15 Unbelievably Hideous Horror Movie Sequels

15. Alien: Resurrection

Sure, Prometheus and Alien: Covenent were pretty weak, but they're certainly not the worst in this wildly inconsistent franchise, which has entirely failed to match the highs of Alien or Aliens. The real low-point is this confused, un-scary and enormously irritating mess which can never figure out what to do with itself.

In fairness, it boasts some memorable gore moments, the performances are fine and it has a couple of interesting themes, but as a narrative, it just doesn't work at all and lacks dramatic weight or genuine tension. It also gets even sillier than the two prequel films, which is really saying something.

Alien: Resurrection speeds through many-tension free chase sequences before concluding with a bizarre finale involving an alien hybrid, thus adding up to a painfully unsatisfying viewing and a sad blot upon Alien's legacy.

In the film's famous basketball scene, Sigourney Weaver actually did the impressive basketball trick shot without special effects. And it's a sad comment that that's the most interesting thing about this movie.
