You should have asked me when I was ten years old what was good about this movie. I LOVED this movie when I was ten! I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now, looking back, I wonder what I was smoking back then. This movie should be called "Jason takes a Cruise Ship and Some Parts of Canada," because the majority of the movie takes place on a sleazy looking cruise ship that looks about ready to fall apart, and the shots that are supposedly taking place in New York are really filmed in Canada (but they could have been filmed anywhere, since it's only about ten minutes of footage and it's dark, so no one cares). Seriously, who in their right mind would let their kids take a cruise on that skanky looking boat? Furthermore, what kid would WANT to take a cruise on that boat? It looks like it's held together by spit and duct tape. And who would send their niece, who's deathly terrified of the water, to cruise on the ship of death? And again, why would she want to go? Because she wants to be with her friends (while she seems to hate everyone on the boat and they seem to hate her)? It's so dumb. From the opening sequence, when Jason is raised from his watery grave for no particular reason and chooses to tread water for a bit until he hitches a ride on the skank master cruise ship form hell, we know we're in trouble.

There is supposedly some plot happening, as the captain of the ship never believed in his son, and the son has to prove he can sail the ship once Jason does away with the rest of the crew, and the teenage girl who is afraid of water learns her uncle isn't so kind and loving after all because she conveniently remembers some information that she conveniently forgot years before... zzz ...what? What was I saying? To further the hilarity, the characters in this movie make some seriously bone dumb moves. One girl sticks her head out of the bathroom, sees Jason standing in her room, and closes the bathroom door again. Then she waits for a second and opens the door again...because psychotic murderers tend to disappear if you don't look at them. Who let this girl graduate? Students openly snort coke while on board the ship and no one notices them. Virtually two thirds of the people on board the ship (when there's only like, 15 people to begin with) have to die before anyone notices anything wrong. Way to be observant, folks. Once the remaining victims reach "New York" they decide it will be safer to split up (!) and then they encounter some badly acted street thugs who want to rape the girl who's afraid of water, but then Jason kills them and they retreat to the sewer where they are chased by Jason until they escape but no one helps them so they go back to the sewer and they lure Jason down with them...are you still reading this? Why? Have I not convinced you yet that this film is an atrocity that should never be viewed ever by anyone?

Even completists should only buy this movie if they accidentally buy this movie when they purchase the boxed set. Unless you're ten years old, there's nothing here worth seeing.
