magnificent
to compose something so majestic
one could die happy welcome to watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10
underrated horror movie sequels
i jumped scared me for this list we
looking at spooky sequels that didn't
get their due
first time around we'll only be
including direct sequels on this list
no reboots or remakes here and there may
be some spoilers
so consider this your spoiler alert so
is there an unloved sequel you watch
every halloween
let us know in the comments now on to
the top ten
number ten final destination five
we all gotta get off what are you
talking about
the bridge is gonna collapse what we're
all gonna die
what the hell is going on we're all
gonna die if we don't get off this
bridge now
as the series wears on into its fourth
and fifth installments the chance of it
turning into a pure cash cow
increases and the size of its audience
usually trails off as a result but for
those who stick around there are often
all kinds of easter eggs and call backs
to be found as the later parts pay
homage
to those that came before that
doesn't like to be cheated final
destination 5
is a perfect example of this working in
a healthy amount of fan
service to its latest tale of doomed
teens and their quest to cheat death
making it a hugely rewarding watch for
day one fans
with some hugely impressive visual
effects to boot
final destination 5 is one of the series
true high points
death's after you too this is crazy
peter number nine
the texas chainsaw massacre ii
despite its title the original texas
chainsaw massacre plays things pretty
subtle for the most part the
cannibalistic sawyer family
isn't properly introduced until fairly
far into the movie
and most of the horror comes from a
general sense of offness
rather than any actual massacring the
sequel is far
less interested in subtlety you know why
i'm here
yes there's something about chainsaw
killers your brother's kids killed
it kicks off with leatherface
chainsawing his way through a hapless
victim and never looks back
ramping up a full-blown chainsaw duel
bigger
bolder and a whole lot sillier than the
original it might not be a better
film exactly but it is a whole lot of
fun
number eight alien covenant i can't
think of any other way to say than to
say but we
we have suffered a
monumental tragedy while the first two
alien movies are widely accepted as
genre classics
just about every subsequential sequel
has undergone an endless cycle of
rejection and reappraisal
with different fans and critics stumping
for different entries
2017's alien covenant was no exception
continuing prometheus's quest to
discover the true origins of mankind
magnificent
to compose something so majestic
one could die happy boasting another
hypnotic performance from michael
fassbender as the android
david covenant underperformed at the box
office and was met with a reasonably
lukewarm critical response but since
then many have found themselves falling
for its strange charms and it's worth
looking up for the homoerotic flute
playing alone
bravo you have symphonies in your
brother
number seven friday the 13th the final
chapter
i don't want to scare anyone but i'm
going to give it to you straight about
jason
his body was never recovered from the
lake after he drowned the disadvantage
of letting a horror series run on
forever
is that we never truly get a satisfying
ending
knowing that the bad guy will be back to
terrorize a new set of scantily clad
youths in a few years no matter how dead
he appears to be when the credits roll
but the man that killed your sister is
dead
it's alive so this final chapter
deserves props for doing its best to
live up to its name
offering a genuine conclusion to the
tale of jason voorhees in which the
machete wielding boogeyman
finally returns to crystal lake for a
new slasher spree
and finally meets his match before long
he'd be dragged back
up to sell more movie tickets but for
one satisfying moment
it looked like this really might be the
end
number six 28 weeks later
who were chasing you my mom my dad
they're trying to kill me appropriately
the popularity of zombies
never seems to quite die they just keep
coming back
often in a slightly different form 28
days later was part of the modern zombie
wave which usually
favors grittier more grounded tales over
splatterhouse
xs giving more focus to the hideous
moral decisions characters are forced to
make
than the elaborate ways they find of
re-killing their newly risen foes
while the first film centered on a
handful of average people trying to
survive in the intermediate aftermath of
a zombie pandemic the sequel zooms
forward a few months to follow a highly
trained nato squadron
as they try to reclaim a safe zone in
the middle of london
this more action-oriented follow-up is a
worthy successor to the original
if it comes back we kill it number five
creep 2. the creep series is another
example of an understated atmospheric
