Hellraiser - The gateway to Hell is a horror film of the English author Clive Barker , who in his novel The Gates of Hell ( The Hellbound Heart is based). Its artful images set the film apart from many other horror films and have given it cult status .

The uncut original version was only published in Germany in 2011 and until then was only available as an import, e.g. from Austria.

action

Frank buys in a cafe in the East one with ornaments decorated cubes of a thin man. Back in his home in western civilization, he examines the cube and discovers a mechanism: he opens it, turns it and puts it back together again. The cube opens the door to another dimension, in which Zenobites, known as cenobites, experiment with unimaginable sensual experiences. Frank is captured in her dimension by the Zenobites.

An uncertain period later, Frank's brother Larry moves into the house with his wife Julia. A mishap happens when moving in: Larry is injured when he tries to carry a bulky white bed mattress to the first floor with the help of two delivery men, on the back of his right hand on a nail protruding from a wooden post and blood drips from his torn hand onto the wooden floorboards in the attic . As a result, Frank begins to materialize a new body and make contact with his sister-in-law Julia. With this he had an affair behind his brother's back . The undead Frank casts Julia under his spell. His body initially consists only of the bones and the most important organs. In order to materialize again completely and to be able to finally escape the Zenobites, he needs more blood.

By beguiling strange gentlemen on the way and taking them home with her, the manipulated Julia lures more and more male guests who are hoping for an amorous adventure to the attic, where Julia kills the unsuspecting visitors from behind with a hammer and lets Frank suck them. Through the bloody victims, Frank increasingly materializes into a complete human being. But due to a mishap, the golden adorned Rubik's Cube falls into the hands of Kirsty, Larry's daughter from his first marriage, who opens the cryptic gate again. Pressed by the hideous creatures that suddenly appear in the room, Kirsty in desperation offers the Zenobites her help to betray the fleeing Frank so that the Zenobites can bring him back into their world.

Motifs

Zenobites

The Zenobites (the name is derived from Koinobitentum ) are members of the "Order of the Gash" ("Order of the Gash"), they call themselves theologians of this order. According to their self-portrayal, they are "Explorers in the further regions of Experience", accordingly they appear to some people like angels , to other people like demons ("Demons to some - Angels to Others") . The entity referred to as "Engineer" , which appears in the novel as well as in the first (as "Lumpenmann") and fifth part of the film series, seems to be in the "Order of the Gash" about Pinhead. The Zenobites, originally portrayed against a religiously neutral background in “The Hellbound Heart”, quickly acquired a character trait that was diabolical from a Christian perspective through the various film adaptations .

The character of Pinhead appears in all Hellraiser films. However, she appeared under the name "Pinhead" in the second part of the series, in the novel he is only one of the "Cenobites". In the film version he is listed in the credits as "Lead Cenobite".

In the second and especially the third film in the series, the history of the Pinhead is discussed in more detail. Formerly, Captain Elliot Spencer, his former name, was a British officer stationed in India during the First World War . He opens a cube-shaped puzzle box during a solitary ritual . The solution to the puzzle gives the man plagued by the horrors of war an expansion of existence in a cruel and bizarre way. Drawn into the labyrinth of Leviathan by the chains typical of the Hellraiser saga , Spencer undergoes a physical change. From then on, horizontal and vertical scars adorn his ashen, bald skull. A nail is hammered into it at each of their intersections. Since then he has been Pinhead, arguably the most famous Zenobite. His likeness adorns countless posters, t-shirts and other merchandise.

The box

The cube, also known as the music box , LeMarchand box , medium or lament configuration (roughly “lamentation construct”) or simply the box , appears in all of the films in the series. The cube is said to have been made by the French toy maker Philip LeMarchand in 1749; Different stories emerged about his motivations. In addition to the Lament Configuration, he is said to have developed other cubes until its alleged disappearance in 1811. Some of these cubes appear in the sequels to Hellraiser , others in comics or in fan stories. For the idea of ​​a box as a gate or door and an unlockable lock to another dimension, see also mechanical puzzles , puzzles and impossible figures by MC Escher .

