Space-based creatures in films

Horror movie sequels are usually popular, and viewers yearn for the next fright. What happens when monsters travel to space? 5 horror villains travelled to space. Some succeeded, some didn't.

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


As a precursor and a sequel, Hellraiser: Bloodline is an interesting addition to the 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, and to be honest, the only reason I'm watching is to see more of 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, you should still see Bloodline for the frightening parts with Pinhead. 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 learned that Critters 4 would take place in space, I must confess that I was fascinated. How, exactly, could they top the previous Critters films? However, when I saw the cast list, it did not appear encouraging. Who is Brad Dourif? Angela Bassett? And the renowned Danish actor Anders Hove? I just could not understand how this would work.

And my concerns were verified when I eventually watched Critters 4. The plot, characters, and setting were all dreadful rip-offs of other properties in a horrible setting. 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


Dracula 3000 is one of the few bad horror movies that are so bad that they're almost impossible to watch. I hate Dracula 3000 and I love it. Even though it's terrible the whole time, the worst part is the ending, which was a total cop-out and left me feeling very unsatisfied. I thought "Dracula in Space" would be so bad that it would be funny, but it was so bad that it was awful. The idea is fun, but the acting (new update) is bad and the dialogue is so bad that it's almost impossible to watch. If you want to feel bad for the rest of the day, you should watch it.

Also, Coolio. Coolio plays a role in it. Have I mentioned that already?

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.

In my view, Jason X is worth seeing for easter eggs and nods to past Friday the 13th movies, as well as his metamorphosis 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

Horror movie sequels are a VERY mixed bag. Leprechaun 4: In Space, for example, takes a silly concept and turns it into something very memorable. Others, like Dracula 3000, are so terrible they're virtually unwatchable. If you're a horror movie enthusiast, it's certainly worth checking out some of the most iconic horror movie sequels in space. This may be the start of an all-new love affair with the genre for you.
