When horror films move to space

Horror film sequels are always popular, and most horror film fans are searching for the next terrifying experience. But what happens when the villains of horror films go to space? Here are five horror film villains that traveled to outer space. Some were successful, but others did not fare as well.

The Leprechaun


The Leprechaun horror film series' sleeper is Leprechaun 4: In Space. Yes, it is set in space, but that is precisely what makes it so mind-numbingly fantastic. Leprechaun 4 is an excellent illustration of how to convert a completely ludicrous idea into something really "unique." The film is jam-packed with realistic effects, innovative killings, and hilarious Leprechaun lines that will have you rolling on the floor. Leprechaun 4: In Space is a must-see for fans of the Leprechaun franchise or horror films in general.

Pinhead


Hellraiser: Bloodline is an intriguing continuation and prequel to the franchise. The narrative covers three distinct eras: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. I did not have very great hopes for the fourth episode of the series, and let's be honest: I'm really just here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites. Doug Bradley's performances are always enjoyable because he maintains an air that is chilly, menacing, and demonic. This is illogical and hard to comprehend, but who cares? Even if you have watched the whole of Hellraiser, you should see Bloodline for Pinhead's horrific moments alone. If you like Hellraiser or any of Clive Barker's previous works, you should definitely check out this one. Even if there isn't much sense to it, it's still a really interesting voyage.

Critters


I must confess that I was fascinated when I heard that Critters 4 will be set in outer space! I mean, how could they possible beat the previous Critters movies? But then I saw the cast list and it simply didn't seem promising. Brad Dourif? Is that Angela Bassett, by any chance? Isn't Anders Hove a well-known Danish actor? I couldn't see how this could work in the end.

And my concerns were verified when I eventually watched Critters 4. A rip-off of other franchises placed in a poor locale, the plot was awful, the characters were bad, and the tale was bad as well. What truly hurts from a fan standpoint is that the very features that made the prior entries distinctive and enjoyable are either entirely stripped away or simply not there at all. Critters 4 is a terrible mess and a major letdown.

Dracula


One of the very few awful horror films that is so horrible it's almost unwatchable is Dracula 3000. I adore detesting Dracula 3000. Even though it's terrible the whole time, my primary complaint is that the finale was a complete cop-out and left me Jason X feeling absolutely disappointed. "Dracula in Space" wasn't as horrible as I had imagined it would be; rather, it was dreadful. The concept is interesting, but the performance is poor, and the conversation is intolerably annoying. If you want to have a bad day, I suggest viewing it.

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

Jason Voorhees


The most notorious follow-up in which the antagonist travels to outer space is Jason X. The man, the myth, and the legend that is Jason Voorhees is indisputable. How he got into space, it doesn't matter. No one has any idea why he's up there. Everything else doesn't matter; all that matters is that Jason is out there, ready to cause mayhem.

Jason X is, in my view, worth observing for Easter eggs and references to earlier Friday the 13th films, as well as his transformation into Uber Jason.

Although not everyone's cup of tea, this movie is a lot of fun to see for horror movie lovers who like goofy, cheesey, campy slasher movies.

Conclusion

Sequels to horror films may be VERY inconsistent. Some follow-up films, such as Leprechaun 4: In Space, take an absurd idea and make it into something extraordinary. Some of them, like Dracula 3000, are so awful that they're hard to watch. It's absolutely worth seeing some of the more notable horror movie sequels in space if you're a lover of the genre. Who knows, you may discover a new favorite slasher film.
