead is present but is not the lead Cenobite. The female Cenobite, the Chatterer, and the Engineer all have more prominent roles, but the film adaptation prevented this. The Chatterer could not speak (and the actor could not see), the Engineer was demoted and completely remade to the point of being unrecognizable, and the female Cenobite—while capable of speaking—had makeup that severely limited the actress' head and facial movements. Though fixed by the sequel, these problems meant Pinhead took point. Now he's the face of the franchise.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |
