So I spent the last couple days watching Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2: Hellbound.
I'd have to say, I think they were both enjoyable, but I did not like how anticlimactic the second one was when Kirsty (or whatever) was able to convince the Cenobites that they were people once. That felt really rushed and missed the mark, IMO.
Generally speaking, the Cenobites could have been more menacing. In both originals, they could be reasoned with and that took some of the bite out of the scare factor for them.

Ok, I finally got around to watching Hellraiser III and IV.
III was decent enough. It was hilarious seeing the newly made cenobites strolling down the streets of Manhattan.
Pretty jarring seeing that amount of smoking in this day and age. There might have been a solid 5 minutes of screen time in which none of techaracters on-screen had a cigarette in their mouth.
The actress who played Terry was hot as hell also. Shame what happened to her character though.
IV was a steaming pile of shit. What was it with the 90s and sending beloved horror franchises into space? They sent Jason Vorhees, Leprechaun and now Pinhead? Just garbage.
