Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Smoreni Zmaj In the previous, the eighth film of the "Friday the 13th" franchise, they finally departed from a long-ago shabby template and created something new, but in this desperate attempt to save the franchise they went too far and made a movie so unconvincing that it's even duller than its predecessors. In the ninth, "Jason Goes to Hell", they managed to find the right balance. The story returns to the Crystal Lake, but instead of the continuous streaming of pointless massacre that does not lead anywhere, this time the film actually has a complete meaningful plot. There is a prologue, there are an introduction and familiarization with the characters (the previous films completely left out the characterization, because characters were mostly dying after only a few minutes on the screen), complication, culmination, dissolution and epilogue. Although the story is fairly straightforward and linear, this movie has many elements of a thriller, and Jason is becoming a much more complex supernatural being than the gigantic zombie we are used to, which makes "The Final Friday" much more interesting than the empty slashers that precede it. There's, unfortunately, less nudity than before, although the girls are top-class, the killings are more in the style of action movies than horror, and the film introduces some new interesting details. The movie somewhat reminded me of the series "Supernatural", mostly because of Jason's demonic nature, magic dagger, blood magic, and for a brief moment you will also see the legendary "Necronomicon". They have gone so far as to depart from the template that they even gave the movie kind of happy-end, although, of course, in the last scene, they left the door ajar for a possible sequel. This made me confused a little, because the next film is "Jason X", not "Freddy vs Jason". Well, I guess it will clear up to me tomorrow. The strongest impression on me has left the prologue, the scene before the opening credits, partly because of well-made unexpected twist and partly because of the beautiful nudity of Julie Michaels.6,5/10
falseprophet616 So I rewatched the uncut version of this as a comedy and actually had a good time, pretty funny, and form-wise it isn't as bad as I initially thought.The uncut version is actually worth tracking down imo. There hasn't been an uncut BR release yet, so you'll only be able to find it on DVD or some streaming platforms. The runtimes are listed on imdb for those interested in doing so. There's also a helpful movie-censorship dot com comparison.Perhaps much of my dismay to it on first-watch, was the fact that I had just watched Part VIII, so getting another turd would have been frustrating after the abomination of Jason Takes Manhattan.The Crystal Lake Memories docu gave it some more context too.Anyway, this is definitely a guilty pleasure/good-bad for me now.
ivo-cobra8 *MAJOR SPOILERS*"Before you read my review there will be lot of hate for this movie and if you are a fan of Friday the 13th films like me avoid my review at all cost because it is not likable you've been warned." What the hell is this movie? This is not a Jason movie it is simply the worst film ever! This is not Friday the 13th movie the rights was held with New Line Cinema and they come up with this? I thought would be fun boy was I wrong! Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence come out the same year and it was more entertaining then this peace as a sh*** pure garbage STINKER! Who made this movie is really retarded and dumb I don't respect him. Trough whole movie there was no Jason in it. This just isn't a good movie I mean wtf?!Suddenly Jason has a sister we never knew about now he has a niece and Jason's heart keeps popping out when FBI blow's him to pices and then he keeps shape shifting from a body to a body really stupid. The actors are terrible this movie sucks and it is the worst Friday the 13th movie ever I wish I wouldn't had that movie in my collection I really wish that. This movie is wooden terrible, none of the characters are likable I just don't care if Steven Williams is in this movie I just don't. New Line Cinema fu**** up this movie Jay Huguely, Adam Marcus and Dean Lorey really screw up and that a lot so no I dislike this movie more then I do part 3 and 5 those two movies weren't that horrible awful! I just realized something this movie stole and copied the idea from The Hidden (1987) about the host changing bodies that's what this movie did. It stole the vision of the director Jack Sholder and I have no respect for this movie! The Biggest waste of time ever. No Jason. Concept is stupid and every scene after another is pointless this movie is stupid! This movie f***** sucks!!! This move lacked I mean what gory? I don't care about the kill scenes I don't care about this goddamn movie why was I so stupid to purchase this peace a sh** movie in my Blu-ray collection I am so disappointed. And I thought Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D and Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning are bad, boy was I wrong this movie is horrible I will never watch it again. I want I don't care about this movie. If people are buying and love this movie good for them I just don't understand. Why does another Voorhees has to stab with the dagger Jason's heart to put Jason back in hell? Tommy chained him in part VI: Jason Lives I think that movie should have end the franchise in my opinion.It started well in Crystal Lake and we see a great babe Julie Michaels as getting naked Agent Elizabeth Marcus that was undercover to lure Jason out that was great scene and when FBI blowed him away to pices that was great but then it turned out in to an ugly peace a sh** mess. My opinion is I don't like this movie I regret to have it on the Blu-ray disc and I will never watch this movie again. It is a waste of time at least I really hoped this movie will be good like A Nightmare on Elm Street or Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence but no this movie failed flat. You know Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare come out in 91 and it was way better movie then this and a lot of people dislike Freddy's Dead I don't and I never will. This movie can kiss my ass f*** this movie! Score: F**k You 1/10 I am avoiding this film at any cost from now on like a plague!
