![]() According to actor Andrew Robinson (per The Clive Barker Archives), the story is a metaphor for people running away from their problems - until the past literally comes back to haunt them. However, when the demons, homicides, and cannibalism are removed from the equation, "Hellraiser" is a story about human beings at their most selfish and wicked. ![]() The idea of people, who could be our neighbors, harboring dangerous secrets is truly disturbing. Unlike the Cenobites, Julia and Frank are unrestrained, unbound by rules, and off the rails. Frank consumes their flesh to sustain himself before stealing his brother's skin. Julia spends most of the movie seducing men and beating them to death with a hammer. Furthermore, they're willing to sacrifice their so-called loved ones in order to bring their nefarious plans to life. Julia (Clare Higgins) and Frank (Sean Chapman) are the real villains in "Hellraiser." Their passion-fueled - and utterly debaucherous - love affair drives them to commit murder, after all. ![]()
