In the twenty-second century, a scientist tries to rectify the mistake that his forefather created: click here the puzzle box that unlocks the gates of Hell, allowing Pinhead and his Cenobite armies to free themselves.
There were four Hellraiser movies that were shown in theaters, and the last one was called Bloodline. The movie's story is a lot longer than the typical 90-minute movie. It's not good if they did that, because we'd have to wait a long time to get our Pinhead. Surely, having Pinhead show up in the first second is more important than coherent storytelling, or even keeping studio interference low enough that the director doesn't walk off set in anger because of it. Surely.
