Summary: Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 takes to the limits of pain
Review: Well, I`ve seen the unrated/not rated version and the r-rated version, and If you ask me...... then get the unrated/not rated cause the r-rated version had a few small scenes that were cut which I feel seemed really important to the film......

Summary: Surpasses the Original
Review: Kirstie Cotton is sent to a mental institution following the horrifing events that happend to her family in the first Hellraiser,and is still moring over the death of her father and has halutionations of his skinned corps, and has told the authorities about the horror story of her father and perverse step-mothers deaths but no one beleives her but the head doctor of the institution named Dr.Channard, a evil doctor who has been looking for another dimension and useses Kirsties story of Julia blood soaked matress to good use. Dr.Channard useses one of his mental patients to carve-off fleash-esting maggots of his body with a shaving-razor as blood spreads al-over the matress Julia died on, having her reserected and contenues feeding his patients to Julia so she can take him through the Cenobites diminion, as they use a mute patent named Tiffany, to solve the puzzle-box to open the gate to hell, and works as planed and is used as bait by Julia to be the latest updated cenobite munch powerful and deadlier than Pinhead,(and is revealed that pinhead had a human past)and starts to kill-off his mental patients one-by-one while doing surgical procedures with his supernatuaral matrix ability, and its up to kirstie and Tiffany to end the bloodbath.

HellBound:Hellraiser 2 will knock you of the edge of your seat and is not for the weak of the sromach for the non-stop blood and gore and deffenitly surpasses the original and is practicaly the best in the whole entirs series, I also recommend you see
Hellraiser III:Hell on Earth it is just about the same as the first two films but has a diferent feel to it,and picks up where Hellraiser 2 left off with Pinhead being traped in a stashu and also Hellraiser: Bloodline and Hellraiser: Inferno. Parts 4&5 do not match up with first three films but still a have good plotlines to them, Hellraiser 6: Hellseeker will be released this October and will pick up where Hellraiser to left off.

Hellbound:Hellraiser II is one of my favorite horror films of alltime and to me the best in genera and the only sequel to surpass its original like films like: Scream 2, I Still Know what you did Last Summer e.t.c. and is the best in the whole entire Hellraiser series because of lots of gore,blood,mutilation e.t.c. like something out of a X-rated film, I recommed "Hellbound:Hellraiser II"

Review: hellraiser:hellbound..
well so here's number 2 in the hellraiser story..

well i still think after seeing all the hellraiser films 112 times(at least) that the first is the best..but hell!..this one is great too..

i'm not much for number 2's or 3's or even number 6's....but i think it's great nevertheless...

now..in 1987 when the first hellraiser was shown i was to young to go see it..(i hate my mother for that..hehe)
well..i guess 3 is too young..*lol*

back to hellbound:
i like it..i like the acting,the monsters,the make up is cool(as always) and i like Pinhead who still gives me the creeps..he's well played be doug bradley...i respect that...

well..see it if you havn't allready..it's worth a look or 2

Summary: Suprisingly, this movie kicks ass!!!
Review: I've never ever liked horror films...but when I saw this movie, that changed completely!! Not only am I a big fan of Clive Barker(flippin' genius if you ask me), but the fact of using the concept of S & M and maybe even acupunture, was really brought out! Some people say this movie was way too gory and sick, but thats the way it was sapposed to be. Do you really think that there would be a film being made like this that would have pink bunnies and feathers instead of hooks and chains and Cenobites? Didn't think so. Speaking of Cenobites, those people(and/or demons) kicked [butt]!...though I would never enjoy becoming one...pins, hooks and chains tend to hurt a bit... But anyway, if you are looking for a suprisingly good film by an extreamly underrated writer, and if you have seen the first Hellraiser and are kinda sketchy about sequils, don't be! For this is a good one!!!

Summary: Gruesome, Gorey and Great!!
Review: I've said before I've never been a fan of sequels but I am a fan of Hellraiser II(Hellbound). It will never match the mystery and mystique and overall power of the original but it certainley tries. Spilling much more blood and having many more disturbing scenes is definately intriguing to me. The sequel brings back Kristy Cotton(Ashley Lawrence) as well as Pinhead(Doug Bradley) and his cast of cenobites. We learn in the sequel how the Cenobites were created and where they come from. The Cenobites, however, are faced with the challenge this time. If you loved Hellraiser you have to see Hellraiser II (Hellbound).

Summary: INSANE FUN!
Review: If one thing you loved about the original Hellraiser was the intellingence and simplcity then theirs a good chance you will hate Hellraiser 2, because it is a cheesey, crazy rollacoster ride through mountians of madness and exploding bodies and ripped off skin.

However complete gore fests like Hellraiser 2 are a pleasure too me, because I'm an adreniline freak. If your like me and like watching horror movies that like to shock than buy this.

Summary: Great Movie, Just not as good as the first
Review: Hellraiser 2: Hellbound is a good sequal, meeting the requirements that all sequels must: more blood, more terror, less character developement, and less thought put into the story. The reason why I gave Hellraiser 2 four stars is because out of the franchise Hellraiser 2 is the closest one to the all around goodness of the first Hellraiser. Hellraiser 2 is the last to feature the original cast of Cenobites (which also happens to be the best) as well as the origin of the head cenobite, Pinhead, played by Doug Bradley. Ashley Laurence, the actor who Portrays heroine Kristy Cotton, returns but her acting is cheesy, possibly due to the editing which makes a lot of her statements sound strange and out of place. However the best part of Hellraiser 2 is the creation of a new Cenobite (which is somewhat shown) Dr. Channard, which is one of the coolest Cenobites ever and has some great lines. All in All Hellraiser 2:Hellbound is a must see and a must have for any Hellraiser fan, what is seen is Hellraiser 2 is only briefly repeated in Hellraiser 3 and not very well.

Summary: Great film, but bogus widescreen...
Review: This is a terrific sequal, one of the better ones to come out in a horror series. The make-up effects and special effects are great. Clive Barker has proven to be a superior writer when it comes to horror, although it seems his tactics are to upset your stomach rather than frighten you. Don't get me wrong, Pinhead is a fantastic character, one of the best to come out since Freddy Krueger. I do recommend this movie.

But the DVD "claims" to offer both full-screen and wide-screen, but this it does not. The wide-screen is nothing more than the full-frame presentation with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, giving the illusion that it is in wide-screen. (Check it out for yourself, go to chapter 9 on the DVD and look at the elevator buttons, in full-screen, you'll see a button above the basement and maintenance ones, then watch it in wide-screen, and it is no longer there. Try it, you'll see.)

This is a great sequal to an amazing film, but if you like true wide-screen DVD's you'll be unsatisfied like myself. Later.

Summary: Hellbound Is Right!
Review: I didn't think it could get any worse than the original. I was so, so wrong. Hellrasier 2 is just as dark, cold, violent, and impossible to enjoy. The acting is of high camp value that is hard to take seriously at all. Pinhead is an interesting character, but he's used too thinly and performed too boring to really mean anything. The movie is just violent for violent's sake. Ridiculous, empty, and unenjoyable.
