Why it’s HorroRated
Hellbound expands the mythology in interesting ways by actually showing us the world behind the box. It's bigger and messier than the original but the practical effects are still remarkable and Pinhead gets more screen time that adds rather than diminishes. A worthy follow-up.
Synopsis
Hellbound expands the world Barker created by actually showing us the dimension behind the box. It's bigger and messier than the original and the design work on the Cenobites' domain is the film's strongest element. Messier than its predecessor but it extends the mythology in ways that have held up.
