Hellbound: Hellraiser 2: Deusdaecon Reviews 

“Go. Explore. We have eternity.” Love that line

Fun Fact: Chatterer was Leviathan's favorite Cenobite. So, Leviathan created more renditions of Chatterer than any other Cenobite.

I always assumed that Julia wasn't as decomposed as Frank because she wasn't dead as long. plus...ya know...bewbs!!!

Honestly I have only seen the first two Hellraiser movies and liked them quite a bit, I decided to not watch the movies after because I have heard that they get progressively worse and worse. Your reviews of all of the movies have pretty much proved me right in this choice. I would say that one of the biggest missteps was in taking away the neutral and ambiguous nature of the Cenobites making them typical horror movie monsters instead of these beings of extreme pain and pleasure only doing what they think the person who solved the puzzle box wanted. I also find Kirsty to be a rather likable protagonist with the fact that she is rather smart and will fight back.

It took me years of watching both Hellraiser 2 and Aliens to realize that Dr. Kyle is also the snivelling Lt. Gorman. And I highly enjoy both films. I am ashamed.

I read/heard somewhere that the reason Chatterer suddenly has eyes in the second film is that the actor was uncomfortable in the first films costume as he couldn’t see anything, therefore requested eyes for the second installment.

Damn, need to rewatch this one. I don't remember so much of it. I thought it was cool how she made Pinhead reflect on himself. Its funny how human pinhead looks much older than the pale pin headed version. Great review as always bro.

“Keep the mattress” Well played. I almost fell off my bed in laughter.

That’s so cool that Barbie Wilde followed you on Twitter 🙂

I think frank looking less human than Julia was because of the amount of blood was given to their “death beds” (quite literally in Julia’s case) Frank got whatever blood was dripping from Larry’s hand, while Julia got a whole body and even more provided by Channard.

I know the Hannibal shot was just a joke, but honestly I thought it would be pretty awesome if Lecter cameoed in this film, making the franchises the interconnected (if there wouldn’t be so many copyright issues, of course).

Wasn't Channard connected to the leviathan by that tube thing on his head? I always thought when his head came off it was because it was regretting him for some reason like the total death of all the cenobites (maybe not really that bad as I guess leviathan was okay with it, but bc Channard was trying to replace or make a new cenobite out of someone that didn't open the box freely. and other reasons like I felt personally that Channard started to see himself as a god and in the end that really pissed off leviathan and thats why it killed him, but thats me. and thats why in a way the resurrection of pinhead, to have someone to replenish and create more cenobites.

Would you be interested in doing the candyman series

Why do you assume she's not crazy? Just because what she saw was real doesn't mean she didn't really go crazy from seeing it. Look at the Lovecraft movies

Have you ever noticed how similar Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Hellraiser 2 are? Love your Hellraiser reviews!

Holy shit! I saw that scene where Julia gets her skin sucked off by the doorway when I was really little and it scared the crap out of me for a really long time. Only watching this review now do I know what movie it's from, but it scared me so much as a little kid that image was forever burned into my brain. I gotta watch this movie

Pinhead: NO Cenobite: No?

I think Kirstie got Julia’s skin from the hallway after she fell into the void. When they pick up the box from her you see her pile of skin on the floor.

ah, one of the oh so rare instances of a sequel being better than it's predecessor.

The ending fight could have been a bit better as well not only if it was a closer thing, but if the "this was you" thing didn't work, Pinhead just looks at it and says "ah yes, before I discovered this world of pleasure of pain" and casts it aside, highlighting that they actually like the forms they are in now, and it's not some weird mind control, as that's how it ends up looking. They could then still have had the fight as they would disagree with Channards more insane ways of doing things, as they have a strict religiously ordered way of doing things, thus still giving Kirsty time to escape. It's weird but even though I do still like this film as well, it's clear they were already starting to veer away from "Angles to some Daemons to others" thing, probably because audiences didn't quite get it and just thought they were the evil bad guys.

A fantastic film with a score that should be more well known

Actually don't they say her father is "unreachable"? That could mean he's not there. He's beyond that realm, thus beyond their reach.

I'm having a tough time handling your accent so I'm listening to you and Neil deGrasse Tyson at the same time. Sounds amazing!

I can't believe you haven't got more subs... Utterly disgraceful internet, should be ashamed of yourselves not noticing this chap

10:11 - 10:26 Ah, who cares. Gorman was always an a-hole. Just ask Vazquez.

With the fight I almost don't know what I was hoping for, I mean the moment of them facing him was badass but at the same time we haven't really had any indication they are good at fighting and only pinhead has anything that useful in a fight. It would have been better if it had been a closer fought thing with the Cenobites at least being armed with some torture devices and seeming to enjoy the wounds they take.

Tifanny is a fine example of 80s hot 😍

21:34 You are not Freddy Kruger and you never will be!

