Hellraiser films are considered by many as the best and the longest horror series ever, but there are those who find issues with the lack of diversity in the plot of the subsequent sequels or those who complain about the budgetary restraints that plagued the films. However, no true horror fan will disagree that Clive Barker’s 1987 film was anything short of a classic. And although the sequels may not have been as good as the first film, they are good horror films in their own right. Great horror films like The Thing and Candyman were based on short stories or novellas, and Hellraiser follows suit. Clive Barker wrote the novella The Hellbound Heart in 1986, and soon, he was directing a film based on his own piece of literature. It was his revolutionary style of storytelling that made the film’s characters and the monsters so intriguing. Cenobites are demonic entities from another labyrinth-like hellish realm that Leviathan rules. Leviathan is the God of flesh and pleasure, and all Cenobites see flesh as an object of craft, something that should be worked upon to create pieces of art. They exist to serve their master and protect his labyrinth, which is undeniably similar to hell.
