Hellraiser: Bloodline | 1992 | R | - 5.9.5

In this fourth "Hellraiser," a man must atone for the error of his ancestor.

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A naked, shackled man is lying on a bed while a naked woman lays over him and kisses his body up and down (seen briefly and from a distance so not much is evident. The only nudity is his chest and the sides of her breasts). One sex scene during which we clearly see a woman's breasts and the top of her buttocks.

VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A few explosions (flesh explodes a couple of times). Deformed demons, a woman is strangled, an autopsy with an arm being carved and a chest and abdomen opened up and a woman is skinned. People with blood on their faces, bodies and hands. A man with a bloody body and torn mouth, hooks fly into people and tug at their bleeding bodies as they scream -- a man's face is torn off by hooks. A woman cuts a man's face many times and then digs into his cheek as he screams. Beating hearts are pulled out of people's bodies. Two bloody decapitations.

LANGUAGE 5 - About 5 F-words, a handful of scatological references, a few mild obscenities.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Demons, heaven and hell, technology, ancestry, the future.

MESSAGE - Hell is real and we must guard against it.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
