Our first sequel episode is fittingly a follow up to our very first episode (1: Hellraiser (1987)).  The film starts off in fantastic fashion, with shades of the first film mingled with something of a mad doctor twist (which always reminds me of Re-Animator (1985), even if there's no obvious cinematic connection) but begins to go off the rails for us as the movie descends into Hell for it's ambitious but unfortunately underfunded third act.  Despite our modern day depreciation of the movie's value for present day viewers, there can be little doubt that the movie has made an impact on many people, as the series is to go on for (at the time of this writing) another 8 entries.  For us even, despite something less than a fully glowing review, the high spots of the film are indeed so good that we found they outweighed the shortcomings to provide a quite good follow up to the original, with our complaint being that the film makers weren't given the resources to make something that quite possibly could have met or exceeded the quality of the first as a viewing experience.  

What are your feelings on the Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)?  When did you first see it and what are your thoughts?  Come let us know at one of the links below.
