A futuristic take on Jason Voorhees
Horror film sequels are usually popular, and most horror film fans are searching for the next big shock. But what happens when the villains of horror films go to space? Here are five horror film villains who ventured to space. Some were prosperous, while others were not.The Leprechaun
The Leprechaun horror film series is best represented by its fourth installment, titled "Leprechaun in Space." The fact that it takes place in space, however, is precisely what gives it such a mind-bogglingly amazing quality. Leprechaun 4 is the ultimate illustration of how to take a completely ludicrous concept and convert it into something that is really "unique." The movie is packed to the gills with realistic effects, inventive killings, and hilarious Leprechaun lines that will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Leprechaun 4: In Space is an essential viewing experience for anybody who enjoys the Leprechaun film series or horror films in general.
Pinhead
Prequel and sequel rolled into one, Hellraiser: Bloodline is a must-see for fans of the horror genre. The plot covers three separate historical periods: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. I didn't have big hopes for the fourth film in the series since, let's face it, I'm just here for Pinhead and the Cenobites. It is always a delight to watch Doug Bradley play because he retains that chilly, menacing, and demonic vibe. This makes no logic and is tough to understand, but who cares about any of those things? The moments with Pinhead, even if you've watched Hellraiser to its conclusion, are still worth seeing if only for their sheer terror. If you loved Hellraiser or any of the other works by Clive Barker, you should check out this one for sure. Even though there isn't a whole lot of logic to it, it's still a tremendously interesting ride.
Critters
When I found out that Critters 4 was going to take place in outer space, I have to confess that the prospect piqued my interest. I mean, there's no way they can surpass the quality of the previous Critters flicks, is there? After that, though, I looked over the cast list, and I simply couldn't get excited about it. Brad Dourif? Angela Bassett? And what about a well-known Danish actor by the name of Anders Hove? It was impossible for me to fathom how this scenario might possibly play out.
And after viewing Critters 4, I was correct. It has a terrible setting, a terrible story, and terrible people. Fans are displeased because the characteristics that distinguished and enjoyed past entries are absent or missing. Critters 4 is a terrible failure.
Dracula
It's not often that a lousy horror movie is so awful that it's almost unwatchable, but that's exactly what Dracula 3000 is. I really like being annoyed by Dracula 3000. In spite of the fact that it is terrible for the whole of its running length, my primary complaint is that the conclusion was a complete and utter waste of time, which left me feeling completely unfulfilled. I had high hopes that "Dracula in Space" would be so horrible that it would be hilarious, but unfortunately, it was so bad that it was horrifying. The notion is entertaining, but the performance is terrible, and the conversation is intolerable to the extreme. If you want to have a bad mood for the rest of the day, I suggest you watch the video.
coolio Coolio appears. That?
Jason Voorhees
The most notorious horror movie sequel to take place in space is called "Jason X." Jason Voorhees is the real-life embodiment of the horror movie myth and legend. It doesn't matter how he got into space, but he did. Nobody really cares about the reason why he's in space. The only thing that counts is that Jason is out in space and ready to cause mayhem.
In my view, Jason X is interesting to see not just because of his transformation into Uber Jason but also because it contains (horror sequels in space) easter eggs and references to previous installments in the Friday the 13th film series.
While this movie isn't everyone's bag, it's a terrific viewing for horror movie enthusiasts who adore campy, cheesy, slasher pictures.
