Upon watching this I wasn't particularly bought. Heard & seen a trailer to see it was in outer space, & I myself, was sort of turned off by it as I don't like Sci-Fi Films & prefer realism over fantasy. But after watching this I actually thought it was really good! Was pleasantly surprised to like it as I dislike Sci-Fis at the best of times, but this was an exception. It proves that Horror & Sci-Fi go well together & it's a genre mix that should be used more often by writers & directors alike!The film starts in space 2124, inside a spaceship were a space crewman is trying to unlock the Lament Configuration via a robot, he successfully does this only to be ambushed by space agent police. This is where the film goes back to the 20th century & explores the origins of the lament configuration & how it became an evil tool/gateway to hell.I found the film at first to be so-so while watching, but go attracted & interested as it picked up & oh boy did it! The blood & graphics where great as always. I also liked the Sci-Fi scenery too! It was attractive & got me into it considering I don't like them. But the graphics were great & the kills were unique.The ending was satisfying as well & the film was short & sweet. Which made it more watchable & a lot better than the previous 3 films in the series.I give this film a 7.5/10 it was really good & watchable, this is coming from a man who dislikes Sc-Fis too, give it a watch! It's great!

Alan Smithee's best film. Hellraiser: Bloodline, a picture that spans centuries and brings the series to a logical conclusion* while setting something of a trend in plopping Horror icons into the vacuum of space. Both the Leprechaun and Friday the 13th series's would follow suit in the years to come, but Bloodline at least makes sense of the setting and smartly works it into the plot rather than haphazardly building some ten-cent story around the idea of "Horror figure in space." It's never as goofy as it sounds, but as the fourth picture in the series, it's a misunderstood genre masterpiece. Bloodline is good enough to satisfy fans while bringing to light some of the history that's heretofore gone unseen and unknown in the diabolical world of Pinhead and the grossly disfigured Cenobites.Hellraiser: Bloodline sees the franchise come full circle. 10/10 It needs a special Editon treatment and directors cut to appreciate it's vision.

I'm certainly in the extreme minority of people who can appreciate the ambition behind Bloodline. Though the film got hacked up and reduced the plot to a mess (as only Dimension and Joe Chappelle could do it!), the multiple story lines stretched over three time periods makes for an interesting take on the Hellraiser mythos. It also features some slick gore and makeup gags, which comes as no surprise considering Kevin Yagher was at the helm (before he was unceremoniously dumped in post-production); A three part anthology spanning five centuries, it explores the origin of the puzzle boxes and the family that created them.The movie worked as an excellent slipcase for the entire series. It gave us a definitive start to the story, wrapped up threads from the earlier movies and gave us a definitive ending.

Arrested on a space station, a man recounts his family's multi-generation struggle against Pinhead and the Cenobites after they had inadvertently released them and tries to stop him from continuing his reign of terror.This is an unfairly maligned offering that has some good points about it. One of the finer points about this one is the actuality of this one tying up the series-long thread of where exactly the box that summons them actually came from. Finally getting that sorted out while also showcasing the connection to their dimension and ours through the rather chilling summoning ceremony on display which is quite fun and finally solves that burning question in the series about its origins. Also on display is the rather impressive sequence showing the creation of a double-headed Cenobite in grand fashion, a lengthy and bloody sequence that truly revels in the horror of the intent behind this sequence. That also brings about the impressive special effects and the blood and gore, which are rather impressive since there's not a lot of screen-time devoted to them so instead it really makes the most of such scenes by really going all-out in here. That does bring up one of the few flaws in here, with this one coming across as way too overfilled with the family drama to make better use of the Cenobites and their actions. There's not a whole lot of time here with the creatures due to the films' incessantly annoying habit of switching through history to keep the story going. There's not much about this one that doesn't make sense because of its needless switching back-and-forth in these time periods as this just becomes endlessly convoluted and overdrawn which doesn't have to be that way as the story could've been told in a much simpler fashion. Otherwise, this one wasn't all together that bad.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a brief sex scene.
