From follow-ups nowhere near as good as the original to unnecessary spinoffs and reboots, these movie franchises have overstayed their welcome with too many sequels.
From vengeful shark tales to boring supernatural stories we’ve seen a million times before, here are the worst horror movie sequels that almost ruined franchises.
On June 20, 1975 a movie about an angry fish opened in about 500 theaters around the country. It was called Jaws, it was directed a guy named Steven Spielberg, it was scary as hell, and it changed the world forever. Its unique release strategy (wide instead of limited), intense television marketing campaign, and record-breaking box office essentially created the summer movie season (and made Spielberg a household name). 40 years later, regardless of its impact, Jaws remains a masterpiece, and a much better and more interesting movie than the vast majority of so-called summer blockbusters that it birthed.
