Review of Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) by Josh B — 30 Aug 2007
Atmospheric, surreal, intensely frightening, incredibly gory, and expertly written and acted, Hellbound: Hellraiser II is the perfect example of a sequel that is far superior to the original in both characters and content.
The story is better, and even the directing is better. The first Hellraiser is always looked at as the instant classic, but the truth is that Hellbound is better in every way. The cenobites are more menacing, Pinhead himself seems to be a touch more menacing, and Kirsty is even more likeable in this installment.
Definitely not for people who can't handle intensely disturbing/disgusting material.
