This is a mess of a film. Style over content, it never seems to know what it wants to achieve. It does have some really good moments but they never feel intentional and they are always overshadowed by terrible acting, pointless scenes and stupid story lines! Good special effects/...( read more)
The 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 on...( read more)

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 disappointed... yet.

far more epic, ambitious, and complex than the first one, and I'm quite sure that this is superior than the original. And although this is made only with a limited budget, one can still see the imagination and vision that the filmmakers have. Simply put, "Hellbound: Hellraiser 2"...( read more)

The best in the series,probly cuz it descends into the creation,and world of the cenobites.But also because they were explained and are no longer as creepy,they were killed,and replaced by a new,more vile soul...I'm speaking of Dr. Channard.That's beside the point though,it's by far the best in the series,a must watch for Clive Barker fans.
Definitely the best of the Hellraiser series, but in terms of a sequel surpassing the original,......how about Terminator 2?