I had no idea the female cenobite was sister celise . There is a really cool book of short stories by various authors called Hellbound Hearts that are all inspired by Barker's original novel and one of the stories deals with her origin. If you liked the Hellbound Heart i can't recommend the collection enough because there are some great stories in it ( a couple that come close to rivaling the original IMO).

I want to thank you, your Channel is awesome, you save me so much time because I don't want to see the full movies

i like 2, i always thought the thing that got channard was actually leviathan, wanting a more hands on approach in this world. i was disappointed with the death of pinhead and his gash, and the fact tiffany had solved the cube to change that caused his ripping apart

This helped make sense of the movie. First time I watched it, I couldn’t make sense of it.

Love your work, brother!

I know that this is 8 years late, but according to the directors commentary on the DVD of Hellrasier 2, Peter Atkins (the writer) states the reason why Channard was able to take out the Cenobites is because they were "weakened" by the revelation that they were once human. Under "normal" circumstances, they would have won. In my own personal opinion, the Cenobites death is ass and it really pisses me off.

I heard a rumor that the company behind this wanted to make Julia the new main villain of the series, they obviously underestimated Pinhead's popularity.

My mom took my brother and I to see this with some of her coworkers after her bar shift at like 1:00am back when it came out. I was 4 and he was 1. For years I had nightmares about a woman getting her skin sucked off, and a skinless woman making out with a man.

Weird interpretation of mine-The Labyrinth version of "Hell" is all Tiffany's vision of hell. Everything we see there is translated through Tiffany's conscious. I'm not suggesting it's unreal-it has a weight and reality of it's own. Just that "Hell" can't be viewed or interpreted into human perception without a filter. The puzzle box opens Hell to the solver, so it's Tiffany's lense through which all the characters in this particular adventure see it. Like the insanity that traps her, Hell is viewed as puzzles and traps that make it hard to communicate with others. When Leviathan is "solved" so is Tiffany's perception but in reverse. Tiffany opens the doorway back to the real world by normalizing her perception of the real world. I was never bothered by Kirsty becoming Julia. That's clearly a piece of Kirsty's quest. Kirsty came from the same family and background as both Julia and Frank. She does keep calling to and working with the Cenobytes. She is destined to be a Cenobyte. From a practical standpoint, learning to skin walk is just her first major step toward embracing the magics of the otherside. From an allegorical standpoint, she is no longer the babe to be sacrificed but has become the witch doing the sacrificing by literally walking in the witch's skin.

Two things I think time may also be a factor in how fresh you are when you come back and from what I know the whole Larry in hell thing was supposed to be what the movie showed but since the actor who played Larry didn't return for this movie they basically let the script run up to the point of reveal and then just winged with that bit hence why it is kind of out of place in comparison with the rest of the movie.

Love your channel I hope you continue to do more

I mean the killing the cenobites really does kind of ruin it as it makes you end up thinking "oh so she could have stopped them with a gun... or a knife... or the feared pointed stick as they are literally just stabbed and die, yet the doctor can have a blender in his head and still be alive... why is he able to survive things that would kill normal people but the others aren't? were they just crappy half-breed versions and he was meant to be an improves more pure version? It's a shame the rest ended so badly as I would have loved to have seen more on the cenobites world and what they get up to when people aren't opening boxes, but alas it was not to be... and while every other old film gets a remake that is at least passable (sometimes even good) Hellraiser continues going with utter horseshit instead of a solid restart with a director who realises it could be gold.

I watched the sequel to specifically watch this video. Was not disappointed with any of it.

Man, thank goodness for subtitles, or I wouldn't have ANY CLUE what you were saying in this video because of that accent.... /endsarcasm

Fun fact, all the Hellraiser movies after the first one no longer follow Clive Barker's book nor are in any way related really besides names.

So, the laughing tiny skeleton actually looks like its getting "special attention" and is that a paynus at 25:49?!

I watched this today and Netflix suggested I watch Pixar’s Coco next.

7:53 i can't stop laughing... why? Lmao

love your reviews, this was actually the first Hellraiser film I ever watched. also love the intro theme! who is it by??

You see I've always wondered why on the first Hellraiser they came back for Christy because in this one she does so a desire to open the box

I always thought chinard was part of leviathan because he was connected by the head, so that's what made he so powerful.

Pin head freaked me out as a kid, even the pinhead figures I used to see in comic shops used to terrify me.

review pumpkinhead ashes to ashes

I swear this is the only other movie I've seen William Hope in.

Fact: The Movie was initially X rated By MPAA but was Cut to get A R rating

Cool that the actress hit you up. enjoyed this review.

One of the few classic horror movies that has a sequel worth watching, such as Halloween/Halloween II. And unlike A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Exorcist.

I could never understand the Chanard spears in the floor/decapitation scene. Why could he not detach the spears as he did when he fired the spears like he has done previously?

