Arrow Video's "Hellbound: Hellraiser 2" Blu-Ray is a must-own for horror fans! A fantastic release!
Coming out alongside their fantastic re-release of the original horror classic, Arrow Video’s Blu-Ray special edition of “Hellbound: Hellraiser 2” is another big win for the iconic (and somewhat infamous) horror franchise. Boasting an excellent high-definition transfer of the film’s original uncut version, and hours upon hours of bonus content, it’s an absolute must-buy for genre fans!Picking up shortly after the original, the film follows heroine Kirsty Cotton (Ashly Laurence) as she once again faces off against the cenobites (lead by Doug Bradley’s Pinhead) in a deadly game of cat and mouse orchestrated by the newly resurrected Julia. (Clare Higgins) But things are different this time, as Kirsty is forced to enter the realm of hell itself to complete her mission.To start, the transfer is just great. While it isn’t quite as dramatic an upgrade as the original film, “Hellbound” still benefits from the HD treatment splendidly, and this is easily the best I’ve seen it look on a home-video release thus far. I also do feel the need to point out that this is the uncut version of the film, so it retains the content that was removed for its initial R-rated theatrical release. (The fact that the case says it’s rated R has confused some fans. Fear not— it’s the unrated cut.) Sound quality is also uniformly excellent all around.And the bonus content is just to die for. Not only does it have essentially all of the special features from prior DVD releases, but it also has a few new tidbits to make it worth the upgrade. Among them are the infamous deleted “Doctor Pinhead” sequence and an extensive two-hour making-of documentary that’s honestly about as fascinating to watch as the film itself. They really set this release apart and are almost worth the buy alone.As I noted in my review for the Arrow Video release of the original film, this set seems to contain the same disc that was included in the now out-of-print and prohibitively-expensive “Scarlet Box” trilogy set. So if you already own that particular release, you may want to hold off. But if you don’t, these two Blu-Rays are definitely something you should consider picking up. They are horror royalty.Arrow Video’s “Hellbound: Hellraiser 2” Blu-Ray easily earns a perfect 5 out of 5 rating from this horror fan.

    Clive Barker is one of the main masters of horror easily. This film along with the first are two of the best horror flicks ever made imo. Plunges you into a whole other world and takes you on a deep dive through it. If you enjoy the first two movies I also highly recommend reading Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker. Amazing stuff all around. The Arrow Blu-ray is the best release this has seen and well worth the price tag

    In my review of Hellraiser 1 I stated that it should be put on a must watch list for classic horror 101.
    While I enjoyed the other Sequels to varying success, This 1st sequel was excellent as long as you watched the 1st movie ahead of time and can follow a complex plot.

    The only negatives I saw was the jumpy campy graphic movement of the Mad Doctor Cenobites Arm weapons.
    Also I loved Chatterer. Besides Pinhead I like him as the second best cenobite on the 9 films despite the fact he never spoke because he just looked so epic. So I was Mad that they killed off his character (a fake wannabe shows up in the Awful Hellworld (movie 8) but he is different and I believe it listed the official name for that cenobite as "melted face cenobite"

    Revelations (movie 9) should be seen (read my 4 star review) despite all the unwarranted hate it got by people who were allowed to rate it 1 stars on amazon BEFORE IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO SEE THE MOVIE???. Hellworld (Movie 8) was the worst (Again read my 1 star review.)

    The movie opens with a something of a highlights reel of the best and grossest scenes from part 1. Continuing immediately from where Hellraiser (1987) ended, we find Kirsty (Ashley Laurence; Hellraiser, Warlock III) in a mental hospital where her account of what happened to her father, uncle Frank and stepmother Julia (Clare Higgins; Being Human) is received as more than a little hard to swallow.

