Sam M @Hourglass 3d Hellbound: Hellraiser II is a movie I that I have a lot of issues with, the good things about this movie are the acting, Ashley Laurence and Doug Bradley are still really good as Kirsty and Pinhead, but this movie feels more of a comedy then a Horror movie, some scenes had me laughing out loud, some of the story doesn't make sense to me, and it's also really boring See more Taylor H @TH0809 Dec 11 Very enjoyable even though the plot and characters remain rather convoluted. I enjoyed that this one was much faster paced in the first half than the original. I enjoyed Kirsty being the main character too. Gorgeous actress! Still lots of amazing body horror special effects. Plenty of sensuality too, like the women writhing in ecstasy under the sheets. The other world was very esoteric but really cool. I forgive these movies with plot, because they are very imaginative and the effects are so captivating, two things often missing from modern horror. Definitely still grotesque. I would watch this again for sure, probably moreso than the first one. See more Xane B @xabobinchuck Dec 1 I enjoyed the movie for the most part. The doctor puns got old pretty quick though. See more Maksim S @MaksimusMovies Nov 28 Hellbound: Hellraiser II expands the mythology of Clive Barker’s original with bold visual design and imaginative new horrors, but it struggles to recapture the relentless terror that made the first film so effective. The sequel leans heavily on elaborate set pieces and surreal visuals, sometimes at the expense of suspense and pacing. The Cenobites remain strikingly grotesque, and the film delivers moments of extreme gore, but the story feels convoluted, and the emotional stakes are less immediate. While fans of the original will appreciate the expanded universe and creative effects, the overall impact is diluted. Visually compelling and occasionally chilling, but ultimately a step down in terror—Hellbound entertains, yet doesn’t quite match the brilliance of its predecessor.

The first movie is primarily a darkly erotic slowburn horror film where this one is a bit faster paced, more primarily dark fantasy, but still keeps that dark erotic nature of the series that makes it what it is. I watched this series (the first 3 at least) for the first time in middle school and adores it and even then I knew I loved this one more than the original but the real test is if I end up enjoying the 3rd one as much as I originally did which we will see. I also didn't pick up on how much of this movie uses phallic imagery (like the doctor's cenobite form) and I didn't notice a lot of the symbolism in general until this watch which I really love. I will say there's obviously a lot cut out of the movie to do with the Cenobites (pinhead's backstory being extremely brief kinda brings that part down) and Chatterer having eyes only halfway through the movie (which in my opinion is ugly looking and I much prefer the eyeless design). Even with those gripes aside I adore this movie still and will say it's one of my favorites.

I loved learning the background story of the main cenobite & his crew, seeing Pinhead follow the rules of the Puzzle World & witnessing a boss battle between the originals & the crazed doctor cenobite!
