Storia
Hellraiser: Bloodline follows a family lineage struggling with the consequences of unleashing Hell's forces through an evil puzzle box. In 18th-century France, a toymaker creates this box, opening the gates to hell and releasing its evil cenobites, including Pinhead. Centuries later, in 2127, his descendant Dr. Merchant is aboard a space station trying to close those same gates using an artificial intelligence and a reverse puzzle box. Pinhead resurfaces on the station, leading to a battle for humanity's survival.
Riassunto
Hellraiser: Bloodline, directed by Alan Smithee (a pseudonym used by Kevin Yagher), is the fourth installment in the Hellraiser series, blending horror, sci-fi, and adventure genres. Released in 1996, it explores themes of familial burden and redemption through time. The film stands out for its ambitious blend of historical and futuristic settings but has been criticized for deviating from the original series' focus on sadomasochism and philosophical underpinnings.
