Movie Reviews of Hellraiser - Bloodline
Movie Review: Mega Watch: Good fun through time
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this film immensely. Sometimes the reviews by so called fans of a franchise just make me wonder if I saw the same film.
Anyways, the wrap around sequence occurs in a space outpost, where a descendent of the creator of the Puzzle box ( the "Gateway") is determined to implement a solution to the gateway box, which was also designed by the creator of the box.
However, the solution cannot be implemented since the technology does not allow it. It is only when computers come about, that the advent of the solution occurs.
I am at a loss to understand why people have called this film plotless, since the film has probably the second most complicated film plot in the series next to the second film HELLBOUND.
This film opens up enough mythos to have a large pool of resources for future stories in many forms. In fact, Clive Barker has said that the franchise is largely in the hands of other people, since it basically has assumed a life of its own. Clive Barker was not unavailable due to costs, but ( as I understand it) for creative reasons.
The story, I would suggest, maintains a high standard, and maybe it could be improved on some points, but since I find the film very enjoyable, it seems the wrong attitude.
The "Evil" which is now separate from the original spirit ( as depicted in the third film) ranges through time, and provides a view of hell as it was, and hell as it is. For example, it is shown that Hell was much less ordered in the time of "Angelique"... the demon created in the original time frame of the "birth" of the box. And it is fascinating that the young disciple who assumes command of "Angelique" lives for many centuries up unto the time of the Architect. And the Architect creates what Pinhead calls an Apocalypse waiting to happen. And in the final space sequence, we see Pinheads "essence" exposed in a "death" statement... where Pinhead says " I am so exquisitely empty".
The structure and demonology of this film is first rate.
Enjoy.
