Jason X (2002) – WTF Happened to This Horror Movie?

Last Updated on October 9, 2021

It’s widely agreed upon that space is where horror icons go to die. Whether you like or dislike Leprechaun 4: In Space, Hellraiser: Bloodline, or Critters 4, everyone can agree that these entries are not top of their class. Jason X (WATCH IT HERE – OWN IT HERE) was explicitly made to keep fan interest in the character during the pre-production woes of Freddy Vs. Jason. But what started as a pitch joke, found footing in what could be accomplished if an unstoppable killer was unleashed in a new environment?  

Jason X was an honest attempt to use the setting of space to push Voorhees into a new and uncharted territory. Marred by meddling producers, budget cuts, and a studio that had lost faith in the product, The team on Jason X tried to do space right when everything else was against them. Join us as we head to the stars and find out What The F*ck Happened To This Horror Movie?

Jason X stars Peter Mensah, Lisa Ryder, Lexa Doig, Chuck Campbell, and Kane Hodder. It’s directed by Jason Issac, written by Todd Farmer, and has the following synopsis:

Jason Voorhees returns with a new look, a new machete, and his same murderous attitude as he is awakened on a spaceship in the 25th century.
