God these movies are messed up. Overall pretty good. Very weird and had some crazy imagery.

Hellbound was just as good as the orginal, if not then very close. i think if your looking for a nice night of 80's horror Part 1 & 2 would be great choices
I may be on an island here but I thought the Hellraiser series was solid up until the 6th one. 1-5 are some of my favorite horror movies of all time, which I told Doug Bradley in girlish-freak-out fashion when I met him at a Cradle of Filth show a while back. The second one is by far my favorite though. The whole scene with the guy cutting himself and Julia coming out of the mattress is the stuff nightmares are made of. Great fucking movie!
one of my favorite movies of all times as you can tell by my avatar it ties with or even beats the orignal just because it has so much more gore in it.
It's not THAT great, people. I mean, as far as sequels go, this is pretty much as good as you get but I can't say it's better than the first or even say it's on par with it.
Not to say it's a bad movie or anything. It has some awesome cool/creepy shit going on but it doesn't feel as amazing or shocking and original as the first. Just sort of a rehash.
This is one I love even more than the first! I think it's because it's more morbid and it shows more of the Cenobite universe. But I still love the first one. You have to love Hellraiser
great sequel,but not as good as the first movie.
The scene were that guy cuts himself was disgusting!!! good acting, great score, great characters, and good plot.
I feel this is probably one of, if not the best sequel for any movie. Picking up exactly where the first leaves it, I sort of consider then to be the same movie. Hellbound: Hellraiser II certainly gives the original a run for its money. This is a mastery of character, bot twisted and deformed. it also shows us how a Cenobite is created, and gives us one of the most memorable ones next to Pinhead and Chatterer, Dr. Channard. I love this character, his so different to the others and doesn't abide by the rules. This vision of hell is also great, stating that everyone has a personal hell.
This film also has unforgettable scenes. *spoiler*
Like when Julia is brought back, its spin chilling to watch that guy cut himself up, sick, twisted and unusual. Thats what Hellraiser is about, and this keeps that intact very well. One to see, for any horror fan.
I love this one the best....its the best one of all...I dig when that bitch comes out of the mattress that was so great....also the doc was out of his mind...so I would recommend this one of all the Hellraisers to see.

Big fan of Clive Barker, and big fan of at least the first three Hellraiser movies. I know that 3 was probably shooting the franchise down the crap tube, but I still enjoyed it. Good first two if not three movies. Check them out if you haven't yet.
Overall this film has to be the best sequel to come out of the Hellraiser franchise the part with Kirsty wearing the skin of Julia was enough to make me ether laugh or throw up
Not so much a sequel but an extension of the first part, Hellraiser and Hellbound go hand in hand the same way Halloween 1 and 2 do. Returning characters from the first movie ensure the story remains strong with the evil Julia being resurrected and Kirsty having to fight her and the Cenobites one more time. The gore and pain is cranked up to the max and the story offers great expansions on the history of the box and Pinhead, giving us insight into the man behind the monster. The Cenobites make their return ,throw an evil doctor turned Cenobite plus lashings of ultra violence and bucket loads of gore into the mix and you have one of the best horror sequels ever made. Shame it all went downhill after this superb film.
Every bit as good as the first. Fantastic music, cinemetography, acting, and storyline. Very gory too which I loved. Pinhead and Kirsty make a triumphant return. The doctor Cenobite fighting Pinhead, the Female Cenobite, Chatterer, and Butterball was just jawdropping. I loved that scene. A must see for all Hellraiser fans.
A great sequel in my opinion a bit better than the first once again a great gore fest (even gorier than the first) plot was done great, a good conclusion at the end. Actually scarier than the original, Highly recommended. My personal favorite in the series. However this was definitely the last watchable Hellraiser film.
I decided to rent the entire series and sit down and watch them...This one is by far the most graphic and purely enjoyable movie. Pinhead is the main character in this movie, and we get a glimpse of his origins. (for real origins of who PINHEAD was watch 3 and to see how the box was created watch 4). I turned this movie on and instantly enjoyed the blood and guts...People have to understand the CG were cheap and looked like TRON in many ways, but for the horror and blood, it definitely makes up for it. I miss the fact that special effects were not all done by cheap computers back in the day, and the violence and gore in this movie in fantastic. I recommend everyone who is a fan of horror to watch hellraiser 1-4...Once you get to 5-8 it is more of a mind game than a hellraiser typical movie.
