Hellraiser: Bloodline

[McCrutchy]

Confirmation:

This Blu-ray Disc is region-free. There is no 1080/50i or PAL content anywhere on the disc.

This is a solid encode of a problematic master, which was quite obviously done from a film print source, as cue blips come up at regular intervals. The Dimension Films logo is present on the film, and I would not be surprised if the image content is more or less identical to the US BD from Echo Bridge.

The audio plays as 5.1, but again, I would not be surprised if this were simply a slightly enhanced 2.0 mix. The surround activity is practically non-existent.

One oddity: The film ends a few seconds early, with the music cutting off and the final end credits not completing their scroll up the screen. There is then a black screen before the viewer is taken back to the animated menu. This makes me suspect that this error is present in the Miramax master and not the fault of Umbrella.

Umbrella does include a 4:3 trailer (1:31), presented in 1080p23.976. And when you return to the main menu after the film finishes, a small box with the disc production credits appears, which does not seem to be accessible in any other fashion.

If you like the film, this is probably the best version on sale now worldwide, but wait for it to go on sale.
