Mine goes to Hellraiser.At the time Clive Barker was like a god-figure in horror medium with Books of Blood and The Damnation Game.Hellraiser succeeds in the same splatterpunk vein and the domestic setting with claustrophopic small spaces works much better than some over ambitious Hell in Hellbound.Also best score ever.Other faves from '87 include the satanic Prince of Darkness,Angel Heart,Near Dark,Evil Dead II of course,the one and only Street Trash,and Argento's Opera.Truly a great year.
