im a great fan of classic horror films and if thats what your looking for you cant go wrong with the first three hellraisers. its a little dated by todays standards but its got a great story and is quite gruesome in parts.the acting from the main character Kirsty is a little wooden but the vilians more than make up for it. I would recommend this to lovers of story based horror.
Very scary to watch.

Story: Beginning just hours after the original HELLRAISER ended, HELLBOUND finds young Kristy (Ashley Laurence) waking up in a mental institution because she insisted on describing her parents' murderers to the authorities as pain-loving demons from hell. Unfortunately, she has been placed in the car of Dr. Channard, who has devoted his life to solving the Lament Configuration, the key to the doorway of hell, and now, with Kristy, he believes he has found another key. Resuscitating the skinless corpse of her stepmother, Julia, Dr. Channard succeeds in opening a doorway to hell, one that Julia, Channard, Kristy, and her mute friend, Tiffany, all travel through. Based on a story by Clive Barker, HELLBOUND is both a continuation of the original as well as a much different take on its story and universe. Here, the film fashions itself after an ALICE IN WONDERLAND-type fairy tale as it focuses on Kristy and Tiffany's adventures in hell as well as on the lives of the Cenobites. Infamously gory, surreal, and often horrifying, HELLBOUND is a satisfying sequel to one of the most original horror films of the 1980s. Comments: This is the hellraiser movie where the psychiatrist doctor becomes part of '' Leviathan '' , he gets killed when he throws knives in the floor, can't retract them, and he's being pulled away, resulting that his head snaps off. The '' raising '' out of the hell ( now with a psychiatric patient who cuts himself on the matres where Julia died on ) is NOT so good as in '' Hellraiser 1 '', here she just jumps right out of the mattress, in '' Hellraiser 1 '' you could really understand why the movie is called '' Hellraiser '' in this 1, it's more just a sequel and all. It IS a good movie though, at the end, Pinhead gets revealed he was human too, and actually becomes it, then he takes his own live. Definately Recommendable, a nice addition to your collection.
