“Kirsty Collins(Ashley Laurance)lies in a psychiatric hospital,haunted by the night of unspeakable horror that destroyed her life.Now,only hours later,the nightmare is beginning again.From the blood-stained matress hidden in his home,obsessive psychiatrist Dr Channard(Kenneth Cranham)raises the remains of Kirstyu0026#39;s murderous stepmother,Julia(Clare Higgins).Together,Channard and Julia unlock the secret of the Lament Configuration puzzle box to release the unlimited horrors and ultimate pleasures of Hell.For the second time,Kirsty must return beyond the limits to the Outer Darkness to confront the darkest desires of Hell and free her fatheru0026#39;s soul.u0026quot;Hellbound:Hellraiser 2u0026quot; was obviously influenced by Lucio Fulciu0026#39;s masterpiece of gore and atmosphere u0026quot;The Beyondu0026quot;(1981).The film is very well-made,the acting is alright and there are some good gross-out gore effects that will certainly please every splatter freak.Absolutely recommended.Note:Death metal group from Ohio Necrophagia recorded a song called u0026quot;Children of the Vortexu0026quot; on their brilliant album u0026quot;Holocausto de la Morteu0026quot;,which is loosely based on this picture.”
