A ok sequel, nothing beats Barkers own, but this is well worth a look. Oh, and is there a cooler bad boy than Pinhead? :)

MCT:July 23, 2008The first reel of this movie is a recap of the last movie - and it's just the same footage played again, not anything new. The rest of the movie tries to be Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. The script is not only bad, the acting and editing are awkward to fit it. The only things I liked about this movie were a few shots of the Cenobites, especially where the main four are in their chain room, and again their world/philosophy is underexplained. I like them showing a Pinhead origins time lapse shot of his lines and nails being imposed on his face. Loving the gut-face Cenobite but disappointed by the mad shrink Cenobite. I like the Escher style labyrinth, but why only a few angles of it? I don't care about any of these characters, and I think continuing the storyline from the first was a horrible idea. The effects and blood are at least WAY better in this one compared to the first, but not enough to cover the brittle boned tale it hangs upon. Don't bother with this whole movie; just look up the best clips on youtube or summat.

amazing, a great folluw up to Clive Barkers masterpiece... i really love this series, this movie i assume was a great inspiration to all modern torture flicks cause this movie brings on the gore and the disturbing, and the really cool graphics for its age. AMAZING MOVIE!
-
MCT:July 3, 2008As classic as the first. Not quite as captivating psychologically but the mysticism/fantasy they replaced it with is a good trade-off.
-
MCT:June 11, 2008a worthy sequel! it totally expands on the mythology and characters of the first film, as well as revealing certain revelations about key characters! an excellent horror film ,and a must see for any hellraiser and clive barker fan!

Definitely the goriest of the series but just by a little bit. The concept is pretty cool but could've resulted in a much better film. Even so, both gore and Pinhead fans will not be dissapointed... yet.
73/100 -

Dr.Chanard is one of my favorite horror characters ever. While the first Hellraiser introduced us to the Cenobites and the Box, Hellbound gives them more (much deserved) screen time.

"The story and characters were a little bit chessy, but is the most disturbing in the series. 75/100"

Not as scary as the original...but opens up the evil characters more...gives some background on them...
-

I think this actually tops the first one, as there isn't as much time wasted on the lead up. This is truly a worthy follow up.

Once I finished viewing the first one, I immediately began seeing this one. Then, I realized that one more positive point on Hellraiser's legacy, is the fact that reminds me in some way an extended concept story from the infamous Tales from The Crypt. This one begins where the last one ended, so, it really never reaches the end. But, being this one slightly not as good as the first one, I fear all the following attempts to continue the Hellraiser's reign of horror. Extra credits for the ORIGINAL - not all that modern disgusting mass appealing habit of including premade songs from "bands" - soundtrack.

I knew better, I can only blame myself.
At times the production values are better than the first, but that isn't saying much. -
MCT:October 4, 2007
A very gory sequel that follows the story which always a good thing in my book.A must see for any Hellraiser fan or gore-hounds.

After the strange events of the first movie,Kirsty is sent to a Institution for the Mentally Sick, commanded by the mysterious Dr. Channard,a crazed psychologist who is willing to open the doors of hell by manipulating the Puzzle Box.In doing so,Channard brings Kirsty's perverse stepmother Julia back to life,and consequently he provokes the rage of the dreadful cenobites,the cruel and evil creatures that give pleasure and pain in the same measure.Hellbound Hellraiser 2 is an extremely well-done film,thanks to the generous budget given to newcomer filmmaker Tony Randel and a first-rate production.The special effects are simply terrific (specially considering the time in which the movie was done,1988) and they create a bombastic,scary visual.I never saw a movie with such an incredible scenery and imagery,except maybe for Dark City.Clive Barker's vision of hell is brought to life with mastery through the work of Randel and Director of Photography Robin Vidgeon. The plot sustains the tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish,though the first half hour of Hellbound: Hellraiser II is a little bit slow and descriptive (but never boring); a great portion of the action and the terror is concentrated in the last minutes. The last thirty ones are a realistic and gutsy "tour de force" through fear,violence and suffering.This is definitively a masterpiece, but not for the squeamish.Hellbound: Hellraiser II is rated R for extreme violence and sex scenes,it runs 99 minutes(uncut version released by Anchor Bay).It stars Clare Higgins as Julia, Ashley Laurence as Kirsty, Imogen Boorman as Tiffany,William Hope as Kyle McRae and Kenneth Cranham as Dr. Channard.If you like this movie, you might also enjoy Phenomena and Suspiria.

MCT:August 26, 2007Wasn't a big fan of the sequel to an odd original idea. They should have left this series to one movie because the gore continues to get worse. That is one of the only thing these sequels have. Gore, cheesy plots, and bad acting.

I likes this better than the first, mainly because the alternate world is pretty cool in my opinion. More engrossing.

Gross, but good. I liked their surrealism they used in hell with very little special effects. But really they could have used some sun or something, it was too much Noir for just one movie.
-
MCT:July 16, 2007
I love em all. Give me Hellraiser any given day and I will show you one happy (like retarded happy), lady.
I am not normally interested in sequels - but this one carries the torch and picks up where the first one left off. Nicely done. -
MCT:July 13, 2007
If you like gore and images that make your skin crawl, this is so your movie. Definetely not for the weak hearted. I'm still getting shivers.

Definitely the best of the Hellraiser series, but in terms of a sequel surpassing the original,......how about Terminator 2?
