Stephen King was once famously quoted as saying, "I have seen the future of horror...his name is Clive Barker". That future was realised in 1987 with the release of Barker's directorial debut Hellraiser. Based on his own novella "The Hellbound Heart", Barker's Hellraiser sees Larry (Andrew Robinson) and his wife Julia (Clare Higgins) move into their new home, unaware that something evil lurks beneath the floorboards of the dilapidated house - something that wants human blood.
