hellbound: hellraiser 2

this movie picks up soon after the first one. the main character from the first movie is now checked into a mental hospital because of the crazy stuff she witnessed. she doesnt remember how she got there, but wants to get out. she has the creepy pandora's box and begins to have hallucinations about these creatures coming after her. are they hallucinations, or are they real? eventually she gets taken to the mysterious realm that these demons are from and we get to see the horrors that await her there. too bad the horrors are not even remotely horrible. they are actually quite lame. i dont know if this stuff ever passed as scary, but it certainly doesnt hold up to today. its mostly just a bunch of chains, knives, and smoke blowing around giving the illusion of something scary. the creatures are not at all frightening, due to poor lighting and bad production. the ending is actually really funny, which i dont think was their intent... i cant believe that this series lived on to include four more entries. i guess if it makes a buck, why not, right?
