10 Films That Wanted To Be Star Trek

Be honest, this one is a bit of a shock. While there was an argument to include Hellraiser III on this list, featuring Terry Farrell in her pre-Deep Space Nine days, the fourth Hellraiser film actually fits the world of Star Trek a little better than many might assume. For one, the film is primarily set in space.

The film, released in 1996, the same year that Star Trek: First Contact hit theatres, sees a time-hopping tale that goes from an advanced future to Earth's past - in a plot that feels more than a little inspired by the Borg's temporal plans for humanity.

This film introduces Angelique, a new variation on the Cenobites and demons from Hell. With the film also featuring Adam Scott, who has a small role as the helmsman of the USS Defiant in Star Trek: First Contact, there are several similarities here. Angelique is easily likened to the Borg Queen, with both attempting to use temptation to gain power. Trickery is eventually the downfall of both the Borg and the Cenobites, as the descendant of LeMarchand deduces the way to destroy the demons, while former drone Locutus/Jean-Luc Picard destroys the Borg.

Though Bloodline may be one of the outliers in this list, there are enough similarities to say that this Hellrasier film was trying its best to be a part of the Final Frontier.
