'Hellraiser'
In 1987, author Clive Barker gave the horror genre a mighty jolt with his directorial debut, "Hellraiser." With a healthy lean on the twisted and the macabre, Barker's terrifying vision rooted its evil in both the supernatural and humanity, with the latter easily being the more wicked and vicious. At a time when the genre was saturated with slasher movies, "Hellraiser" gave horror fans something fresh and unique. But the movie had its share of detractors. Among them was film critic Roger Ebert who famously referred to the movie's "bankruptcy of imagination."
