filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

skiop As this movie begins, an attractive young woman heads to Camp Crystal Lake and is chased by Jason. From this setup, we think this is going to be another by-the-numbers Jason flick. But the movie soon takes a turn into something much more unique (though not completely original).Producer Sean Cunningham, director of the first movie, returns to effectively reboot the series. This is the first after the acquisition of the series from Paramount by New Line and is obviously trying to set up a "Freddy vs. Jason" movie, though that wouldn't happen until a decade later.This movie follows ne'er-do-well Steven as he tries to reconnect with his baby momma, Jessica, who has her own ties to Jason. Steven has to find his inner courage to protect Jessica and their baby from Jason. It's a unique plot with grown-ups, far divorced from the silly teen flicks that preceded it.

MaximumMadness If there's one thing that can and should be said in defense of "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday", it's this......this is one bold, gutsy move for the franchise! Completely subversive and joyously disparate when placed in comparison to the previous eight films. A bizarre, red-headed-stepchild with a strange and sharp leaning towards the overly fantastical and blatantly magical. Taking what had been to that point an increasingly repetitious series, and attempting to inject some fresh blood for what was at the time considered to be the one... last... film to cap it all off.Is is a success? Well, I'd say for the most part, fans do consider it a failure because it strayed so much from the formula in trying to establish a grandiose finale. And I think I would probably consider it to be a bit of a failure for that very same reason. But it's definitely a fascinating and daring failure. One that I can get behind. Especially after the increasing monotony of the previous two films. Sue me, but I'll take an interesting failure that attempts to shake up the formula over a bland retread any day of the week!Jason Voorhees has finally been killed. After an FBI Sting Operation blows his body to smithereens, the town of Crystal Lake is finally able to settle down, knowing the figment that has haunted them for so many years is finally gone.Or is he?Nope! As it turns out, Jason has become something more than human, and his evil has given him the ability to possess others through some sort of relatively-unexplained magical means. Now, Jason is coming back to seek vengeance, taking the forms of various characters through body-swapping, intent on locating surviving members of the family, so that he may be reborn again through them in his original form. Now, his only living relative (Kari Keegan), her ex (John D. LeMay) and a bounty hunter who knows the truth about Jason (Steven Williams) must team up to stop him once and for all!Look, this movie's ridiculous. It's completely out of left-field. It doesn't really connect properly with the previous films. Its storyline is just bizarre. And it's a completely different beast tonally from any of the other flicks......but it's a lot of fun!Director Adam Marcus and writers Jay Huguely and Dean Lorey seem to have a ton of ideas on how to exploit this ridiculous concept, and are given free reign to just go crazy. There's a little something for everyone here. From a touch of the self-aware laughs that made "Jason Lives" so enjoyable, to some wild and whacked-out imagery (you won't look at a straight-razor the same way again!) to some good old-fashioned kills that harken back to the first couple of movies, this film aims to deliver a roller-coaster ride from Hell... and it does deliver on that promise.Add to that some likable performances, fun and inventive kinetic camera-work that knows how to make the best of it's lowish budget, weirdly entertaining humor and plenty of gore to go around... and it produces a film that I find to be a decent bit of dumb-fun.This movie is stupid. Beyond belief. And it doesn't feel anything like the previous eight outtings. But I'm OK with that. It's got a lot of insane-o concepts and ideas to play with, it knows exactly what it wants to be, and it's got some fiendishly creative minds at it's helm. It's a failure... but an entertaining and wildly ambitious failure that I can't help but root for.So I'm giving it a middle of the road 5 out of 10. If you're a fan of the franchise and are open minded, give it a shot. You might be one of the proud few who really enjoys this off-the-rails nutcase- of-a- flick.
