The Plot Goes To Hell - The Worst Friday - By: marky77, 04 Feb 2008
With this being a Friday the 13th movie (I suppose), I really wanted to enjoy it & tried to enjoy it but sorry to say this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

First of all, FOR SHAME on the directer/producers etc for calling this a Friday the 13th movie & puttin Jasons picture on the front of the DVD box. Jason dies 6 or 7 minutes into the movie & we dont see him again untill the final 5 minutes (and I'm not exagerating).

A coroner eats Jasons heart from his dead body & is "possesed" by Jason. He then "passes on" Jasons heart to somebody else & a series of 4 or 5 people end up being "possesed" by Jason. There is NO main character(s)in the movie, the protagonist just keeps getting killed & it jumps to a new one overy 10 minutes or so.

Deffinatly the goriestin the series so far but it's not good gore (ie bloody or creative death scenes, likein previous Friday the 13th movies) it's just disgusting. Gore doesn't bother me or anything butin this movie it served no purpose other than it made me feel sick (in 2 scenes).

I know I'll probably get 0 out of 387 people finding this review helpfull, but I'm just giving my honest opinion. I would recomend any other Friday movie (even parts 5 & 7 which arent great but are far better than "Jason Goes To Hell").

Terrible movie, not even worth watching for the most hardcore of fans. Thank God they made Jason X & Freddy vs Jason, such a great series did not deserve this movie for an ending.

Jason goes to hell and the film also - By: mark, 16 Jun 2007
This film is extremely boring & so is the storyline hardly any Jason & he looks so stupid. When you do see Jason (which is about to 10 to 15 minutes.
The story is you think that Jason is dead (he gets shot to pieces) but his spirit is possessing different people so he can kill.
As I said you hardly see Jason Voorheesin the film.
The bottom line is this don't bother getting this pieces of garbage.

FINALLY IT'S DIFFERENT - By: stuart, 06 Jun 2006
The FBI decides that Jason has done enough damage & recruits a female agent (Julie Michaels) to lure him into a trap & kill him. The operation succeeds & Jason dies at the hands of the Task Force back up. Taking his body to a local coroner, (Richard Gant) he becomes entranced by Jason's still beating heart. Biting into it, he allows Jason's soul to enter him. Reporter Robert Campbell, (Steven Culp) catches wind that bounty hunter Crieghton Duke (Steven Williams) believes Jason is still alive, but nobody around town believes it. Robert happens to be friends with Diana Kimble, (Erin Gray) & her daughter Jessica, (Kari Keegan) both of whom are incidentally related to Jason. The coroner, who is possessed by Jason, slaughters a group of teens at Crystal Lake, which draws the attention of local Steven Freeman. (John D. LeMay) Steven catches up with Duke once he hears about the Jason legend, while Jason keeps changing forms & killing off Jessica's friends & family membersin an attempt to be rebornin his original form. Learning the secret to defeating him, Steven hooks up with Jessica to defeat the monster & send him back to hell.

The Good News: People can complain about the unoriginal-ness all they want, I still think that this is one of the best entries to date. This film did something new by giving the characters a bit of characterization, something not even remotely attemptingin the series. I found this a very nice welcome for once, as it gave me some characters to root for to survive instead of automatically knowing who the survivors were. As many times as I have seen that, it does grow a bit tiresome to see itin every film. I was also very pleased with the high quality gorein the film. This is easily one of the goriest of the sequels, & may even rival the originalin the amount of on-screen blood. In terms of killing, we have so many different types that it brings back shades of "Part 3"in the amount of types of weapons used. We have a slashing with a razor, a jaw shoved into a person's face, another one was shoved into a deep fryer & thrown onto a wall of plates, two more are violently head-slammed into each other, a fire stoker is inserted into another's stomach, & the classic throat-slash makes a famed appearance here, with a very famous actor getting the death. It does come pretty fast, so watch out for who gets the throat-slash. The best one here, & is my second all-time favorite kill out of all of the films, is the tent-pole rammed into a person's chest from behind, & then pulled up, splitting the shoulder-up into two pieces. I love this death for the simple fact that it provides the requisite blood & gore for a single film, but that it does come as a total shock. Just the single stab was enough, but then Jason has to joyfully overkill it, literally, by then forcing the pole upwards, splitting the victim into two. The Un-rated version of the film shows itin its entirety & is cutin R-rated form, but this is still a very violent kill. It is something that we have come to expect from a "Friday" film & it thoroughly delivers with that single great kill. The frozen face shatter from "Jason X" is still my all time favorite kill, but this one is next up, followed by the hand-stand stab from "Part 3" & the axin the face from "Part 1."I also enjoyed the comedyin the film. There were enough great jokes that I did laugh heartily at a few. The coroner scene is pretty funny, & there are a few more good laughs spread throughout, but it wisely drops the jokes once Jason is around. That was a wise choice. Even though the film provides little to no jumps, I'm still not hurt by that, as it never seemed to bother the other filmsin the series. The one classic jump is where the guy possessed by Jason, & doesn't know it, looks into a mirror & sees his reflection, then turns around for a second, then turns back & is face-to-face with Jason's visagein the mirror. That was a creepy scene when I first saw it.

The Bad News: There were a lot more "opportunities" for jumps, but they were the traditional jumps all the old timers know by heart. A novice might jump at them, but old hats will not. Complain what you want about the plot line, moral, logic, or anything else that a "classic" film has to pick apart, & that is what is presentin the film. What really kills the movie is that Jason has really no screen time. There is only two brief scenes with himin it, the rest id all people who have been possessed by Jason. He needed to bein the film more.

The Final Verdict: "Jason Goes to Hell" to be pretty much the guilty pleasure of the series. It may not be liked by all, but I really enjoyed it. It kept my attention for all 90 minutes, which is what a film needs to do to earn my respect. Fans of the series who aren't too picky about the contentin the film, go ahead. All others, seek caution.

A GOOD 'END' TO THE SERIES - By: M. Western, 15 Sep 2005
The friday the 13th films are great, all of them & there are only a couple wich let it down, part 8 & this one!
they have gone for a completly different storyin this one making it have nothing to do with the other films, this isn't really a sequel, it is just a film with the same character as another filmin it.
Kane Hodder (the best Jason actor) is Jasonin this film, not that it matters though as Jason is onlyin this film for about 20 minuets. I didn't know he could do this but he posesses peoplein this film making them the killers & about 3 different killersin this film so lots of people get posessed.
The main reason for a Friday the 13th film bieng good is the amount of gore that the film has & this one has plenty of blood, a woman even gets rippedin half & no matter how much i hate the idea of Jason posessing people i love it when a man who was posessed passes Jasons soul into another person & he melts, first his skin comes comes off, (lots of blood is all over the place at this point) then he starts falling to pieces (jaw first) & continues to melt until only bones are left!
nomatter how rediculus the story isin this 'sequel' i will always like it but if it's a good gory slasher your after try Friday the 13th part 3,4,6 & Freddy vs Jason.
