9 Horror Movie Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators

There is a habit in Hollywood to take any successful franchise and give it sequels, prequels, reboots, and any other possible way of milking it for all that it’s worth until fans are utterly tired of it. Some of these franchises are forced to go in a different direction in an attempt to keep things fresh, which was exactly the plan for Prometheus in 2012.

Since the incredibly popular first two movies of the franchise, things had steadily declined. Prometheus was released a whole 15 years after Alien Resurrection, and to say that fans were underwhelmed and even a little annoyed would be an understatement.

The direction the movie went in was to essentially leave the iconic Xenomorph behind in favour of focusing instead on the Engineers. This was just one mistake made by the movie, but the only one that Ridley Scott has openly admitted to making.

After four movies he thought that audiences were tired of the Xenomorph, and that moving on would have been the best for the franchise. The immediate and passionate reaction to the movie from fans proved just how wrong he was.
