Hellraiser is a 1987 British horror film written and directed by Clive Barker, based upon his own novella The Hellbound Heart. The film spawned a series of sequels and was Barker's first feature film. Pinhead is the leader of the Cenobites, formerly human creatures from an extradimensional realm who travel to Earth through the Lament Configuration, and harvest human souls. The character was deliberately presented as a departure from the mute or wise-cracking 1980s horror movie villains who preceded him.
In the script for the original film, Barker describes Pinhead and the other cenobites as demons in his notes; the character himself, however, upon capturing Kirsty Cotton, identifies himself as neither explicitly angelic or demonic, stating that he and his fellow entourage are Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others.
Hellraiser is a reboot and will adhere closely to Clive Barker's Novella and will be released exclusively on HULU in 2022!
