Critique: Good now nail hell shut and lets have done with the boy. He's a no-goodnik. This Film went to great expense on a very flimsy premise. Jason can switch bodies. No. Jason is six foot eight and weighs at least two forty. Lots of Jaws quotes, centering around captain Creighton playing the bounty hunter role of captain Quint. d . The book of he dead from Evil Dead II How is Creighton the omnipotent Pope of Jasonism? We don't like the idea of changing the rules after 8 movies. Jason as a five seven cop. Not. Nonetheless, there's no hating Jason and this appearance is no exception. The fat restaurant meatloaf guy getting his hand broken is a spectacular effect. Is it too much to ask that Jason just have his regular old outfit? In addition to all this, this film also failed to produce a protagonist interesting to the viewer. How do you screw up a sure thing like Jason? The sloggy tongue being pushed down people's throat just doesn't do it. The opening scene would have been just fine as a closer. This film continues in the tradition some nice special effects Jason's re-animation is memorable. Bring back Mrs. Voorhees! and let Baby Huey rest for a few years. We know he's not really in hell, or not for good anyway. Think we're stupid?
Plot Summary: A car passes the sign 4 miles to Crystal Lake and a young woman enters one of the unlucky cabins. While she fixes a lightbulb a door slams shocking her and knocking out the lights, she bathes and when the lights fail again she gets out of the tub, and suddenly Jason and his machete cut her bath short. Chasing Agent Marcus through the wood Jason is ambushed by a swat team and blown to pieces. Youngstown, Ohio Federal Morgue, a top secret team of coroner's examines Jason's remains cleverly stores the parts together. Large Male Caucasian 240 pounds burnt to a crisp with well over 100 bullet wounds. "In my professional opinion, this guy's deader than shit strike that last comment from the record." The heart is filled with a black viscous fluid..not blood. The forensicist is surprised to see the heart begin to beat. He then proceeds to bite into the heart and the effects are not pleasant. The doc has taken on that Jason stride. Jason Voorhees born of Elias and Pamela Voorhees born 1946 suspected of 86 murders. The bounty hunter claims that Jason just uses a body and can live in another. Creighton Duke comes by agent Dina's place of business (waitress), claiming Jason is coming for her. A friend of Dina's drives off toward camp Crystal lake, and picks up some kids who are out to engage in some skinny dipping, premarital sex, and slaughter. Dina's friend doesn't join them. Good thing. Jason gets to work on some more town members. Jason has set up a cop for a special session. Apparently Jason has taken to leaping from body to body. Y has been blamed for her death. Jessica, Diana's daughter, Creighton comes by and after a few broken fingers, he tells Y that only a Voorhees can kill him or make him reborn. Y escapes , bums a car from a friend, and investigates the Voorhees house where he finds the book of the dead. An Agent Robert, producing Twisted secrets of the Vorhees house, steals the body and fucks the daughter, when the Jason in cop's clothing breaks in and kills him, tongues him and takes his body. Y kidnaps baby mother and saves her from new Jason. At Johnny B's restaurant yuppy arrives and kills everyone in his search for mother and child. x finds a note from Creighton Duke instructing him to come to the Voorhees house alone to get her baby. Creighton has shown up and wants to kill Jason. He tosses Jessica excaliber, the knife taking on an eldritch glow. The climax comes at the Voorhees homestead. Who's Jason now? Soon Jason's lizard like soul it heads into Dina and we seem to have gotten Jason's good ole six eight frame back.
