Movie Reviews of Hellbound: Hellraiser 2
Movie Review: Cerebral/Visceral
Summary: 5 Stars
Firstly, I do like the film.It is a great watch, and pays off.
The big issue that polarises viewers of this film, is that Peter Atkins produces a very cerebral script... so it instantly goes into love it or hate it land.
It pays off if you know the background mythology, or if you can make it through Barker's written material.
The odd thing, IMO, is that Barker himself understands the visceral elements, as well as the intellectual, as evidenced by LORD OF ILLUSIONS, however, Peter Atkins seems to be wanting to emulate a book, rather than transfer a book to a film.
Movie Review: "The Dr. Is In"
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know why some say this was not as good as Hellraiser. I seen Hellraiser and the hooks where pretty much the sickest thing in the movie. This one on the other hand goes over the deep end. Not to many movies dare to show a viewer what a trip in hell might look like. I remember way back in the day seeing this for the first time and it was one of the only horror movies I could remember keeping me on the edge of my seat. No I wasn't scarred, just so into it I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Definitely own this movie!!Movie Review: Hellbound: Hellraiser II DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the one of a kind horror movie. You never see horror movies like this anymore. Th is is the sequel to Clive Barker's classic Hellraiser. This is based on the story the hellbound heart. now lets get back to the dvd. This dvd was in the hellraiser tin so I know alot about it. It is THX mastered,48 stills in still gallery, theatrical trailer, lost in the labyrinth featurette, commentary by clive and ashley laurence, fullscreen and widescreen 1;85 anamophic format,this is all in a dvd keep case with a nice insert.Movie Review: Its sad that the hell raiser debut and hellbound were the only great hell raisers.
Summary: 5 Stars
For Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence), the nightmares never end. Still fresh in her fevered memory of her father's skinned corpse, the evil machinations of her uncle Frank's reanimated body and the unspeakable perversity of the Cenobites. But the worst is yet to come. From beyond the Outer Darkness, from the darkest regions of the imagination comes Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Don't bother with the other hell raisers their just plain crap & boring.Movie Review: Just Pinhead!
Summary: 5 Stars
What is definitely interesting about the Hellraiser movies is that the cenobites never go after just people. As Pinhead states: "You called, we came"! There are some life lessons to be gained from Clive Barker. The most salient is: If people are not corrupt they do not need to fear evil. All of the people who are impacted by the hellish creatures are afflicted with greed and avarice. The cenobites are the just reward for these.
