In space, Pinhead
It's no secret that sequels to horror films are very popular, and many moviegoers are constantly on the lookout for the next big shock. But what happens when horror movie villains travel to space? Here are 5 horror movie villains that ventured to space. Some were successful, while others were not so much.The Leprechaun
Leprechaun 4: In Space is the fourth entry in the Leprechaun horror film series. Yes, it is set in space, but that is precisely what makes it so brilliant. Leprechaun 4 is a fantastic illustration of how to transform a completely absurd idea into something "unique." The film is loaded with realistic effects, inventive deaths, and hilarious Leprechaun quips that will have you rolling on the floor. If you are a fan of the Leprechaun series or horror films in general, you must watch Leprechaun 4: In Space.
Pinhead
Hellraiser: Bloodline is a great addition to the series, and it also tells the story of what happened before the first book. The story takes place in the 1700s, in the 1990s, and in the 2200s. I didn't have very high hopes for the fourth movie in the series, and let's be honest: I'm mostly here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites. Doug Bradley is always fun to watch perform because he keeps up that icy, dark, and demonic vibe. This doesn't make sense and is hard to understand, but who cares about any of that? Even if you've seen everything in Hellraiser, you should watch Bloodline just for the scary parts with Pinhead. If you liked Hellraiser or any of Clive Barker's other books, you should definitely read this one. Even though there isn't a lot of logic to it, it's still a really fun trip.
Critters
When I heard that Critters 4 was going to be set in space, I have to admit I was intrigued. I mean, how could they possibly top the previous Critters movies? But then I saw the cast list and it just didn't look promising. Brad Dourif? Angela Bassett? And a famous Danish actor named Anders Hove? I just didn't see how this was going to work.
And my fears were confirmed when I finally saw Critters 4. The story was bad, the characters were bad, and it was just a rip-off of other franchises set in a terrible location. What really hurts from a fan perspective is that the very things that made the previous entries unique and entertaining are either completely stripped out or just not present at all. Critters 4 is a complete mess and a huge disappointment.
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 (Hellraiser: Bloodline) to feel unhappy the rest of the day.
Also, Coolio. It features Coolio. Have I mentioned this?
Jason Voorhees
The most famous horror movie sequel in which the bad guy goes to space is Jason X. Jason Voorhees is the person, the legend, and the myth. It doesn't matter how he got into space. No one cares why he's in space. Jason being in space and ready to cause trouble is all that matters.
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 this film isn't for everyone, aficionados of campy, cheesy slasher flicks will like it.
