Critters 4: They're Invading Your Space (1992)

The series began in space so it makes a kind of sense that it should end there, too. Having vicious aliens loose on a space station is going to draw comparisons with Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), two films that it apes as best it can with the limited budget and resources. It’s no surprise that it’s not very good, but it’s virtually impossible to make a bad film when you have Angela Bassett and Brad Dourif in the cast. Because of those two it’s best described as a Curate’s egg, which is a very apt idiom when you consider the plot.
