Hellraiser: Bloodline - Review

“I’m restless, and you’re bored.”
This line sums up the franchise at this point and my attention towards these movies.
I went into this not knowing too much about the plot, but as soon as I saw a spaceship gliding through space and realized this takes place in the future, I said to myself, “oh no.” Every time a horror killer goes to outer space, it’s destined to fail. The Leprechaun, Jason Voorhees, and Pinhead. But on the bright side, the movie doesn’t only take place in the future, but through different periods, a bloodline dating to 1796, 1996, and 2127.
I was detached by this one, as watching this one felt like work. Even trying to write this feels like a chore. The characters suck, the acting is terrible, and the script is convoluted.
Although, I do have some positives to say. The gore and practical effects are still solid. There’s one scene where Pinhead gets confused, and you see it on his face, which is funny. And that’s it.
The next installments are not any better from what I know, and after this film, my expectations are low.