    Whereas Hellraiser (1987) delivered credible character reactions to an incredible evil force, Hellbound takes a nosedive into bonkersville in terms of plot believability. I, in no way, mean this as a complaint…I LOVE this movie. But this "movie" is the point in the franchise when we stop using the word "film." Clive Barker’s infernal art and brilliant storytelling are behind us now. It seems that perhaps our new director Tony Randel (Amityville: It's About Time, Fist of the North Star) was trying a little too hard to fill Horror Master Clive Barker's (Nightbreed, Hellraiser) shoes. The gore--which was already heavy, sloppily gross and pleasurably unique in part one--is now turned up to an "11" and the plot elements seem to have shifted from credible to nonsense. Almost every event in the story evidences this mania—not that the horror genre is known for its storytelling. In fact, as bonkers as it is, this story is told more eloquently than most horror (especially in the late 80s).

    Now in a mental hospital, the doctor in charge of Kirsty's case just happens to be an amateur expert and collector obsessed with all things occult, especially the Puzzle Box and its history. In other words, coincidence has been pushed to the extreme as Kirsty's caregiver has been waiting for this! After Kirsty warns police to destroy the mattress on which Julia died in part 1 (because Kirsty somehow understands exactly how coming back from Hell works all the sudden), Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham; Hot Fuzz) somehow gets the police to deliver this murder case evidence to his private residence with the intentions of summoning Julia. For a blood offering he checks out a deeply disturbed patient from the screaming basement ward of his mental hospital--it's what you'd expect from an 1800's mental hospital…in a horror movie…on steroids…and then more extreme!!! Dr. Channard seems to frequently bring disturbed patients to his home without restriction.

    So clearly, this movie has gone to comicbook lengths to bring something crazy to the screen. But you know what? It remains crazy awesome!!! I haven't read Clive Barker's books (on which this is based), but I think we can safely assume that these actions were all much more carefully explained and tactfully justified in his detailed pages. Meanwhile, in Hellraiser movieland, no one seems concerned with the disappearance of several patients.

    It may sound like I’m slamming the plot. I’m not. In fact, overall the story itself remains elegantly unique. After all, whatever liberties this director took in making this film, it is still based on Barker’s refined writing.

    After Julia's "resurrection," she sexually beguiles Channard--even though she hasn't any skin--to help fully restore her with more victims. He obliges and we get to enjoy a room full of life-drained corpses. But this isn't enough for Channard. He wants to know and see the secrets of the Hell that is The Labyrinth. So he brings a mute patient with a knack for puzzle-solving to open the gate to Hell with the Puzzle Box.

    Things get yet crazier as Channard and Julia wander the corridors of Hell. He gets transformed into a Cenobite himself (simply referred to as "the Channard Cenobite") by the God of Hell Leviathan and is for some reason way tougher than Pinhead and his Cenobite gang. He kills loads of people with his stop-motion bladed hand tentacles, so Kirsty gets Pinhead to see his inner child and wears Julia's skin as a suit. A lot of cool stuff is happening, FOR SURE!

    Whereas part 1 was entirely based on illustrating one man’s escape from Hell and the temptations required to accomplish the task, this sequel addresses that component just in the first act and then moves on to exploring the Labyrinth and witnessing various personal Hells while being swiftly introduced to how Barker’s Hell works and is ruled. Despite the busy plot of this movie (it does cover a lot), it remains very dark and creepy and, more importantly, the plot makes sense. We can’t say that about a lot of horror. Its gore-pleasing effects are abundant, the story pushes the Hellraiser franchise into a new dimension, and we learn more about the background of the Cenobites and the mythology behind Barker’s Hellish Labyrinth.

    This movie is buckets of cool and one of the more interesting horror installments (along with part 1) of its decade.

    Watch it! Love it! Buy it! Watch it again!

    Una secuela muy buena y que añade cosas muy interesantes al "lore" de la saga que las siguiente secuelas se encargaron de desperdiciar y tirar todo al traste.

    No se puede decir que sea una buena película desde un punto de vista de "calidad cinematográfica", pero no sé, tiene algo... Es de esas pelis que la ves y no la olvidas. A mí me encanta y me resulta muy entretenida.
