Summary: Splatterpunk Classic
Review: This is the mother of all Hellraiser movies! The carnage of this movie is pretty much unparalled by any other in the series... If you are a horror buff you will cringe at the manifesto disgusto that is Hellbound:Hellraiser 2. If you have always wanted to know just how strong your stomach is in the sight of gore...you shall soon find out. If you can sit through the famous "insane person with a razor blade scene" then you can sit through anything. This movie is definitely not for the week-stomached or those who do not love a good horror flick... this is a cult flick that will never die... Happy viewing. Have some popcorn with this carnage and candy...

Summary: What a great sequel!
Review: This movie rocks. I couldn't belive that Clive actually made this film better than the original. The Cenobites are SCARY. I love how the character Kristy, returns with a strong will and she wants revenge. Pinhead's true face is revealed as well as the other Cenobites. This is truley a masterpiece, belive me I know my horror movies. Don't wait, buy this right now.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Up to Par
Review: Though this movie tries to follow in the first movie's footsteps, it fails in many area. Peter Adkins took a great idea and scattered it too far for anyone to piece back together. The beginning starts off well enough, but after Julia's resurrection, the film becomes confused and lost. The body count is higher, the blood flow more copious, but the story in general is flawed and ambiguous. The rest of the sequals weren't much better, eiher.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IS THE D.V.D. THE FULL UN-CUT VERSION?
Review: Hellraiser II is a cool movie that can stand proudly next to the original, unlike some inferior sequels, to the all time classic horror movies.

Apart from the major continuity error, and plot oversights (which seems to be a major trademark in ALL of Clive Barker's movies and books), like how come London has all of a sudden been magically transported in to America? When the little girl opens the box, (the same goes for Kirsty in the original) how come hooks don't jump out and start tearing her apart.

But apart from that, it was a cool movie, it was one of many rare horror movies in the nineties (before Scream made it cool again), amongst all the Big Budgeted no brainers, it was cool to see a good horror movie like: In the Mouth of Madness, The Prophecy, Death Machine The People Under the Stairs.

But I get the feeling now, that horror films such as Scream are becoming like a scooby doo senario, I'm just waiting for the killer to say, 'and I would of gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you pesky kids.'

I'm waiting paitenly for my favorate 80's horror films to come out on DVD. I was wondering if the DVD version of Hellraiser II, was the full un-cut version, and if it was worth getting? Please let me know thanks. Hellraiser 1 and 2 are the best and cool horror films in the series.

Summary: The Ultimate Horror Movie!
Review: Well, this is it. The single greatest horror movie ever (in my opinion). This is what most horror movies strive to accomplish, but most, like the Scream movies or most any other horror film in the 90's, fail to accomplish. This film continues where the first one left off, so I recommend checking out the first one before watching this. I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but what I will say it that this movie has some of the most disturbing imagery, intelligent dialog, and creative ideas ever in a horror film, and Clive Barker was at the top of his game when this was made. A fair warning, though, this movie made my good friend, who is a 19 year old female, leave the room and start crying. If that doesn't say much for a horror film, I don't know what does. And if you can, try to get the un-rated version of the DVD, it has some extra footage any real psycho like me shouldn't be without.

Summary: Yahoo!
Review: They don't get much better than this. Apart from inexplicably relocating from the UK to the USA it's not a sequal it's a continuation. Keeps the pace of the first one marvelously and even manages to turn a villian into a sypathetic hero (not easy when he's a professional sadist!). The makeup is incredable and the plot intense. If you're going to watch it, do so back to back with the first one to get the full effect.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not really a sequel, but a continuation
Review: this film should be viewed as more of a continuation than a sequel since it just continues after the events from part 1. kirsty this time goes off to look for her father in hell but ends up getting much more than she bargained for when the cenobites show. this film rates very high since with the continuation it followed the dark atmosphere that the first one relished in. the only problem is that clive barker should've returned to the helmer's chair and directed this piece. don't get me wrong, as it's not a bad film (it's great actually) but i'm just thinking of what could've been had clive himself done it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: If you thougt the first one was scary.....
Review: Picking up where the first one left off kirsty is in a mental institution being studied by the evil docter chinard who wants to open the gates of hell for further study and gets alot more than he bargained for kirsty goes to the depths of hell looking for her father going in to the world of demons and murderers and eventually the evil docter chinard where the laberynth is found hellraiser 2 is scaryer and bloodyer than the first this is where I Beleave the movie series should have stopped

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The cenobites return
Review: An hour after the first film, we are rejoined with Kirsty, who now is in a mental hospital.

This is the last film where pinhead is unique, after this (hellraiser 3-4) he acts like Freddy, talking too much and un threatening.

I liked this movie it had quite a good ending and plenty of gore.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: As creepy as the first one, but not as good
Review: This film picks up right where the last one left off, with the heroine of the story defeating both the Cenobites and her psycho uncle Frank. The one thing that made the first one so interesting was the fact that she had to defeat two different kinds of menaces; the same thing goes for this second installment. In this one, she is once again up against the Cenobites (led by the very creepy Pinhead), but she also has to deal with the hellish reincarnation of her dead stepmother, and the insane doctor who is trying to treat her at a hospital. This one actually takes the audience into the world of the Cenobites, and trust me, it's not a pretty place. It has as much gore as the first one, but the story is a lot thinner, and I was not as scared as I was watching the first one. Still though, this is a good film to watch on a Saturday night in the dark if you are up for a fun fright-fest. But once again, I wouldn't recommend watching it alone. It's just too creepy that way.
