Okay, so put aside all jokes about the fact that it was indeed not the final Jason film(not by a long shot). And also put aside the fact that I am reviewing a film that came out the year I was born, so naturally it lacks in special effects compared to today. That stated, it is in a way the "final Chapter", in that it was the last really good one in the series (Until the remake came out, which was awesome!). Jason dies in this one, and for the films that follow we get zombie, rotting, supernnatural Jason(and one imposter). The film is basically what all the films are; a generic group of sexy teens getting hacked to bits by a lake, but this film introduces a protagonist in young Tommy Jarvis(played by Corey Feldman). He becomes the central figure, sharing some unspoken outcast connection with Jason, and ultimately is Jason's undoing(or so by the title we assume). All in all, its a good 'un, and though some horror buffs will urge you to disregard all of the films after this one, I would urge you to suck them all up and enjoy. Its fun to watch hapless campers chopped up, and I'll watch anything they put out at least once.Read full review
How great is this movie? Ok by normal film standards, not very good. But by 80's horror standard this is a classic! Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman are in it, this installment actually pokes fun at the genre and it has all the cheesetastic horror cliches. Boy drowns at Crystal Lake camp while counselors get it on. Boy's mother gets revenge, even on innocent bystanders. Mother gets killed, boy seeks revenge. He gets killed and then comes back, gets killed again and comes back again. We all know Jason's MO - sharp object, soft teenage flesh. Just like the others, this series should have really stopped at this 4th chapter. Get this one and the first 3, after that just catch them on TNT or AMC, they play them around Halloween time.
I bought this product because I never got a chance to see the slasher films when I was younger. I was prevented from seeing them. Now that I am older I figured that I would just get all the sequels. I was shocked at all the nudity and looking back I am not mad that I did not get to see this film when I was younger. I don't like the nudity in the film. After watching this, I will not be watching this again for a long time because of the rated R scenes.
Friday the 13th part 4 was a great classic horror 5 stars thank you
