Hellbound: Hellraiser II is a rare horror sequel in that it actually manages to exist for a reason other than to bank in on the original success. This film genuinely adds to the mythos of the first, and continues the stories of the first film's characters. The film picks up right after the first ended, finding Kirstie, who was the only one in her family to survive the first time around, being brought to a mental hospital because of her ravings about the Cenobites and their murder of her family. There she is the patient of Dr. Channard, who as it turns out is on a quest to summon the Cenobites and learn of their power. To do this, he resurrects Kirstie's stepmother, Julia, who started the whole mess in the first place. Kirstie learns of this just as she learns that her father is trapped by the Cenobites and needs her help, and thus she must find a way to save him. Dr. Channard uses a young patient who is gifted with puzzles to once more unleash the Cenobites, and thus new horrors are unleashed. I found this to be a really solid horror film. The gore was actually upped this time around, which shocked me becasue the original was disturbingly violent already. Also, I was very pleasantly surprised to get some backstory on Pinhead, the leader of the Cenobites, which was well incorporated into the story. The story itself, in fact, flowed quite well from the original, and was even very interesting. At the end of this film, it feels like there is an even greater level of closure than after the first one. This film is shockingly violent, first and foremost. There's no denying it. If you can't take that, avoid this at all cost. however, if that doesn't bother you (or you genuinely like it), then you will also be treated to a very good horror story, which is more than you usually get from a genre that has become a lot more about visceral and cheap thrills. I really enjoyed it.
What's great about it: Succeeds in all the ways that the original did, while somehow managing to elaborate on the original storyline
What's not so great: It's actually quite solid. I didn't notice too many negatives

This movie was great and still is. I saw it in the theaters as a kid and I remember many people being so grossed out they left the theatre early into the movie. Own this movie on dvd as it is a great movie. Pinhead is just flat out creepy.

This is one of the greatest underrated horror films of all time! I As a kid I was amazed on how gruesomely lifelike the the effects were back before cg was used on practically everything. The transfer to blu-ray is beautifully done as well as the sound. A must own for any horror fan.
