There are several which have been huge disappointments.
Friday the 13th part V onwards, though VI & X tried their best.
Halloween part III onwards.
Nightmare on Elm Street part IV onwards.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 onwards, including the remakes.
Hostel was another big letdown.
Alien Resurrection, because I think Alien 3 was the best end Fincher could give to that series, since 20th Century Fox denied James Cameron AND Ridley Scott the rights to make a third Alien film.
Alien vs Predator was downright silly. They could have taken both film stories and weaved a story around them, maybe given an indication to the abandoned crashed spaceship of the original Alien. Instead they tried to follow the video-game, and it became totally bad.
The Shining didnt work for me either. I heard so much about this film that I bought its DVD at an atrocious price, but when it ended I felt cheated out of my money. Sorry to all the Shining fans.:o
Predator 2 wasnt upto expectations either. The idea was good, but the application of it couldnt be perfected.
Blade Trinity was a HUGE disappointment. I thought Blade II was a great sequel.
The Child's Play films werent that great either. I wasnt scared of Chucky at all. The doll in Poltergeist and the clown of It had Chucky beaten by a mile in the scare department.
In other genres, Titanic. A big, BIG disappointment from the man who had brought Aliens, The Terminator and The Abyss to the screen.
From Dusk Till Dawn 2, that was another disappointing sequel to a great film.
