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 series continuation that also acts as a prequel. The plot takes place throughout three time periods: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. My hopes for the fourth part in the series were low, and to be honest, I'm just here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites. Doug Bradley's performances are always enjoyable because he retains that chilly, menacing, and demonic atmosphere. This makes no logic and is tough to comprehend, but who cares about any of that? Even if you've watched Hellraiser, you should see Bloodline only for Pinhead's scenes since they're so horrific. If you like Hellraiser or any of Clive Barker's previous works, you should definitely check out this one. Even though there isn't much logic to it, it's a tremendously fun ride.
Critters
I must confess that I was curious when I learned that Critters 4 would take place in space. How, after all, could they beat the previous Critters films? The cast list, though, made it seem less promising when I looked at it later. Darren Dourif? Does Angela Bassett? Anders Hove, a well-known actor from Denmark? Simply put, I couldn't see how this could possibly work.
And my worst worries were realized while seeing Critters 4. The plot was poor, the characters were terrible, and the setting was a rip-off of other properties. From a fan's standpoint, what hurts the most is that the elements that made the prior installments distinctive and fun are either totally eliminated or absent. Critters 4 is a terrible disaster and a major letdown.
Dracula
Dracula 3000 is one of those rare awful horror movies that's so horrible it's virtually unwatchable. Dracula 3000 is one of my favorite films to despise. Even though it's horrible during its whole run time my primary problem is that the conclusion was a blatant cop-out leaving me absolutely unhappy . I had thought "Dracula in Space" would be so horrible it's fantastic, but instead it was so bad it was dreadful. The notion is entertaining, but the acting is awful, and the conversation is extremely unpleasant. I suggest seeing it if you want (link here) to feel unhappy the rest of the day.
And Coolio. It's Coolio. Did I say?
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.
It is my view that Jason X is interesting to see because of the easter eggs and allusions to prior Friday the 13th films, in addition to his transformation 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.
