Hellraiser: Bloodline

I'm not sure what it is about the Hellraiser series, but each one scares the shit out of me! Mabe because it deals with hell, or maybe because it's very painful to have your skin ripped of by hooks. In this movie, a man is trying to destroy the box that opens the gate to hell. His ancestor created the box, so he feels responcible for it's destruction. He takes the box to space and is soon arrested. He tells the story of his bloodline and soon gets the chance to stop Pinhead once and for all. Very cool gore scenes and good story too. Overall a 4 out of 5.
