...And that I am also not a huge horror fan. I recently rewatched Hellraiser, and I'd also give it a 7 but the acting was bad. The acting of Hellbound wouldn't win Oscars but it's better than the first. I watched this solely based on the Amazon preview "it remains the most brutally original sequel in horror film history". I'm like damn ok bold statement. So I watched with no knowledge of the plot and therefore no expectations.
It starts pretty slow and you're hoping it's not another terrible sequel (or like the 7th in a horror series) but the second half is really what the viewers came for. The production was obviously more advanced than the first but the gruesome scenes kept upping the previous ones. Great climax but you knew the ending is gonna lead to the next one, which I didnt plan on seeing but now I'm intrigued.
TL;DR: I'm not a big horror fan but if you like shocking cinema, check this out especially if you liked the first.
