Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter



Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Joseph Zito
1984


The director's last name, though.

This is a bit of a disappointing one for me, despite its lashings of nudity and a speargun groin impalement kill. yaaaaaas!!!!! I feel that Tom Savini was a bit under utilised, and I'm not really a fan of this Jason. Richard Brooker of Part III had more personality to his Jason. I also thought the makeup job on this Jason's face was too far removed from the look in Part III, so it had that extra disconnect.

But let's get back to the positives. It was quite funny. I quite like the somewhat hamfisted (and repeated) foreshadowing of "you're a dead f*ck", the hitchhiker and her little placard, the first couple of kills, Cripsin ****ing Glover and his first set of dance moves. That by itself deserves the tip of a star rating. Kimberly Beck is beautiful. Jason looking at his cloven hand like "What? Damn!"



Wasn't a fan of the ending. But still, fun watch.