In reality, the Chinese puzzle box was designed by designer Simon Sayce. The cube is made of wood and has the dimensions 3 × 3 × 3 inches (= 7.6 × 7.6 × 7.6 centimeters), because the combination with the number 3 is said to have magical powers. For the golden ornaments on the cube, designer Simon Sayce was inspired by medieval writings from North Africa and China as well as ancient English mythology. In the gold-black decorations of the cube, there are subtly drawn symbols that you only recognize when you look closely, for example the stylized face of a woman, a crawling man and some sabers. In addition, artist Sayce was inspired by the collection of the Pitt Rivers Museum , which exhibits old instruments of torture and surgical instruments.

Reviews

On Rotten Tomatoes , the film received a positive rating of 68%, with 40 reviews counted, Metacritic determined a Metascore of 57 out of 100 based on 16 reviews. In the Internet Movie Database it received an average of 7.0 out of 10 points.

Kim Newman wrote in the Monthly Film Bulletin that the most noticeable quality of Hellraiser was its "seriousness" - especially at a time when horror films like Nightmare or The Dance of the Devils tended to be comical. Although the film suffers from some concessions, it represents a return to "innovative" horror cinema. Peter Bradshaw described the film in the Guardian in retrospect as "extremely bizarre and completely insane", but "effective", Bob Mccabe in the Empire as one of the Most "disturbing" horror films of the last 20 years.

Richard Harrington called Hellraiser in the Washington Post "a dark, often unsettling, and occasionally terrifying film," but said that Barker hadn't quite made it to film. The New York Times found the actors "uninteresting", with the special effects being "not bad". In the Variety , the film was described as "well done" and "well played", and the visual effects were also carried out "with skill". Roger Ebert , on the other hand, rated Hellraiser negatively in the Chicago Sun-Times and wrote: "This film has no wit, style or purpose, and the real horror about this is that the actors play this creative bankruptcy and the technicians have to implement it."

The lexicon of international films judged: “Naively constructed horror film that relies entirely on the hideousness of its special effects and does not deserve any interest in terms of staging or presentation. The string of predictable shock effects is boring in the long run, despite the occasional glimmer of irony. ”Thomas Vesely described the film on allesfilm.com as a“ true classic of the genre ”as well as“ a masterpiece of horror ”. The “excellent” performances, the direction and the “fabulous” script were praised. Björn Helbig gave 4.5 out of 5 stars to film starts and said: “Barker has now shown in his numerous novels that he is about much more than simply shocking - although“ Hellraiser ”is by no means lacking in drastic scenes. [...] But actually, in his dark drama, Barker tells the story of a classic fairy tale in which the wicked stepmother puts her self-interest above that of the family. "Hellraiser" is about human qualities, love and suffering, greed, lust, longing and the search for fulfillment. "

Sequels and impact history

Hellraiser is considered a milestone in horror cinema. In addition to Nightmare on Elm Street , it was one of the most unusual and also most successful horror films of the 1980s. In the film adaptation of his novel The Hellbound Heart, Clive Barker showed a dark, oppressive version of human characteristics such as morality or love, but also of the supernatural and the supernatural. To date, nine sequels have been released to the film, some of them directly as video productions without theatrical release :

As is often the case with film series, the quality and aspiration of the individual parts vary greatly. For many fans, the first sequel from 1988 ( Hellbound ) is considered the highlight of the series, as a significant part of the plot takes place in the dimension of the Zenobites. However, many fans also see it as the main weakness of the second part that Zenobites are demystified in an extremely clumsy way.

Since Bloodline flopped commercially, the decision was made not to produce the Hellraiser films for the cinema anymore; instead, the films will be marketed directly via video and DVD. These sequels are quite controversial with fans and critics, as the Zenobites only appear as secondary characters and the films are in part more in the mystery genre than in horror or splatter .

