Doctor Channard is sent a new patient, a girl warning of the terrible creatures that have destroyed her family, Cenobites who offer the most intense sensations of pleasure and pain. But Channard has been searching for the doorway to Hell for years, and Kirsty must follow him to save her father and witness the power struggles among the newly damned. —IMDb
Like Halloween 2 in that it starts right where the previous let off, but it has a lot less consistency or direction. Most of the movie is an exercise in, “Hey isn’t this shocking, gross, crazy, and weird? Cool! Now let’s do something else for a while." What I do like is that Pinhead hasn't yet really been that bad of a guy, in fact he's a real gentleman to Kirsten's needs. --PolarisDiB
Not as great as the first one, but it delivered those lovable eighties special effects, histrionic dialogue, and blood blood blood! :D I'm a sucker for insane gore, and will always love the cenobites and how they are made. Also, the film is so ridiculous that you can't go into without expecting it to be cheesy, and once I brushed that aside, it still creeped me out. LOVE this sequel.
Follows in the tradition of mostly every other horror film sequel in being as terrible as the original film was great. Hellbound is just plain ridiculous, almost to the point of self-parody. The acting, writing, and direction is just plain silly. Delivers plenty of unintentional laughs instead of grotesque scares.
