ThiefHott Too much of everything
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
vengeance20 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!
trashgang Remener Jason Voorhees going to space, people hated that, it was 2001. But 5 years earlier Kevin Yagher had to direct pinhead in space, the most hated entry in the franchise were Doug Bradley plays pinhead.The story takes place in 3 era's, the important one is in space and they are all connected due a bloodline. So we follow a girl that has walked among humans for ages. It's only in space that she's a cenobite. The story itself isn't really that strong. The history of the toymaker, the creator of the box, isn't that interesting but it's the gore added that makes it worth seeing. Weere as in part 3 the cenobites looked a bit funny and stuff was sometimes done with morphing here the cenobites do look like fine. The creation of the twins is really well done. It's not all that bad, it's just a weak story but as i said earlier, once pinhead comes in it do works out fine. Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
Steven Sanders it's easy to write off Hellraiser: Bloodline as "the one set in space," but the reality is that only 1/3 of the film takes place in the future. The underrated sequel brings an incredible amount of mythology to the table, and though I'd be lying if I said it all worked, it's the ambition that makes this one somewhat of a gem. Given the low budget and messy production, it's no minor miracle that it works as well as it does.Hellraiser Bloodline tells both the beginning and ending of the story Clive Barker unleashed on the big screen in 1987. Not only do we find out how the puzzle box was created, as well as by whom and for what initial purpose, but we also get a front row seat for its destruction, providing a sense of closure to the franchise.other sequels followed, but by jumping so far into the future for the outer space-set finale, Dimension Films was able to make the rare franchise sequel that actually feels like the end of the franchise. Not only is the puzzle box destroyed but so too is Pinhead, and there's something to be said for the definitive nature of Bloodline. In many ways, it's sort of the last Hellraiser sequel that matters.Ambition and a respectable amount of imagination are also on display in Hellraiser: Bloodline's standout makeup effects, particularly when it comes to the birth of a siamese Cenobite that Pinhead creates by literally twisting two twin brothers together. The film also introduces the awesome Chatterer Beast, a hellish pet hound composed of human flesh. He doesn't get nearly enough screen-time, but he's pretty damn cool.Hellraiser: Bloodline tries way harder than most horror sequels. And for that, we should all respect it.The beauty of Bloodline is that it's both the first and last film in the Hellraiser chronology.
GL84 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.
