Notebook Reviews: HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II

Tony Randel – 1988

Hellbound: Hellraiser II is a solid enough sequel to Clive Barker‘s 1987 horror, Hellraiser. It lacks the originality of Barker’s film but it’s an entertaining enough romp. This time the plot sees an evil doctor trying to use the evil puzzle box for his own gain. Big mistake. 

The performances are so-so, but the production design for Hellbound: Hellraiser II looks great.
