Advantages: Good storytelling, amazing special effects Disadvantages: No DVD extras
. On the other hand it has more similarities with the book than Hellraiser2, 3 and 4. Good actors, some good SFX, a dark, violent atmosphere and an entertaining story sum up to one of the best sequels for a long time.
The dissapointing thing with the release it that it doesn't haven't any extras at all on the DVD, big shame!! You can get the DVD for around £9 which is quite good in my opinion for two films.
Thanks for reading! ...

Advantages: True horror Disadvantages: some wooden acting
The first time I saw the trailer for this film, I was very scared and almost so scared that I almost didn't watch the film. But after having watched the film, I was very intigued by this false reality that Clive Barker has built up in the Hellraiser series. The first scene in the first film was pretty gruesome enough, where the solving of a simple puzzle box had ripped a man's flesh to pieces and now he would inhabit a world where the pleasure ofm pain is king. The real fear is from that of the Cenobites, the creatures that nihabit the dark side of life, who have been malformed and are gruesome enough themselves. All of these aspects make for an entirely horror filled story and one that I will never ever forget. ...

DVD Description
This horror collection presents the first two HELLRAISER films, based on characters created by Clive Barker. See individual titles for more details. HELLRAISER - Barker's feature directing debut graphically depicts the tale of a couple (Andrew Robinson and Clare Higgins) who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature--the man's half-brother (Sean Chapman), who is also the woman's former lover--hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons called the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him human sacrifices to complete his body...but the Cenobites won't be happy about this. The film is one of the best horror offerings of the 1980s, based on Barker's novel THE HELLBOUND HEART. HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II - Beginning just hours after the original HELLRAISER ended, HELLBOUND finds young Kirsty (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 (Kenneth Cranham), who has devoted his life to solving the Lament Configuration, the key to the doorway of hell, and now, with Kirsty, he believes he has found another key. Resuscitating the skinless corpse of her stepmother, Julia (Clare Higgins), Dr. Channard succeeds in opening a doorway to hell, one that Julia, Channard, Kristy, and her mute friend, Tiffany (Imogen Boorman), all travel through.
