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.
Pinhead
Hellraiser: Bloodline is an intriguing prequel and sequel to the Hellraiser franchise. The plot covers three separate historical periods: the 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s. Honestly, 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? Even if you've watched the whole Hellraiser series, it's worth seeing Bloodline just for the moments with Pinhead since they're so gruesome. 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 when I eventually saw Critters 4, all of my worst nightmares came true. The plot was poor, the characters were terrible, and it was essentially a rip-off of other successful series that was set in a lousy locale. The most disappointing aspect, from the point of view of the fans, is the fact that the same elements that made the previous installments distinctive and interesting have either been eliminated entirely or are just not there at all. The fourth installment of the Critters franchise is a chaotic and unsatisfying disaster.
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 horror movies 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 to feel unhappy the rest of the day.
And Coolio. It's Coolio. Did I say?
Jason Voorhees
Jason X is the most renowned horror sequel with a space villain. Jason Voorhees is an icon. How he got there doesn't matter. Why he's in space is unknown. All that counts is Jason is in space and ready to cause mayhem.
I think it's fun to watch Jason X for the Easter eggs and references to other Friday the 13th movies, as well as to see how he becomes Uber Jason.
While not everyone will like this film, horror movie aficionados who enjoy gory, cheesy slasher movies should definitely check it out.
