A major step up from part III

I agree. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole reason the general audience hates it is because it's Pinhead in space. They've been taught that horror villains in space is automatically bad, no matter who the villain is.

I realize the movie was butchered by the studio, but I still rate it above Hellraiser III. It's a much more serious, dark, disturbing movie and closer in tone to the original.

This one wasn't bad by any means, but I actually preferred Part 3. It just entertained me more than this one and I feel the characters were more interesting.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

I wouldn't say its a huge step up from part 3 but I did like it slightly more. The first two are the only true Hellraiser movies to me.

Bloodline is the only good Hellraiser film, IMO.

I cringed when I first saw the sci-fi opening but it really wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it much more than 3 but I dislike where they took the Pinhead character.

Pinhead & The Cenobites seemed much more neutral in the 1st two movies. They gave a reason for Pinhead's "evil" character in the third movie but not for the 4th. He's just as evil in the 4th with no explanation.

Was there any reason given how the apprentice necromancer (or whatever) gained immortality? Did he get it from Angelique?

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

I liked 3 better but neither film is anywhere near the first 2. Bloodlines just felt kind of B movie to me. I know there is some missing footage so maybe that would've helped but I still feel that 3 is the third best in the series haha.

Had the exact opposite problem. Part 3 was fast paced, fun, and interesting while this one was beyond boring and dull. Not to mention 3 has way better characters and writing. This may have been more ambitious in plot scope, but that plot has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