Jackson Booth-Millard The previous eight Friday the 13th films all came one after the other in the 1980s, with mixed results, this ninth entry was billed as being the final film in the series, but you can't keep a good psycho killer down. Basically sometime after the events in Manhattan, the undead serial killer Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is back at Camp Crystal Lake, he is lured into a trap by undercover FBI Agent Elizabeth Marcus (Julie Michaels), several armed men blow him to pieces, his body is destroyed and his remains taken to the Federal Morgue in Youngstown, Ohio for autopsy. Jason's putrid heart remains intact, the Coroner (Bean's Richard Gant) is fascinated by the remains, then Jason's heart starts beating, igniting a transfer of Jason's surviving soul, the coroner is possessed by Jason's demonic spirit after ingesting his heart, in the coroner's body Jason (who only shows in a mirror reflection) escapes, killing all in his path. Jason returns to Crystal Lake, where he finds and kills partying teens having sex, he also attacks two police officers, killing one and possessing the other, it is revealed later that Jason must continue transporting into other bodies, as he has a limited time to use each. Meanwhile bounty hunter Creighton Duke (Steven Williams) discovers that Jason can only be killed permanently by a member of his bloodline, and that he will return to his normal and near-invincible state if he possesses the body of a family member, his only living relatives are his half-sister Diana Kimble (Erin Gray), her daughter Jessica (Kari Keegan), and Stephanie, the infant daughter of Jessica, and Jessica's infant daughter Stephanie (Brooke Scher), Steven Freeman (John D. LeMay) is the father. Jason makes his way to Diana's house, she is killed, but he escapes when attacked by Steven, who is falsely arrested for murder, he meets Duke who explains Jessica's relation to Jason, Steven escapes from jail determined to get to her before Jason does. Jessica is dating American Case files reporter Robert Campbell (Steven Culp), he wants to boost ratings for his show, emphasising the return of Jason Voorhees from the dead, having stolen Diana's body from the morgue, Robert is next to have Jason's heart transferred. Jason attempts to reborn through Jessica, but is disrupted by Steven who takes her and hits him with his car, Steven tries to explain the situation to Jessica, but she doesn't believe him, throwing him out of the car and heading to the police station. Jason arrives at the police station, killing most of the officers, he nearly possesses Jessica before being stopped by Steven, she now believes him, in the chaos Duke makes his escape, Jessica and Steven go to a cafe to collect the baby, Jason is attacked by the owners before he kills them, Jessica and Steven find a note from Duke, he has the baby and demands Jessica meet him alone at the Voorhees house. At the house Duke gives Jessica a mystical dagger that she can permanently kill Jason with, meanwhile Jason transfers from Robert's body into a police officer. Duke falls through the floor, Sheriff Ed Landis (Billy Green Bush) and Officer Randy Parker (Kipp Marcus) confront Jessica, she accidentally kills Landis dropping the dagger, Randy is possessed by Jason, who attempts to reborn through Stephanie, but Steven arrives and severs his neck with a machete. Jason's heart, which has grown into a demonic infant, crawls out of Randy's neck, goes to the basement, and crawls into Diana's dead body, Duke is pulled out of the basement by Jessica and Steven as Jason is reborn into his original body (he does not need an actual living member of his family). Steven and Jessica try to retrieve the dagger, while Duke distracts Jason, he is killed, the dagger is found and Jason is stabbed in the chest, the souls Jason collected over time are released, and Jason is pulled into the depths of Hell by demonic hands, Steven and Jessica walk off with their baby into the sunset. Also starring Kane Hodder as a Security Guard, and a cameo by Freddy Krueger's arm (the ambiguous ending that lead to Freddy vs. Jason, ten years later), Rusty Schwimmer as Joey B., Leslie Jordan as Shelby, Andrew Bloch as Josh, Adam Cranner as Ward, Allison Smith as Vicki and James Gleason as Agent Abernathy. Unlike the previous films this entry does continue directly after the previous film, so Jason is essentially back from the dead with no explanation, and the same thing happened when he returned eight years later in tenth entry Jason X, critics praise the clever body- swapping concept to keep the crazed killer alive, I personally found it a bit out of place for the series, the gore was fairly good though, in my opinion it's an alright horror. Okay!
