Hellbound has absolutely one thing going for it and that is simply continuity. Bringing back two of the main characters from Hellraiser ultimately made the film more intriguing to see how these characters were going to progress or have their fate sealed. Aside from bringing back central characters, notably Kristy (Ashley Laurence), and the cenobites, there is little in terms of appeal to the start of the Hellraiser franchise. The CGI is horrendous throughout, the dialogue is insufferable and there can't be enough said about that horrible cliché ending. Just two films through, the Hellraiser franchise obviously requires a certain taste for the torture side of horror, which can be shallow and dull.
