Released a mere one year after the original Hellraiser movie shocked audiences with it's gore body horror and terrifying Cenobite demons Hellbound Hellraiser II continues the story from the first movie with the cast returning to reprise there roles including Doug Bradley as the lead Cenobite Pinhead his character became iconic in horror movie history and later became the focus of all the future sequels in the series and was the reason people still watched and followed the Hellraiser series long after the sequels became direct to video due to bad sales at the box office lower quality special and practical effects bad acting and storylines that went knowhere.
Hellbound expands on the story and goes more in depth with character backgrounds showing us the origins of pinhead and the rest of the Cenobites a more detailed look inside the hell summoned by the puzzlebox and it's inhabitants.
The Kirsty character returns in a story where she wants to find a way back to the Hellish world she had barley escaped from the first time around in order to find and save her father from the torture of the Cenobites also returning is the Julia character who is brought back from hell by a blood sacrifice on the mattress she died on in the first movie now a skinless monster like that of her traitorous ex lover Frank who wants her skin back.
If you enjoyed the first movie then you will enjoy the sequal it's bloodier more graphic and continues the original movies storyline with a great conclusion that adds more backstory to the characters more of the terrifying Pinhead and the Cenobites more of what made the first Hellraiser a masterpiece.
I don't recommend watching this movie if you are easily scared or have a weak stomach as it is one of the more graphic horror movies with lots of blood injury detail and gore.
