Hellraiser Bloodline worth the watch??

[Hellraiser]

I've not seen this film fully but I was wondering if it's any good???

[Arioch]

i gave up on hellraiser after the 2nd one

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

I get free movies cuz my girlfriend works at a vid store, so I watch just about any horror movie. Bloodlines was pretty bad. I don't know if I even fast-forwarded thru it all. Definitely don't watch if you have to rent it. Dimension has really sucked of late.

[mudsliptones]

you should see this
it's really good, it just begins in the future, this dude claims he's family of "le marchant", he tells the history and then it's showdown in the future, pretty cool movie in my oppinion

[MichaelMyers]

Great movie. I recommend it.

[ds_spoon]

i havent seen it but mixed feeling on it so i might just rent it and see...
but im not really a big fan at all of hellraiser
quite funy though....:rolleyes:

[allmykids]

[ds_spoon]

Me niether, they are too over the top for me, just end up making me laugh.

On the other hand, i just started reading clive barker and have got to say im really impressed thus far.

[ds_spoon]

yea they also make me laugh

[cheebacheeba]

i thought you two were men of taste, 3 was pretty damn good to.
not loving the rest of them though.

[allmykids]

I am a big hellraiser fan 4, bloodline 5, INFERNO 6, HELLSEEKER. i love all of them. thought INFERNO was THE best out of thoughs three!!! LOTS OF GORE!! :D

I found three lacking the same tone as the first two. I think Peter Atkins put all he had into the screenplay for part 2 and when he wrote the third one he just made shit up. It felt like they were trying to turn Pinhead into just another slasher in part 3.

I did enjoy Part 3, just not as much as the first two. I distinctly remember hating Bloodline however.

[Leslie Daher]

as far as horror movies go there are some really crappy ones out there and bloodline for me ends the series...i'm not an extreme fan but IMO bloodline is great story telling. it gives the origin of the box which is nice since we've never really had much explaination on it previous to this. i really don't think it's that bad a movie and thus i think it's worth the watch. however, it's my sincere opinion that you stop w/ bloodline. i foolishly saw the one after that..inferno, i think...HORRIBLE! don't waste your time since it's an hour and a half of your life that you'll NEVER get back again!

[moonsorrow]

il agree that nr. 1 and 2 are better, but nr.3 is still cool, love the way he messes up that chruch

[cheebacheeba]

so what, basically 1-3 are pretty good, and all the "subtitle" ones to follow were shit?

[moonsorrow]

dont know cheeba, iv only seen 1-4 didnt even know there was a 5 and nr. 6 isnt released here in the north yet, the fourth one i dont remember at all... other then the fact that it had a cenobite dog in it. what i wouldnt do to have one of those.

[cheebacheeba]

I've seen 3 of 'em all up....er....maybe 4....
part 1, was cool man, this is what SHOULD be called horror.
I saw one with that spotty chick from startrek: ds9 in the lead, I think it was the 2nd film, not quiet as good as the first, but pretty cool all the same.
I saw one that for some reason somebody thought pinhead was the spirit of their dead father or something along those lines....that was "ok", kind slow and confusing though (im not sure this was actually a seperate film from the two I described above, it mighta just been part outta one of those)
Then I saw the one based on the different generations of the "toymaker" guys family....where that explained alot, and the "origins" of some of the characters, I personally thought it was pretty boring, but the evil bitch WAS pretty hot, as I recall...
So, if I've seen 4 of 'em, which 2 haven't I seen, and what r they about?
I also heard that there's gonna be 2 new hellraiser films coming out at about the same time soon....any info on any of the above would be cool...

[moonsorrow]

two new hellraiser films? keep me posted... the cenobites (specialy pinhead) must be the greatest work of clive barker (if not horror in general) to this date.

[mudsliptones]

I have sene the first 5 movies
haven't seen hellseeker yet
I like them all, Inferno has something cool about it, pinhead doesn't show up till the end, but it's so so cool
if you watched the first movies you'll understand it better though
about when you get killed what happens to you and stuff

I know they are planning of making a 7th and 8th movie

[moonsorrow]

thanks for the link mud

[avenger00soul]

I'm not expecting much out of these two new installments. I liked Inferno, but it was not a Hellraiser flick. It was a Jacob's Ladder flick. And Hellseeker was the same storyline as Inferno but done without its style. I'd like to see this franchise retired.

Nothing they can think of will EVER top the first two films.

[moonsorrow]

does anyone have any idea where i can get a hold of hellraiser 4 and up on region 2 dvd? otherwise known as pal? iv been looking all over for it with no luck at all

[Magneto]

Hello All, I must say that I am a avid Hellraiser fan and this is what I think....

Hellraiser was excellent... I think it was one of the best horror movies of the time because it gave a new dimention to horror films.

Hellraiser 2 could have been better.... I don't think the story was as deep as it should have been and it left a pretty bad taste in fans mouth.

Part III Hell on Earth I found to be Awesome... Pinhead comes into his own and you find out the History of how Pinhead come to be. I thought the new Cenobites were a great touch because it made the entire story more modern.

Part IV Bloodline I thought was also very good... The orgion of the box and how it haunted the family's Bloodline was a great stroryline. I was not too happy with the ending because it did end in the future and it almost seems as if Pinhead is offically dead. I still thought the overall movie was good though.

Part V if I am correct was Inferno and I really didn't care for it.... I thought that the movie was very slow and pretty choppy... Having Pinhead in the end was the only saving grace to the movie and it seemed as if Pinhead was a much more calm and friendlier Cenobite and I found that to be very uncharaterist of him. If you are a fan you have to watch it but you could skip it and be ok...

Part VI was Hellseeker and I was impressed with this movie becasue they bring back Ashley Lawerence. Her change from the little winey girl in part I and II to a mature woman that has to deal with problems was a credit to the story line... Once Pinhead is introduced again to Ashley's charater was very interesting and they make a few references to the first two movies that made it a little more interesting. And finally the ending was a little shocking in Hellseeker so I would call it a successful movie...

Overall, I would check them out.

[avenger00soul]

Magneto, I agree with you on the first film. You lost me on the rest of them though. Hehe. You're entitled to you opinion of course, but Ashley Laurence had little more than a cameo in Hellseeker. That's another reason I thought it sucked. They played it up as the return of Kirsty Cotton. She's barely in it!!! Hated it.

[crazy clown]

well not a big hellraiser fan but bloodline is better than inferno. i bet the next 2 (the first ine comin out in february i believe) will suck. i think the first is about a suicide cult or something

[mudsliptones]

I found inferno boring while watching it, but in the end I thought cool
it was more a thriller
you do know what was with that cop do you?

[ShamSham04]

Every horror film is worth a watch...except for Ax Em and 28 Days Later. ;)

I enjoyed Hellraiser: Bloodline. Has a great decapitation towards the end of the film. Looks really cool.

I have to agree with others though that the "Hellraiser" series hasn't been the same since the first two films...it seems as if they are running low on ideas, in my opinion.

[Ritualistic]

I do agree about the first two is good movies.. Nothing like the rest of the series BUT if you have time I recommend anyone who has not seen them to just watch them. who knows you might find a flick you like.. everyone has different opinions..

[crazy clown]

i like barker's other films better like candyman and i love nightbreed

[Magneto]

It's cool Avenger... didn't mean to lose you:P

Anyway, I still think my favorite of all of them is I and III... As for the orginal question... In my opinion, check out the movie.... Thanks all...
