Review:
This story is so well developed from the last one that it only makes sense to have a sequel. Although it's not as amazing as the first one, it's certainly got plenty of gore and murder to please most. The daughter from the last film is back and so is Pinhead since someone accidentally opens the puzzle cube containing the demons. The daughter could be the only one to save humanity from the demons coming to life of course. There is of course plenty of grossness, plenty of struggle and a decently developed idea for a sequel. Definitely worth watching, it really does follow up on the last one without changing too darned much or seeming derivative. This is pretty much a sequel that any fan of the series should enjoy, even if it's not as magnificent as the first entry, at least this entertains!
