Eric G Bloodline does a decent job of revealing the deeper story behind the box, but is not very scary and the plot itself is not very interesting. Pinhead does a great job of delivering some cool lines, but otherwise the characters are largely uninteresting. The gore is cool, but that can only get a movie so many stars. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Adam B When looking into the production hell this went through, and the primary setting being in space, Hellraiser: Bloodlines is a shockingly great movie. Most good acting continues and the set work is something to be marveled at, with each stage and time shift of the movie having its own strengths. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Josh A This is basically Jason X meets Hellraiser, in a sense. It's set in space, wild and an interesting take on the series to put it lightly. It's also the ending of the series essentially. Shall we begin? The concept is basically that we flash across generations of the puzzle cube's creator's family as they are attacked because the Cenobites want the box to be preserved. This includes an interesting trip to space where it basically turns into a sci-fi horror like Jason X or Alien, but with Pinhead. And, speaking of Pinhead, he dies in this one. You heard me right. As the other films after this are standalone sequels, this is basically the finale to the series, where Pinhead is killed off in a spaceship explosion and the story ends. It's a solid finale as well as all the questions are answered and the story is left on a satisfying note. Overall, it's a solid ending to the series and film. About on par with Hellraiser 3. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review James B This is a really interesting movie as it explores the past present and future and for me it works. The chatter beast is also a cool centobite and Angelique is an interesting and powerful character. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Philip H Could have been a very good film if they’d let Kevin Yagher complete Peter Atkins’ screenplay as written. I actually watch this a lot more often than any of the other Hellraiser films but I don’t watch the Theatrical version which is the “Alan Smithee” version from after Yagher walked out due to interference from the studio. The recent Arrow Blu-ray box set had a Workprint in reasonable quantity taken from VHS and that’s the one I tend to watch, there’s also another Workprint in much lower quality in circulation which has a couple of unique scenes but the picture and sound quality and unfinished special effects make it more of a curiosity than a watchable version of the story. It does however show what could have been. Note that those unique scenes are also on the Blu-ray box set as deleted scenes, but still in vastly inferior quality so the source must be the same one. I recommend reading the book of Peter Atkins’ screenplay, several of the scenes never got filmed so we’ll never get a Director’s Cut sadly. Somebody could probably do an edited version from the Theatrical version and both Workprints and that would be the next best thing, using the highest quality available for each scene. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Lucifer M It’s watchable mostly for its gory and ultra violent sequences cinephiles and horror enthusiasts alike; have grown to love of this hellish franchise. If that’s not enough incentive to watch it, then how about watching a young Adam Scott in his first role in a feature film? Performances weren’t awful, but not spectacular either. Makeup and SFX were great (as always) with the exception of the space scene at the very beginning; not bad for the time period that it was released in, but cgi at the time was hit or miss.
