Ilikehorrormovies Despite the plot holes and other mistakes, I enjoy this film. I thought it was better than the remake and it's good as Part 3. I haven't seen Jason X (2002), if I did then I know what I'm thinking about that film. The story may not be strong but I thought it was satisfying. Is the best Friday film? No. Is it enjoyable? Yeah. I know people will disagree with me but it's just my opinion. I put it on #3 spot on the Friday The 13th list. It's worth a watch.
powermandan Although iconic, the "Friday the 13th" are not very good. Of the three top slasher series (Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street being the other two) "Friday the 13th" doesn't have any truly good instalments that are clever or are works of art. "Friday the 13th" has had more bad instalments than the others and the ones that I have given thumbs up to are mostly either mercy votes, or I simply got to know the series well. After watching all eight "Friday the 13th" flicks, I got to know what to expect and how to truly understand it. The thing with horror movies is they often need to be treated differently. If you analyze a horror movie like you do with any other kind of film, I guarantee you'll hate it. That's how I got to get through the "Friday the 13th" series. Even after doing this, the ninth instalment was still sooooooo bad!Jason Goes To Hell is the "Friday the 13th" flick that finally explains how Jason survives and keeps coming back from the dead. In the previous films the when he comes back to life, it is pretty interesting and plausible in the world of slashers. This seems to contradict the previous films in such horrible and ludicrous ways. It is explained that Jason's spirit can jump from body to body. Supposedly that's why his mother was the killer in the first film and why that crazy guy killed in Part 5. So Jason's spirit roams but it still unclear on how the same being goes on the killing sprees. They tried to explain, but it didn't make sense. So the movie opens up with Jason being blown to bits by the feds and an autopsy being done to see how he can come back. Seems safe, considering he's been exploded into smithereens. Richard Gant is a doctor who is summoned to eat Jason's heart and take over the killing spree. The moment Gant eats his heart, I was done. Some other people embody Jason in other mega-trashy scenarios. Their tongues become ugly snakes and they summon little creatures to help them with the kills. One dude explains how to kill Jason--the only thing about nature that makes perfect sense. I totally hate when years of something is flushed down the toilet for something extremely stupider. That's why I hated the Rob Zombie Halloween remakes. But Jason Goes To Hell is actually worse. The only good moment is near the end when we see the real Jason come and raise hell. I've always found Jason to be an awesome presence. Him going to hell was kinda cool too. They don't actually show him in hell, but whatever. This little bit of Jason that they do show is barely a plus. And believe it or not, the acting in this (although pretty bad) is not as bad as in some other instalments. The only thing that kept me from not awarding this any stars is this was able to sustain my interest of Jason's supernatural. Although it didn't pay off, the sustainment prevented a 0-star.
Mc Bun1 Almost all the Jason movies I've seen have left me entertained, and the Final Friday is no exception. It has all the Jason style murders that you look forward too but not overly graphic too except for one or two scenes that show Jason's attempt to exit from bodies that he inhabited, uggh! There's good suspense, twists and the end is an unexpected surprise. But the performances are mostly forgettable except for John LeMay as Steven who tries to save his wife & kid from Jason or Steven Williams as the bounty hunter Duke. There's some nudity too but again, not quite in the face either. If you've been a fan of Jason movies, you'd like this one no matter if some of the scenes seem outright ridiculous.
Realrockerhalloween Jason appears back at crystal lake looking like his old self with no explanation of how he traveled such a long distance or survived the toxic waste. Jason now has a rich mythology, maybe not rich, attributed to his character where he is a demon possessing worm that can hope from body to body and can only be truly killed by a Vorhees using a blessed dagger or being resurrected. Who came up with this? Did they not watch the series at all? What were they thinking? This time the series didn't shy away from what a ripoff it was and gave him a sister that was never mentioned or heard of until this film. A house where he grew up and still haunts. I'm guess Ellis got another woman pregnant after leaving his old family? Don't worry if your confused. The screen writer didn't seem to know what to do and made it up as they went along.It seems in a way that they wanted to create another Jason lives with nods to other horror films like the crate, necronomicon and sister angle. Yet this time it fell completely flat and was laughably bad. I liked his look at the beginning of the film and wished he kept it for most of the film instead of this worm demon thing. Duke was a cool character who seemed to have a history with Jason, I guess neither Feldman nor Mathews, wanted anything to do with this film after reading the horrible script. I even enjoyed the setup for Freddy vs. Jason by having Freddy's glove come up and grab his mask. I wish Freddy had a cameo of Jason in one of the nightmares to reflect each other. Otherwise this was the worst the series had to offer in my opinion. Only three points for the scenes I mentioned. Avoid at all costs.
