I love it for its ambition and imagination

I’m certainly in the extreme minority of people who can appreciate the ambition behind Bloodline. Though the film got hacked up and reduced the plot to a mess (as only Dimension and Joe Chappelle could do it!), the multiple storylines stretched over three time periods makes for an interesting take on the Hellraiser mythos. It also features some slick gore and makeup gags, which comes as no surprise considering Kevin Yagher was at the helm (before he was unceremoniously dumped in post-production); I suppose the problem comes when all of the explicit gore overtakes the film. Just as part three missed the mark in terms of capturing the themes of the series, so too does part four--but at least it’s trying to tell an epic story while doing so, which gives it the nod. he thing I loved about this movie is it went in between different periods of time and gave you a better understanding of what's going on with the mystic boxes but from the viewpoint of the central characters ancestors. It's a great idea and worked really well in the film and also had a wonderful ending that allowed everything to be over with but with the timeline allowing for further movies to be made without any problems.
