History Film / HellboundHellraiserII

* AdultFear: Imagine being a parent and your young daughter starts showing signs of obsessive compulsive disorder, becoming obsessed with solving puzzles to the point where it is consuming her life. So, being the loving and responsible parent you are, you take her to a reputed psychiatrist in hopes that he can help her. Instead [[spoiler: he brutally murders you ''right in front of your child,'' further scarring her. Then he essentially kidnaps your daughter, taking her into his asylum where he subjects her to torturous “treatments” that basically render her catatonic to the point where she can only focus on solving puzzles.]] Why does he do this? [[spoiler: So he can use her to open a HellGate.]] Poor Tiffany has been through some serious shit.

%%* LargeHam: Pinhead and the Channard Cenobite.

After surviving the events of the first film, Kirsty Cotton has been institutionalized in the Channard Institute. Neither the detectives assigned to the case nor the doctors at the institute believe her when she tells them about extra-dimensional beings and her undead uncle killing her father, and warns them that her evil stepmother Julia could still return. After hearing about this, the head of the hospital Dr. Channard retrieves the matrass that Julia died on, and repeats the ritual from the first film, allowing Julia to rise from the grave. Dr. Channard and Julia then work together to access the portal to the Cenobite dimension again, while Kirsty and a mute friend she made at the hospital try to stop them.

!This film provides examples of:

* SamusIsAGirl: A shocking variant was used, in which the gruesome Cenobites are involuntarily transformed back to their original human guises by the Lament Configuration. One Cenobite whose facial features had been burned away, leaving nothing but scar tissue and chattering teeth, is revealed to be [[spoiler:a young boy]].

%%* BedlamHouse: The Channard Institute.

* EvilFeelsGood: [[spoiler:Channard]]: "And to think... I hesitated."

* IronicEcho:
** When Frank accidentally stabs Julia in the first film, he states that it's "nothing personal, baby". In the second film, Julia throws that line back at Frank when she quite intentionally (and quite literally) rips his heart out.
** When the Cenobites finally recapture Frank in the first film, he delivers this last line to Kirsty before being ripped apart: "Jesus wept." Kirsty throws that line back to him in the second.
* IronicHell: Frank's own Hell in ''Hellbound''.
%%* LargeHam: Pinhead and the Channard Cenobite.
* MonsterClown: One shows up in Tiffany's Hell.

* SequelTheOriginalTitle: The subtitle and series title were inverted for this film. It's derived from ''The Hellbound Heart'', the original novella by Clive Barker that he based the first movie on.
* SinisterGeometry: Leviathan is a lozenge!
* TooKinkyToTorture: [[spoiler:Channard]]'s reaction after [[spoiler:his transformation into a cenobite]] is to question why he had any doubts about it.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Kyle]] from the second; went to a house where [[spoiler:Julia]] was, then decided to split up, didn't ask a strange woman who she was and what was doing there, and when she started to behave oddly didn't run away.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Julia]] went from being a reluctant and remorseful killer who tried her best to save [[spoiler:Larry Cotton]] from Frank in the first film to a hardened killer in the second, who took great joy in being evil. Probably an after-effect from being [[spoiler:betrayed, killed, tortured and resurrected.]] This is explicitly stated in the sequel [[spoiler: as Julia is now an agent of the Leviathan, the same possibly divine entity that commands the Cenobites]].
