"Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?"
24 October 2001
Bloodline was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it wasn't really great. This fourth installment of the series is done like an anthology. Taking us to the past, the present and the future, Bloodline reveals the origin of the puzzle box and how the gates of Hell were opened. While the plot is original and interesting, the touch of Clive Barker is sorely missed. Of course, had the director gotten to do what he wanted to do, this probably would've been a better movie. Another problem with this movie is that there isn't enough Pinhead. His role is more limited.

On the plus side, Doug Bradley gives an excellent performance as Pinhead. Also, the film does have great special effects. Like the other films in the series, there is also lots of gore and blood. The dark tone of the movie is also perfect.

Bloodline has it's good points and bad points, but it packs enough of a punch to have some entertainment value.