horror film that gets to let loose when
it comes time for the sequel
with mark duplass playing against type
as a serial killer who lures
videographers to their death creep puts
a clever spin on the found footage
format
watching a predator lead their prey to
their doom is all the more chilling
when you're looking through the eyes of
the victim you need to call the police
this is serious
throw in one of the most complex and
compelling deaths in recent horror
history
and creep has more than enough mileage
for a second installment
without a theatrical release it never
gained as much attention as it should
have
even though it currently boasts a
perfect 100 on rotten tomatoes
he is highly unpredictable and
potentially dangerous
number four psycho three and the dead
don't come back
you came back the original psycho is one
of the most famous films in cinema
history
so it would be easy to write off the
sequels as cash-ins designed to trade on
its good name
especially when they arrive a quarter of
a century after the first movie
directed by anthony perkins who also
stars
psycho 3 manages to breathe new life
into the bates motel by
leaning into its darkly comic undertones
geez you about scared the piss out of me
add in a depressed nun a mysterious
drifter and an intrepid reporter
and psycho three has all the ingredients
to serve up a wickedly funny addition to
the series
while still providing the shocks and
scares you would expect
naturally it can't compare to the
original but psycho 3
still has plenty to recommend it they're
gonna have you locked up forever
but i'll be free i'll finally be free
number three scream for
hello it's
trudy who's this this is the last person
you're ever gonna see
alive the scream series revolutionized
horror by featuring characters who had
grown up on slasher flicks
allowing them to call out all the
cliches and tropes as they encountered
them in their own stories
by its fourth installment though it
threatened to turn into everything it
was designed to make fun of
a by the numbers franchise that used the
same tricks again and again
to keep churning out sequels well i read
somewhere once
just when you think things can't get any
worse
sometimes they don't sometimes they get
better
so naturally this franchise exhaustion
became the target of the fourth movie as
it skewered the genre's tendency to
devolve into repetition
and mindless torture it turned out the
scream series was still
sharp as ever it just needed to find a
worthy target
i jumped scared me number two
halloween three season of the witch
kill us halloween 3 deserves to be
celebrated just for how ambitious
it is rather than safely retreading old
ground
and setting myers loose upon another set
of victims as halloween 2 had with some
success
the third part takes place in a world
where the first two installments exist
as fictional movies
leaving it free to tell a completely
different story
witchcraft to us it was a way of
controlling our environment
it's not so different now it's time
again
a story which involves witchcraft
druidism androids and all sorts of other
crazy
entirely unmichael myers related stuff
it's a true throw it at the wall and see
what splatters approach to storytelling
and it makes for one of the craziest
most unpredictable horror sequels ever
made
stop it stop it stop it
stop it before we unveil our top pick
here are a few other
underrated horror movies that deserve an
honorable mention paranormal
activity 3. the series dips back into
its origins to produce the scariest
installment to date
hellbound hellraiser 2. between this
and inferno no series does crazy sequels
like hellraiser
your suffering will be legendary even in
hell
and this is the hell you have created
for yourself wreck two possibly the
scariest movie to come out of the
cloverfield found footage boom
predators struggling for a sequel idea
add more predators i'm here kill me
do it now kill me cult of chucky
internet voodoo and insane asylum and
multiple chucky dolls
make for a wild ride

number one the exorcist three
it's a problem that i'm working on
father all this
bleeding having seen his novel adapted
into a horror classic and then
disappointing sequel
william peter blatty returned to set
things right by writing and directing
the third entry himself
in a particularly devilish turn he based
part of the new story on the zodiac
killer
a real-life murderer who was said to
have enjoyed the original
are they calling these gemini killings
in the papers
you must get them to do that lieutenant
it's important
ignoring the events of the second film
entirely it picks up 17 years
after the first one as lieutenant
william f kinderman tries to solve a
series of demonic murders
combining the cold-blooded thrills of a
serial killer story
with the supernatural scares the
exorcist series made its name with
bladdy created something entirely new
and
altogether terrifying i wanted you to
see this