Inferno is considered a more successful form of these films by critics and many fans, and it can easily be described as exciting mystery horror. In Hellseeker , Kirsty Cotton from the first three parts appears again, but the film largely dispenses with the Hellraiser- typical game with breaking taboos . Deader , the seventh part of the series, ties in with some of the more typical motifs of the series, but hardly exploits them. The eighth part of the film series, Hellworld , was not originally intended to be a Hellraiser film; the script, which was too thin, was enriched with a few motifs in order to make the film part of the series almost retrospectively.

In the 2011 film Hellraiser: Revelations , the character of Pinhead was not portrayed by Doug Bradley for the first time in the film series.

In addition to the films, the story of the Zenobites and the music boxes was continued in comics and also by fans on the Internet. The background described cautiously in The Hellbound Heart was expanded to include many details.

Sonar Entertainment is working on a television series adaptation of the franchise. Robert Halmi Sr. acquired the production rights on April 1st, 2012 at the MipTV Market in Cannes, France.

background

  • After an offer of interpretation by the actors and the film crew, the forbidden love between the married wife Julia Cotton and Frank, who was resurrected from hell as a bloody skinless monster, is the central story in the horror film Hellraiser , a sick love with perverse facets. This is also indicated by the title of the short story The Hellbound Heart on which the film is based , which roughly means the heart connected with hell in German .
  • Was shot Hellraiser in the film studio The Production Village in Cricklewood in London . Filming began in September 1986.
  • The soundtrack for the first part of the series was recorded by the British industrial band Coil , but was rejected by the film's production company.
  • Before the first Hellraiser film was released, there were long discussions about the title. Clive Barker suggested the title Sadomasochists from beyond the Grave (dt. Sadomasochisten from beyond the grave ) before, an employee even suggested the film What a Woman Will Do for a Good Fuck (dt. What will a woman do for a good fuck ) to call.
  • A first draft drawn by makeup artist John Cormican, an expert in prosthetic make-up, was to give the figure of Zenobite leader Pinhead an ethnic and tribal look, with influences from African folk culture and piercings in the nose and ears. Piercings were exotic face jewelry at that time and not yet established in broad western society. During the creation process, the pinhead design with the grid-shaped scars in the bald scalp and the nails stuck symmetrically in the skull prevailed. In this context, should lead Cenobite , have fine needles in his head so he got the name Pinhead, in German translated needle head . When these needles did not come into their own in some test photographs, the team swapped the thin needles for stronger nails, made of brass themselves . Nevertheless, the figure kept its name Pinhead and was not renamed Nailhead. The female zenobite, on the other hand, should have a long, thin metal rod with iron feathers stuck across both cheeks. Instead, this creature received a bloody open wound in the larynx area of ​​the neck, in the form of a vagina with a transverse spine in it.
  • Originally, the character of the Zenobite Chatterer, who is constantly chattering his teeth, was to be played by actor Nicholas Vince in a stooped position, similar to the bent forward posture of a monkey, because some species of monkey such as the chimpanzee also chatter their teeth. This idea was rejected.
  • To inspire the scene design with the bleeding skinless monster Frank, creator Clive Barker and makeup artist Bob Keen visited an autopsy at a medical school in London to watch a doctor skin a real corpse with students. During the opening of the body, Bob Keen vomited.
  • According to the interpretation of actor Andrew Robinson, the unequal brothers Larry and Frank Cotton represent the good and the bad, the light and the dark, complementing each other.
  • The last words of actor Andrew Robinson in the role of Frank Cotton (in German: " Jesus wept for Lazarus ") were improvised by him and taken over into the film. It is a biblical quote from John 11:35 - "And Jesus wept." (According to the Luther translation: "And Jesus' eyes went over.") This scene was cut out in the censored versions of the film. In the meantime, however, the uncut film is also available in Germany, with the relevant scene dubbed in German, for example in the bluRay box Clive Barker's Hellraiser Trilogy by Turbine Medien GmbH.
  • In the novel, the cube is described as black and smooth, not decorated with gold ornaments as in the film.
  • The film was indexed until April 2013, when it was deleted from the list. A re-examination of the FSK in February 2017 resulted in a release from the age of 16 for the uncut version.
