Forget that part 8 ever happened. The rest of us have. The filmmakers of this movie definitely have, as they set this movie back in the woods with Jason undead and still kicking, looking none the worse for the wear after pretty much melting at the end of part 8 (oh no, did I ruin that movie for you? Good, now you never have to watch it). Supposedly the government has caught wind of Jason's existence and they want to put a stop to his reign of terror, but 49449430340909243 marksmen shoot Jason and manage to miss the heart (way to hire blind marksmen...that's our government for you) so the rest of the movie features a largely Jason-less plot, as Jason's heart squirms around sans body and makes people eat it (um, ew) thus infecting them with his evil and causing them to do his will. This is another one of those movies that diehard fans of the series tend to hate. The movie doesn't have much of the titular Jason Voorhees stalk and kill action, as Jason's body is destroyed at the beginning of the movie, but there are plenty of bloody, gory deaths in store for viewers.

What is the plot, exactly? Apparently, in the world of this movie, there's an actual myth of the Voorhees family, and only a Voorhees can kill another Voorhees, so I guess it's fortuitous for us that Pamela Voorhees had another kid after Jason, and that kid has to use this particular sword to stab Jason through the heart and kill him, so while other people are roaming around eating Jason's heart and killing for him (with some admittedly cool death scenes, like I said) this other Voorhees kid is going about her life, not knowing soon she'll have to kill Jason. With this magical sword. Mmmhmm. Talk about being out of fucking ideas. Who paid somebody to write this bullshit? Who thought having a narrator wandering around would be a good idea? Did anyone take this project seriously at all? Probably not, and no, I didn't come into this movie expecting it to be great, but it looks like no one even tried to make it watchable, and that pisses me off. If you're going to fail, the least you can do is try, and from the looks of it, they didn't. Skip this movie entirely. Some people like it, but I'm one of the ones who doesn't, and I can't find one thing to recommend here.

Well, ok, there are some cool deaths, and seeing people eating a heart is gross (gross enough to make my mom freak out). Just watch those death scenes elsewhere. I'm sure someone has them up on You Tube. Don't bother with this movie. It's a waste of your time and money. I'm a completist with my movie collections and even I don't have this movie in my collection (and I even own part 8).
