20 "WTF Did I Just Watch" Horror Sequels
1. Jason X
And finally, all rise for one of the stupidest horror films ever made. It is so freaking dumb that it makes the earlier Friday the 13th films look positively Shakespearean.
In Jason X, Jason Voorhees has been captured by the US government and ends up being cryogenically frozen, which is how he stays for the next few hundred years. Then, long after Earth has been abandoned due to excessive pollution (humanity now lives on a new planet), a ship accidentally picks Voorhees up and revives him, leading to Jason going on the rampage aboard a futuristic spaceship... right.
Maybe someone pitched that as an April Fool's joke and it accidentally got taken seriously? Otherwise, it's difficult to comprehend how this actually got turned into a movie. No-one ever asked to see Jason Voorhees upgraded into a futuristic cyborg or battle a back-flipping female robot, and there's a good reason for that!
Another mad moment is when Jason is distracted by a simulation of Crystal Lake, complete with two VR girls who draw Jason's ire by talking about how much they love premarital sex. That part is actually very funny and is surprising because it's a rare moment of genuine self-awareness. If this movie had been more like the aforementioned Leprechaun 4 and embraced the camp, it could've worked, but instead, it takes itself far too seriously.
As a result, it's an absolute cringe-fest, and it'll have you going "WTF?!" all the way through... but not in a good way.
