Dracula 3000 and other space horror films

Most horror movie goers are constantly on the lookout for the next big shock in the form of a sequel. 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


The worst of the Leprechaun horror movie series is Leprechaun 4: In Space. Yes, it takes place in space, but that's what makes it so amazing. Leprechaun 4 is a great example of how to make something "special" out of a totally ridiculous premise. The movie is full of practical effects, creative kills, and Leprechaun quotes that will make you roll on the floor laughing. Leprechaun 4: In Space is a must-see for anyone who likes the Leprechaun movies or scary movies in general.

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


When I heard that Critters 4 would take place in space, I was interested. I mean, how could they top the Critters movies that came before? But when I looked at the cast list, it didn't look good. Dourif, Brad? Angela Bassett? And a well-known actor from Denmark named Anders Hove? I couldn't figure out how this would work.

When I eventually watched Critters 4, all of my worst concerns were realized to be true. The plot was poor, the characters were terrible, and the environment was a terrible rip-off of other brands' settings. When viewed from the standpoint of a fan, it is especially disappointing since the very elements that made earlier installments in the series distinctive and interesting have either been eliminated entirely or are simply not there at all. The fourth installment of the Critters series is a shambles and a major letdown.

Dracula


The horror film Dracula 3000 is one of those rare examples of a horrible horror movie that is so awful that it is almost impossible to watch. I despise Dracula 3000 with a passion. 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 and left me feeling absolutely disappointed. 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 awful. Although the idea is entertaining, the performance is subpar, and the conversation is almost insufferable to sit through. If you want to have a terrible mood for the rest of the day, you should definitely watch it.

coolio Coolio appears. That?

Jason Voorhees


Jason X is the most well-known horror film sequel in which the villain travels to space. Jason Voorhees is the man, the tale, and the myth. It makes no difference how he arrived into space. Nobody cares why he's in space. All that counts is that Jason is in space, ready to cause mayhem.

I think Jason X is entertaining to watch for the transformation of Jason into Uber Jason as well as the Easter eggs and throwbacks to prior Friday the 13th flicks.

While this film isn't for everyone, it's a must-see for horror lovers who like campy, cheesy slasher flicks.

Conclusion

Horror movie sequels are a VERY mixed bag. Some sequels, like Leprechaun 4: In (Friday the 13th in space) Space, take an already ridiculous premise and turn it into something special. Others, like Dracula 3000, are so bad they're nearly unwatchable. If you're a horror movie fan, it's definitely worth checking out some of the more infamous horror movie sequels in space. Who knows, you might just find a new favorite horror movie.
