THE FINAL CHAPTER
(Joseph Zito, 1984)
after being mortally wounded and taken to the morgue,
Jason Voorhees is resurrected and embarks on a killing spree
as he makes his way home to Crystal Lake
Crispin Glover is in this movie, the year before he was George McFly. his character's name is Jimmy. at the beginning, Jimmy and his friends are in the car on their way to the lake house. Jimmy's trying to figure out why his girlfriend dumped him. his friend Ted says maybe it's bc he's 'a dead f***,' a lousy lay, etc.. but what does Ted know?
Conclusion: it's got fun effects, jokes, George McFly, buck naked girls, and it's fun to review. that doesn't necessarily add up to a masterpiece slash flick, but it's at least a fun one to watch.

Rating: + 6.5 / 10
you don't really get to see much of Jason until the end. the earlier kill scenes are fast and you don't really get a good look at the killer. maybe they were going for a 'show less of the killer' thing. which i always thought of as a technique for when the killer is a mystery. that's obviously not the case here, we all know it's Jason Voorhees. so we're spending most of the time with the characters. with Jimmy and Ted and the girls they're with. we also get to hang out with Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman), who seems to be really talented at making halloween masks

WARNING: "the Final Chapter" spoilers below
there are several memorable kills. one of the better ones is when Jason takes down Crispin Glover, the apparent dead f***, fresh off his first successful lay. he goes downstairs to get his girl a bottle of whine, but then gets stabbed with the corkscrew and gets a knife to the face. well damm, Jimmy woulda been better off as a dead f****. the banana girl one is pretty good, as are a few of the axe kills. but none of them are better than when little Tommy disguises himself as young Jason Voorhees, then kills Jason with his machéte.
the Winner is Tommy Jarvis
the Winner is Tommy Jarvis
