Two horror sequels that have been considered by a good handful (although not most) to be their favourite in the series. In fact, there are those that think they're better than the original (Hellraiser '87 and Child's Play '88), which are already great films in their own right. I myself don't really prefer either to the first, but I do question myself at times if I can say that I do find them to be more enjoyable.
As for which one I like better, I'd say Child's Play 2. Yeah, Hellbound is a better made film with more ambition that expands on the intriguing Hellraiser world, but CP2 is just much more fun and it's Chucky at his prime, whereas Pinhead still doesn't get his most shining role in there, which is in Hellraiser III. Hell, he got owned the crap out of by Channard. Child's Play 2 also doesn't try to be so melodramatic and has fun with itself. I still love both and give each an 8/10 and the more I watch them, the more I love them.
What say you?

They're my favorites of their respective franchises. Gonna have to give the edge to Hellbound. That's one badass, imaginative sequel.

I sometimes find myself debating if I actually like Hellbound more than the first, but ultimately, I think I like the first better as a whole. Although, Hellbound has my favourite Kirsty.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II is the better movie. It's darker, more mature, and deals with more serious themes. However, I'd much rather watch Child's Play 2 as it's far more entertaining and I can never get enough of Chucky.

I like Hellbound quite a bit, but it feels somewhat compromised in its vision, like they were trying to ape Elm Street rather than create their own thing. Doesn't quite hold up to the magnificence of the original (though it's streets ahead of the other sequels).
Child's Play 2, on the other hand, keeps with the same established logic and mythos of the original and is just more enjoyable to watch overall. Very well-paced and a great balance between humor and horror. Pretty much set the standard for the rest of the franchise.

I voted for Child's Play 2. That movie is just so much fun. Especially the final act.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II is like filet mignon, while Child's Play 2 is like a fast food burger. Both are very enjoyable but in a different class from one another.
