The most unsuccessful parts of famous horror film franchises (13 photos)

Perhaps many of you can immediately name quite a few famous film franchises. For example, "Bond", "Potter", "Star Wars" and so on. But perhaps the longest-running franchises belong to horror films, where the number of films exceeds a dozen! But quantity... does not mean quality. We propose to consider several horror films that have acquired many not the best sequels. This post contains the worst parts of the franchises. The traditional and most objective measure of evaluation, as always, will be audience ratings on the English-language IMDb.

Scream 3 (2000)





The worst of the Screams. But solely due to the influence of Western audience ratings on IMDb. If we take ratings, the worst would be Scream 4 (2011).

IMDb: 5.6

The Nun's Curse (2018)



Worst film in the Conjuring franchise. It also includes another spin-off, Annabelle. Everything is complicated here, which is why we made a separate post about the order in which to watch the films in this series.

IMDb: 5.3

Insidious 5: Red Door (2023)





The worst of the "Astrals". Surprisingly, only in this series the worst was the most recent part.

IMDb: 5.5

Final Destination 4 (2009)



Worst "Destination" However, it also became the highest-grossing film in the series.

IMDb: 5.1

Saw: Spiral (2020)



Worst "Saw" (9th part). This is a spin-off that is part of the franchise. Its production was launched by Chris Rock, who clearly deserved a slap in the face for the resulting result.

IMDb: 5.2

A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy is Dead (1991)



The worst of Nightmares on Elm Street.

IMDb: 4.7

Offspring of Chucky (2004)



The worst of the Child's Play franchise (Part 5).

IMDb: 4.9

Paranormal Activity 5: Haunting in 3D (2015)



Worst Paranormal Activity. Although the fourth part is estimated to be only two tenths better.

IMDb: 4.6

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)



The Worst of Halloweens (Part 8). Worthy competitors to Resurrection are Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982) and Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), but they have a slightly higher overall rating on the two sites.

IMDb: 3.9

Jason Goes to Hell: Final Friday (1993)



Worst "Friday the 13th" (9th part).

IMDb: 4.1

Children of the Corn: Genesis (2011)



The worst “Children of the Corn” (Part 9).

IMDb: 3.6

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4: The Next Generation (1994)



The worst “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, for which we congratulate young Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger, who played the main roles in it.

IMDb: 3.3

Hellraiser: Revelations (2010)



The worst of Hellraisers (9th part).

IMDb: 2.7
