The premise

Now confined to a mental hospital, young Kirsty insists her supposedly dead father is actually stuck in Hell following his wife’s betrayal. Few believe the young woman’s lurid stories aside from the thrill-seeking Dr. Channard. Kirsty is undeterred and, with the help of a fellow patient, heads to Hell for a rescue.

Horror Vault's take

Picking up immediately after the original, Hellbound plunges survivor Kirsty Cotton into a psychiatric ward where her harrowing testimony falls on skeptical ears — except those of one dangerously curious physician. When the walls between the living world and Hell begin to dissolve, Kirsty must venture into a labyrinthine underworld to fight for someone she loves. The Cenobites return in full force, and the mythology of the puzzle box expands into genuinely unsettling territory.