  • In the German dubbing, the actor Helmut Krauss speaks the dark, threatening voice of Pinhead . From 1981 to 2020 Helmut Krauss played, in contrast to the speaking role in Hellraiser , the quirky neighbor Mr. Paschulke in the ZDF children's television series Löwenzahn at the side of the trailer dweller Peter Lustig , from 2006 next to actor Guido Hammesfahr as Fritz Fuchs .
  • Actor Andrew Robinson plays the role of upright husband Larry Cotton , who played the unscrupulous serial killer Scorpio in the 1971 thriller Dirty Harry .
  • At the beginning of Hellraiser's financial planning, Virgin Films agreed in 1986 to provide part of the budget for the film adaptation of the short story " The Hellbound Heart ", as the horror film genre was very popular in the mid-1980s, for example through the film series A Nightmare on Elm Street . Virgin Films was owned by British entrepreneur Richard Branson . However, Virgin Films later dropped out as a possible sponsor.
  • Regarding his role as cult figure Pinhead, which spurred his acting career, actor Doug Bradley likes to quote Boris Karloff , whose stagnant career as a performer was caused by the impersonation of the monster of Dr. Frankenstein was also revived.
  • In the scene in which "Frank the Monster" is reborn as a slimy skeleton through the blood of his brother Larry Cotton, which dripped onto the wooden floorboards of the attic, an orchestral waltz melody composed by film composer Christopher Young can be heard. For the scene in which the girl Kirsty Cotton is lying on her stomach on a hospital bed and playing around with the Chinese puzzle box, Young devised a bizarre canon of three melodies with bright music box-like bells in stereo that cross each other and create a cacophony . When composing this piece, Young oriented himself towards the sound of a celesta . In the immediately following shot, Kirsty Cotton, dressed in a white nightgown, runs away in a gloomy corridor from a huge scorpion-like monster with a piranha face. The monster that hangs along the walls is called The Engineer . The film team shot this chase scene for three weeks, 15 hours a day.
  • Scenic motifs that can be seen occasionally that stand alone intensify the atmosphere in the film. For example, you see a television with a flickering screen on which a flower opens and begins to bloom. Or a medical infusion bag hanging from a stand in the clear liquid of which red blood suddenly spreads and then bursts.
  • Compared to other horror characters that were popular at the same time in the 1980s, such as Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street , Michael Myers from Halloween or Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th , writer and director Clive Barker recognizes the difference that the figure he invented Pinhead was a " man of the world ". Creator Barker refers to the human past of Pinhead, who, before his resurrection as Zenobite leader, was a British general who traveled around the globe during and after the First World War . Barker compares the appearance of the Zenobites with the look of the Modern Primitives .
  • Through his two experimental short films, Salomé from 1973 and The Forbidden from 1978, which associatively string together individual moving motifs, Clive Barker's early work dealt with the nature of objects that were later reused in his Hellraiser horror films. Both short films are black and white, the film The Forbidden also has a dark negative look , which reinforces its ghostly atmosphere. In this way the films play with the chiaroscuro effect . Actor Doug Bradley takes part in both works. In the short film The Forbidden , a square wooden board with symmetrically arranged nails can be seen that cast a shadow by means of a glowing lamp. A hand draws enigmatic characters on a canvas with a fine brush. In between, anatomical drawings by the Belgian surgeon Andreas Vesalius are displayed. A snail crawls past. Furthermore, one sees a naked man with an erect penis , who is dancing wildly and turning in circles like a dervish . At the end of The Forbidden , another naked man, played by screenwriter Peter Atkins , lies on the floor with three people peeling off the skin. This is not a real molt, although these scenes look realistic, but rather layers of paint previously applied thickly to Atkins' body and dried. With the artificial skinning of the man, the short film offers a metaphor for the ambiguous term revelation, according to director Clive Barker .
  • In real life there is the body suspension movement , in which people voluntarily allow themselves to be suspended from ropes with hooks that are stabbed through the flesh. Often the thrill and adrenaline rush excite the participants in such sessions as in extreme sports. Often the participants also want to face the challenge of having a completely new body experience in this way, as a stress test.
