Yeah fucking right. The final chapter my ass. I wonder if people around when this movie came out thought this was actually going to be the final Friday the 13th movie? Truth be told, the franchise was making so much money at this point, there was no way Paramount was going to stop making these movies, but they needed a gimmick, and they used this one. I think everyone knew at this point (anyone who cared about the series anyway) that the movies were going to continue until they became unprofitable, but a lot of people skipped into the theater just to see a bunch of horny 30 year old teenagers getting naked and then getting killed in creative and gory ways, and in that respect, this film doesn't disappoint, but I find a lot to like about this movie besides that. Traditionally, horror movies feature a male lead and a female lead teaming up to fight some kind of evil and eventually triumphing. In this movie, it's a brother and a sister, not a dating or married couple, so that put a strange twist on it, and I remember when this movie came out I was drooling all over myself wanting to see it because there was a KID fighting JASON! How cool was that?

There are plenty of disposable "teens" who look way too old to be playing teens, and they are staying in a house next to where the teenage girl and her creepy little brother live, which gives Jason an easy target (a regular meals on wheels) since he doesn't have to go very far to find a bunch of willing victims. The plot...who really cares about that? A group of teenagers are having a party, there's a mysterious guy in the woods who I think might be a red herring, but who in the world thinks that anyone but Jason is going to be the killer in this movie? Anyway, the mysterious guy camping in the woods is the source for all the background information on who Jason is and why he's killing all these people, and once the bodies start piling up camper dude gets to deliver this information before being s=dispatched himself. Luckily for everyone left alive at this point, the creepy little six year old has grown up watching monster movies, so he knows what to do and how to defeat Jason. There is enough nudity here to shake a stick at (or a boner, whichever you prefer) and there are some sufficiently cool kills, some great gore, a creepy Corey Feldman, a nasty looking Jason, and an exciting chase through a house scene that isn't to be missed. I don't see why fans of the series bitch so much about this movie, I think it's a cool, creepy little romp with a lot of great stuff to offer to fans of the series and newcomers alike. And yes, I intend to watch it with my kids one day (and then come into their rooms when they're asleep wearing a hockey mask...I'm THAT kind of parent).

There is a ton of horrific acting on display here, most of it from the house full of disposable ancient teenagers that serve as fodder for Jason's blade. You'll have no problem cheering on their demises, as you'll probably want them all dead within the first two minutes. The camper dude in the woods is a pretty awful actor as well.

If you're in the mood for a fun slasher with some cool deaths and a fun chase scene that is every horror loving kid's wet dream, then this is the movie for you. Ignore the haters, there's a lot of fun to be had in this movie.
