Horror Movie Sequels That Went to Space


Horror movie sequels are always a hit and most horror movie fans are looking for the next great scare. But what happens when horror movie villains go to space? Here are 5 horror movie villains that went to space. Some were successful, while others were not so much.

1. The Leprechaun

Leprechaun 4: In Space is the sleeper of the Leprechaun horror movie series. Yes, it's set in space, but that's exactly what makes it so mind-numbingly great. Leprechaun 4 is a perfect example of how to take a totally ridiculous premise and turn it into something really "special." The movie is chock-full of practical effects, creative kills, and Leprechaun quotes that will have you rolling on the floor. If you're a fan of Leprechaun movies or horror movies in general, Leprechaun 4: In Space is a must-watch.

2. Pinhead

Hellraiser: Bloodline is a fascinating continuation of the series that also serves as a prequel. The story spans three different time periods: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. My expectations for the fourth installment of the series were not very high, and let's be honest: I'm really only here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites. It is always a pleasure to see Doug Bradley perform because he maintains that icy, sinister, and demonic aura. This makes no sense and is difficult to grasp, but who cares about any of those things? Even if you've seen everything of Hellraiser before, you should see Bloodline simply for Pinhead's sequences since they're so terrifying. If you liked Hellraiser or any of the other works by Clive Barker, you should check out this one for sure. Even if there isn't a whole lot of logic behind it, it's still a really entertaining journey.

3. Critters

When I heard that Critters 4 was going to be set in space, I have to admit I was intrigued. I mean, how could they possibly top the previous Critters movies? But then I saw the cast list and it just didn't look promising. Brad Dourif? Angela Bassett? And a famous Danish actor named Anders Hove? I just didn't see how this was going to work.

All of my fears were confirmed when I finally saw Critters 4. The story was bad, the characters were bad, and it was just a rip-off of other franchises set in a terrible location. What really hurts from a fan perspective is that the very things that made the previous entries unique and entertaining are either completely stripped out or just not present at all. Critters 4 is a complete mess and a huge disappointment.

4. Dracula

Dracula 3000 is one of those rare bad horror movies that's so bad it's nearly unwatchable. I love to hate Dracula 3000 to death , even though it's atrocious throughout its entire run time my main gripe is with the ending was a total cop-out left me utterly unsatisfied . I had hoped "Dracula in Space" would be so bad it's good, but instead it was so bad it was terrible. The premise is fun, but the acting is bad, and the dialogue is absolutely unbearable. I recommend watching it if you want to be miserable the rest of the day.

Also, Coolio. It stars Coolio. Did I mention that?

5. Jason Voorhees

Jason X is the most infamous horror movie sequel where the villain goes to space. Jason Voorhees is the man, the myth, the legend. How he got into space, it doesn't matter. Why he's in space, no one cares. All that matters is that Jason is in space and ready to wreak havoc.

In my opinion, Jason X is worth watching for easter eggs and callbacks to other Friday the 13th movies, as well as his transition into Uber Jason.

While this movie isn't everyone's bag, it's a great watch for horror movie fans that love campy, cheesy, slasher films.

Conclusion

Horror movie sequels are a VERY mixed bag. Some sequels, like Leprechaun 4: In Space, take an already ridiculous premise and turn it into something special. Others, like Dracula 3000, are so bad they're nearly unwatchable. If you're a horror movie fan, it's definitely worth checking out some of the more infamous horror movie sequels in space. Who knows, you might just find a new favorite horror movie.

Skinamarink Review - Is it worth watching?

Walking into Kyle Edward Ball's latest horror flick "Skinamarink" is like taking a trip down the rabbit hole. It's a twisted, surreal experience that leaves you feeling both disorientated and disturbingly mesmerised. If you're a fan of horror, you'll relish the opportunity to get lost in its strange, unsettling visual language - and if you're not, well, this movie will change your mind. But let's not beat around the bush here - "Skinamarink" is not for the faint of heart. It's a movie that demands your attention and a working pair of eyes to take in all the madness. Ball's background in filming user-submitted nightmares gives him a unique perspective on what truly terrifies us, and he's not afraid to push the limits of traditional horror storytelling. This is a movie that wants you to experience it, not interpret it. The film follows two children who wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing and all the wi

Jurassic World: Dumpster Fire (Dominion is bad)

Image
As a movie critic, I have seen my fair share of mediocre films, but Jurassic World: Dominion takes the cake for being one of the most underwhelming films of the year. The third installment of the Jurassic World trilogy and the sixth of the Jurassic Park franchise promised an epic conclusion to the saga but failed to deliver on every front. From the get-go, it was clear that this film was going to be a disaster. Jurassic World: Dominion begins with a fascinating idea of dinosaurs invading the world as an invasive species. However, instead of taking this concept and running with it, the movie decides to go with a safer route by keeping the dinosaurs confined to a conveniently contained park. This is just the first of many disappointments in the film. One of the most significant problems with Jurassic World: Dominion is its inability to live up to its own hype. The film was marketed as a grand finale to the Jurassic World trilogy, and fans were promised huge developments and a satisfyin
