Hellbound: Hellraiser II

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988), Tony Randel's horror sequel, is here to watch online on iFILM. Kirsty Cotton lands in a mental hospital, insisting to anyone who'll listen that her father is trapped on the other side, lost in the Cenobites' hell.

The one doctor who believes her, Channard (Kenneth Cranham), isn't kind so much as obsessed with the same doorways to the abyss. Using a blood-soaked mattress, he drags Kirsty's stepmother Julia (Clare Higgins) back into the world, and she returns to her old habit of devouring the living to rebuild her flesh. To reach her father, Kirsty and a mute girl named Tiffany have to step into Leviathan's labyrinth themselves, ruled by Pinhead and his Cenobite court. The film pushes far past the cramped house of the original into a full-blown mythology of hell, all baroque sets and gleefully nasty practical effects. More gore, more nightmare imagery, less logic, and genre fans love it for exactly that. Stream Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) online on iFILM.
