Hellraiser IV: Bloodline 1996  R, 84 min.
Genre: Horror / Thriller / Fantasy / Sci-Fi
aka: Hellraiser: Bloodline
Director: Alan Smithee
Cast: Bruce Ramsay, Valentina Vargas, Doug Bradley, Charlotte Chatton, Adam Scott, Kim Myers, Mickey Cottrell, Pat Skipper, Louis Turenne, Courtland Mead, Paul Perri, Wren T. Brown, Louis Mustillo, Jody St. Michael, Christine Harnos
This fourth in the series of "Hellraiser" films is not very entertaining–note the fact that the director is "Alan Smithee" (an alias used in Hollywood when the director does not want to be associated with his film). Anyway, this episode finds Pinhead (Doug Bradley) in the 22nd century. He is on a space station run by Dr. Paul Merchant (Bruce Ramsay) whose mission is to close the gates to Hell. Pinhead now sets out to prevent Merchant from acheiving his goal because Pinhead, of course, wants the gates left open.