My favourite Hellraiser movie by far

If it's not hands but desire that call the cenobite why did they try to take kirsty in the first movie?

22:25 Iirc it's been said somewhere that Cenobites who go "above and beyond" in the "call of duty" are rewarded by being made more human...or something.

THE DOCTOR IS IN!!

when channard screams it sounds like he is screaming into an electric fan like how everyone used to as a kid fndjsnfjfd

The cenobytes are everybodies favorite Angels.

It sucks cause the character that Pinhead is banned on was actually of "feminine" origins

Awesome hell sing collection

Hellbound: Hellraiser 2: Deusdaecon Reviews reviewed 24 July 2015 & actor Robert Hines=Steve from 1987 Original died approx 23 October 2015 according to IMDB movie page! Hellraiser actors eg Frank Baker homeless man from first film or old woman in pet shop complaining etc even google can t say much of what became of them in later years! Ameigh Leigh aka Sandy from Hell on Earth little on her also!

I know I might be a little late on this comment but I’ve always felt Cine bite blood was that blue liquid

25.47 A few items on that pillar are probably more horrifying than anything else. Disembodied and mutilated genitals might be the most on point imagery. XD

We have to see, we have to know...

I just realized that was lieutenant Gorman from aliens

@7:53 lmao....brilliant! Sad, but true reality for us horror fans lol

Lt. Gorman just can't catch a break...

19:52 or like he swallowed a vibrator. Same with 21:36.

26:36 I'd be careful with that box.

also I wanna add that basement dungeon thing looks like freddy krugers lair

But Kirsty had no desire or whatever. She was just curious to what the box was, not what she thought it could do for her.

So why was the doctor so much stronger than the other Cenobites? Did they explain that?

Good movie. Didn't know those voices were dubbed.

Check with Spoony for the location of Trottleville, USA

Darth Vader: I am your father Luke: 11:38

Why didn't Chernard turn back into a human?

What is the music in the your opening

Still waiting on your review of the latest movie

Was that Hannibal lector clip real?

My dude these videos have way too many ads on them. It's kind of ridiculous.

Is Leviathan suppose to be a living thing or just a machine? The movie gets religious so, I can't but be baffled because aren't Leviathans the first beasts created by God before humanity? I just keep thinking maybe the blue liquid the Leviathan's blood but, since it looks like a machine I don't know?

Keep the mattress 😂😂

Wait... isnt female also called Nikoletta? Nikoletta Cilice than?

Can't stand your intro. Everything else is great

Some advice for your channel, put your tumblr in the description. It’s kinda annoying with the watermark.

lol, the skit at 7:42 is so me during horror films by this point. Other people are in states of shock and horror and I'm busy eating pasta with tomato sauce with A Serbian Film or Cannibal Holocaust on the TV...after the first few hundred times watching the likes of Salo, Irreversible and the like it becomes pretty rote... Mind you, put on an Adam Sandler, Tyler Perry or *shudder* Kirk Cameron movie and things become deathly serious with barf buckets galore...

Supposedly the filmmakers rasn out of money before the hell climax was completed. You can tell that Frank and Julia were meant to fall down a chasm, or die in some other way, but instead they film the hallway, as if they were being sucked down it, or hell tilted ninety degrees, to make it a deadly fall. I've heard the filmmakers were very unhappy with the end. I love it except for the Doctor Cenobite, with his corny jokes. Hellraiser doesn't need one liners.

666 Likes on Hellraiser video :o

Why do youtuber's think recapping a movie scene by scene with occasional quips qualifies as a review? Still enjoyed the video

So far, these movie depict ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys’ both utilizing flesh condoms to try and achieve victory. Strange movies. (Puts on intellectual cap and begins talking in an arrogant manner) The message behind the film was the futility of a DeviantArt v. Tumblr civil war as they are both different yet similar sorts of degenerate and distasteful media.

I wasn't a huge fan of Hellraiser 1, but thought it was alright for what it was. Hellraiser 2 however seemed to just fall victim to all the usual faults of shitty sequels: Fucking up the order of resurrections, rushing the franchise's process (Like the xenomorph lifecycle in AvP), giving explanations that doesn't really make much sense for the cenobites, which had been much better left unexplained and to the imagination. Also, the doctor isn't scary or doesn't even feel like a cenobite. He's just goofy as hell. And how does that thing on his head even work? Is he flying? Is he being dragged? Why is he, and not the other cenobites, like that?? Why did they even fight against each other? Because they found out they were human? Well, the doctor knew that when he got out of the machine, so how was he fine with it? Didn't they have their memory leaving the machine? Goddamn it, Im thinking too much about this stupid shit.

Hellraiser 1 great Hellraiser 2 good All the rest shit. Don't waste your time.

Someone got a crush on Barbara Wilde, there? Eh?

Love your reviews, but that awful opening theme needs to go. It's alright though, I fast forward past that awful song.
