In this episode of ‘Two Guys in a Chainsaw,’ we dive into ‘Hellraiser: Bloodline’ for part three of our ‘Horror in Space’ series.

Todd, who is less familiar with the Hellraiser franchise, and Craig, who has seen more of the movies, discuss the unique elements that set this film apart from typical horror settings. We both found the film surprisingly enjoyable despite its poor initial reception. We loved its coherence, special effects, and performances, especially Doug Bradley’s extensive monologuing as Priest of Hell Pinhead.

Despite the issues that naturally come with a film full of studio interference and multiple directors (it’s credited to “Alan Smithee”, after all), we both found this fourth installment of the franchise engaging and well-paced, with a fascinating storyline that works, with great visual style and creative kill scenes.

Enjoy this episode, for Jason X is coming up!
