Story Synopsis:
In Hellbound—Hellraiser II, the nightmare continues for Kirsty Cotton (Laurence), the niece of Frank Cotton whose curiosity, as you may recall, resurrected the tormenting and torturous Cenobites, including Pinhead (Bradley), in Hellraiser. Clive Barker’s gross-out, torturous blood-and-guts creation is a real treat for horror lovers.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture exhibits inconsistencies with unnatural color fidelity, brownish fleshtones, undersaturated exteriors and oversaturated interiors. Images are overly soft and wanting in sharpness and detail. Distracting noise is apparent throughout with some artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is aggressively produced in surround with deep bass response and stereo ambiant effects. A slight background noise is heard throughout and often fidelity is wanting in clarity. Dialogue sounds slightly muffled and intelligibility is wanting.
