Second - Good fun. Some great quotes in it too, "I recommend AMPUTATION!" It's well over the top and quite campy though compaired to the first's almost muted feel.
Third - Dirge. Avoid like the plague.

The 2nd film I also loved and the 3rd had its moments, some nice gore especially the night club scene though it kinda lost the sense of terror and depravity of the first 2 films.
If you haven't seen them though I highly recommend picking up the boxset. The first film's one of the most original Horror's out there, it managed to pile on the gore and also be quite intelligent at the same time.

Hellraisers genius, sure some of the effects look a bit dated but the gore's all top fooking class even by todays standards. The fact that it's a British film makes it even better.
