Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (DVD, 2002, Unrated and R-Rated Versions)

This movie, pardon my French, sucks @$$. It is THE worst Jason movie ever made, and always will be.
I'll tell you why. JASON is only in this movie for about 5 minutes. He dies minutes into the movie and his
"soul" or whatever hops from body to body for the next 80 minutes. It's horrible. Now, this being the worst
of them all, does have a pretty cool looking Jason, while he is in his own body. And Jason body hopping
isn't the worst part, oh no, it gets worse. There's a "Halloween" rip off plot. Jason has a relative that he
has to kill for some stupid reason, and there's a magical sword/daggar thing that if used by a Voorhees
can kill Jason forever, and send him to Hell. Um... okay? Now, the acting is good for what they had to
work with, the music is ok, the video and audio are good, BUT, no matter how pretty you make it look,
crap is still crap. Jay Huguely, Adam Marcus & Dean Lorey have written one of the biggest pieces of
cinematic garbage, I have ever seen. Now, that being said, if this story was made as it's own movie and
had nothing to do with Jason, it might have been good. Same goes for film farces like that of Halloween 3.
The gore is plentiful and the blood flows like always, but the story is crap. The ending of the film is it's only
saving grace. Jason's mask is pulled underground when the gloved hand of Freddy Kruegar comes up from
Hell, thus hyping Freddy vs Jason that took another decade to even begin filming.

DVD Features: Unrated & R-Rated versions, Commentary, Alternate TV Version Scenes, Jump to a Death

I only recommend buying this to finish your collection, and to see the first scene and the final scene. Other
than those, Jason isn't in the movie. I do not recommend this movie to casual Jason fans expecting to see
Jason in a typical slaughterfest, because you don't get one. Die-hards only recommendation folks.

Next to Friday the 13th, part VI, this is my favorite "Jason only" film. The unrated version is the way to go, of course, with plenty of Grand Guignol gore and gruesomeness to satisfy me. Now I am huge fan of the film series, and am axiously waiting the remake due in 2009, so I am "reviewing" this movie as not only a horror flick, but also as a "Friday" film.
The most diverse in its depiction of violence, ranging from quasi-cannibalism to flesh-melting, the usual creative ways killing hapless campers are more entertaining because of the sheer variety of murderous techniques. Writers Dean Lorey and Jay Huguely, with the story by Huguely and Adam Marcus, give a sort-of explanation for Jason's regenerative abilities, and this in turn provides a way to "kill" him(and pave the way for the Jason versus Freddy movie). The Vorhees family history is explored, and the movie does a pretty good job of resolving the past eight movies to a satisfying finale.
So now lets talk about enjoying the movie. Kane Hodder returns as Jason (and as a morgue guard), as he is the. Best. Jason. Ever. Not just physically, but Hodder has the best presense and body language. Sadly not in FvJ, Hodders' few appearances are worthwhile. Erin Gray (!) has returned from the 23rd century to play Jason's niece, cousin, aunt,... not really sure their relationship, but they are related. As is Gray's daughter, played by the completely unremarkable Kari Keegan, and her character's baby... oh its too much to try to sum up. Sure, Gray is convincing, but it's the minor characters which set this "Friday" above the rest. Leslie Jordan and Rusty Schimmer are fantastic as Shelby and Joey. They ARE the movie in the few funny scenes scenes preceeding their equally humorous demises. The movie is worth watching once for their performances alone.
If you like horror movies, this one is a keeper. Its funny, gross, gory, and rarely strays from the killings. If you like this sort of thing, this the kind of movie to watch over and over. And do a shot after each kill.

If they ask me to do it again, I will,

The Final Friday for Jason Vorhees. This movie is directed by the original director who has come back to finish the last friday. In this film you do not see much of Jason. the lighting the whole movie is dark and the storyline is weak. Not what i expected for the final film. 3/5

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (2002, DVD)

Kane Hodder and John LeMay star in this 1993 horror
sequel. Slasher, Jason Voorhees tries to resurrect
himself through possession. This is good, but it
could've been better. This dvd not only has nice
picture and sound, but rated and unrated versions
plus some neat extras. I'd still add this to your
Friday the 13th or horror collection.
