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 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.
Critters
The idea of Critters 4 taking place in outer space piqued my interest. 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? Anders Hove, the well-known Danish actor? This was never going to work for me.
And when I eventually saw Critters 4, my worries were validated. It was merely a rip-off of other properties with a horrible setting and a bad tale with awful characters. The exact elements that made the prior entries special and enjoyable are either entirely stripped out or just absent, which is what truly stings from the fan's standpoint. A horrible disaster and a major letdown, Critters 4
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 movies 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 . (now updated) 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 to feel unhappy the rest of the day.
Coolio, too. Coolio is in it. Did I mention that before?
Jason Voorhees
Jason X is the most notorious horror film sequel in which the antagonist travels to outer space. Jason Voorhees is the man, the tale, and the myth. How he entered space is irrelevant. Why he is in space is of little interest to anybody. The only thing that counts is that Jason is in space and prepared to cause chaos.
I think Jason X is worth viewing for easter eggs and nods to earlier Friday the 13th movies, as well as his transformation into Uber Jason.
While this film isn't for everyone, it's a must-see for horror lovers who like campy, cheesy slasher flicks.
