No, seriously, I think I explain the whole story pretty much, so SPOILER-WARNING again!
I like this part of the Hellraiser Series (for me the first films, 1,2,3,4 stand beside the second ones 5,6,7,8 because their style differs so much).
For me it's like this: 1. Film: Creating a universe of demons that produces suspense, nightmarish. 2. Film: Making Hellraiser focus on HELL, hellish 3. Film: Making the film focus on Pinhead, who is a clown in this one and not the king of suffering 4. Film: Making all the best out of weak part 3 and completing the series.
I find the story of BLOODLINE perfectly reasonable (3 generations of toymakers, destruction of the box and Pinhead): 1. Philip Lemarchand creates the box for a crazy man. P.'s the first to create a plan to destroy the box, too. 2. John Merchant is a famous architect and builds the skyscraper seen at the end of HR 3 (which I think is a ridiculously weak means of giving part 3 a climax). 3. Paul Merchant has to finish the work of his ancestor Philip by building a space station that turns into the "Elysium Configuration",... 4. ...which destroys Pinhead and the devilish puzzle box.
Worth watching, understanding, and for me the Final for Pinhead.
A nice quote from the Film: "He got pins on his head!"
