Donning 5 installments, Guinea Pig as a franchise was already struggling due to its restricted choice as to storylines. That’s a title not championed by many, but Guinea Pig truly is a splatterfest of the highest order.
CHARLIE MURDER BIRDEMIC SERIES
So controversial it prompted Charlie Sheen to report it for being a real snuff film, the first installment of the Guinea Pig series is one of the gories symphonies ever known.
CHARLIE MURDER BIRDEMIC PLUS
On the plus side, due to Disney buying Fox and Fox owning the Alien franchise, this means that the alien xenomorph is now a Disney princess. It’s impossible to deny how enjoyable the franchise is to watch, however it does feel to many like Ridley Scott is struggling to create fresh content for the franchise to go anywhere new and exciting and has made many question whether Alien is a franchise which has gone on for way too long. Spanning a list of 8 films (including Prometheus and the Alien/Predator crossover films), Alien is one of the most prolific horror/sci-fi franchises in horror. This entry may perhaps not be as great a shock to readers, as the long-awaited prequel Alien: Covenant was critically slammed by many people. It’s very unfortunate that Jaws became a film franchise that went on for way too long. For example, in Jaws 3-D, the shark escapes in SeaWorld and becomes trapped with a group of people.
CHARLIE MURDER BIRDEMIC MOVIE
Jaws unfortunately succumbed to the classic movie sequel curse. It almost feels blasphemous to add Jaws to this list, however it does feel necessary considering the disappointing sequels. *Gasp!* Jaws? Surely not!? Surely so! Jaws is the cause of pretty much all anxiety around open water and is a classic in all film circles. The concept is ridiculous and the execution was pretty bad in parts and so Leprechaun is a franchise that went on for way too long. Originally intended as a children’s horror film, Leprechaun was created without the gore and violence until it was decided that making it an adult series would allow for more freedom. Reaching the milestone of 7 films to the franchise’s name (rather lucky a number considering the Leprechaun mythology), Leprechaun remains one of the most bizarre franchises in horror circles, which is an impressive title. If you have not seen Leprechaun or any of the other films in the series, you may know Leprechaun for being the feature film debut of Jennifer Aniston. Whether a fan or not of the franchise, it has been unanimously decided that Paranormal Activity is a franchise that went on for way too long. Various people around the country have been experiencing paranormal activity and have documented said activity to create a half found-footage film. Quite the polarising franchise in the horror community, Paranormal Activity has always been controversial, with some loving it and some hating it. What began as an attempt to create a Hitchcock-inspired The Birds homage quickly turned into the biggest joke in the horror industry. Perhaps most shocking is that Birdemic 2 is on the cards with the director attempting to film a third installment.
For those of you who have not watched Birdemic, this should be warning enough to deter you from even bothering to watch Birdemic. You’ve probably heard of the Birdemic franchise and if your friends coerced you into it, have watched one or two of the films, however there’s absolutely no question as to whether or not Birdemic is a franchise which is terrible and has spanned on for way too long.
Despite this, it’s impossible to claim that Tremors isn’t a staple film for a good night in with a friend or partner. Who in their right mind would enjoy a film about killer worms? A lot of people, it so turns out! Spawning 4 direct sequels, the whole killer worm premise unsurprisingly fell short of fresh material and thus became increasingly dull, making us just wish that the franchise would end soon. Tremors is one of the craziest concepts for a horror film for quite some time. It’s with sadness that Resident Evil is a horror franchise that has gone on for way too long. Whilst Resident Evil was a good start to the franchise, the quality of films in the franchise sadly slowly declined and has done so to the point where fans have pleaded for no more films to be made. As of now, there are 6 films in the franchise, which has gone on to earn over $1.2 billion in the box office. Metal fans may recall Resident Evil for having heavy soundtracks and very notably, in Resident Evil (2002) Slipknot’s single My Plague was included in the soundtrack.
Resident Evil is perhaps the most well-known zombie game series and franchise to grace us and is one of the most popular for that matter. Gamers, you needn’t be introduced to this franchise at all. Continued from “ Horror Franchises that Went on Way too Long – Part 1:
