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
The series' interesting continuation, Hellraiser: Bloodline, also acts as a prequel. The 1700s, the 1990s, and the 2200s are the three eras that the tale takes place in. Let's face it: I'm really just here for Pinhead and the other Cenobites, so I didn't have very high hopes for the fourth episode of the series. Doug Bradley retains that chilly, menacing, and demonic vibe, making it a delight to see him play. Who cares if this is tough to understand and makes no sense? Bloodline is worth seeing even if you've watched Hellraiser in its entirety because of the gruesome Pinhead moments. Definitely give this one a look if you like Hellraiser or any of Clive Barker's previous books. Even if there isn't a lot of logic to it, the trip is quite enjoyable.
Critters
I'll confess that the announcement that Critters 4 will take place in space piqued my interest and got me excited. I mean, how could they possible beat the work that they had done in the prior Critters movies? But then I looked at the cast list, and it didn't appear very good at all. Where is Brad Dourif? Angela Bassett? And what about the renowned Danish actor Anders Hove? I simply couldn't fathom how something like this could work out.
And I was right after seeing Critters 4. Lousy tale, horrible characters, and a rip-off of other properties in a bad locale. What bothers fans is that the elements that made earlier entries distinctive and enjoyable are gone or not present. Critters 4 is a massive 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 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 . 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.
Also, Coolio. It stars Coolio. Did I mention that?
Jason Voorhees
The most notorious sequel to a horror film where the bad guy travels to space is Jason X. The person, the myth, the legend is Jason Voorhees. The method through which he entered space is irrelevant. Nobody questions why he is in space. The fact that Jason is in space and prepared to cause mayhem is all that counts.
Jason X has easter eggs and references to past (horror movies in space) Friday the 13th movies, plus he becomes Uber Jason.
Although this film isn't for everyone, aficionados of campy, cheesy slasher flicks will like it.
