Friday the 13th - Part 4: The Final Chapter

Pros: Good performance from Corey Feldman, great Tom Savini gore, and some solid direction make this one of the best entries in the series.
Cons: Most of the cast is weak, the plotline is looking a bit threadbare at this point.

Rating: USA: R/ UK: 18/ Australia: R

Last time we checked in on slasher icon Jason Voorhees, he’d just finished hacking up some kids staying at an old farmhouse near the...

Pros: Lots of great kills and action
Cons: The occasional logic flaw to the script.

Holy smokes - a GOOD Friday the 13th movie! No - seriously. Helmed by Canon Films' veteran director of action Joseph Zito - the man who gave us Missing in Action and Invasion USA, two of the best eighties shoot-em-ups of the decade - ...

Pros: Some cool scares, gore, interesting camera work, a good sequel (isn’t it rare?)
Cons: Wooden performances, characters are stupid

Good sequels are hard to come by. Sure, Halloween 2 was good as well as Aliens, but when it comes to Friday The 13th sequels, they are the lamest and most uninspiring out of everything. One of the best movies of the whole series is ...

Pros: It's one of the best in the franchise.
Cons: Last entry in the series that has us afraid instead of cheering Jason on.

The Crystal Lake killer, known infamously as Jason Voorhees, has been around for 30 (and still counting) years! Man, who knew a mama's boy wearing a hockey mask, killing horny teenagers at a camp would last this long. Well, it has & the franchise ...

Pros: see below
Cons: see below

"God, I'm horny."That line is the key to Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, since this is the first entry in the series where it looks like the characters are getting killed because of their obsession with sex. In Part 3, ...

Pros: Music
Cons: Utterly boring

I don't know about you, but to me a title like "The Final Chapter" suggests this is going to be the last movie in the series. And if I'm being honest about it, stopping the series here could have been a brilliant idea - this chapter itself even seems ...

Pros: Pure slasher movie goodness in every department, an all-around epic feel.
Cons: Most of the supporting characters are quite annoying.

The Friday The 13th series took the popular slasher sub-genre by storm in the early 1980s, with the infamous original film with it's gloriously gruesome death scenes and shocking ending, and it's two sequels featured Jason Voorhees, the seemingly ...

Pros: good suspense, good acting, good direction
Cons: the plot could have been better

I rented the fourth installment of the Friday the 13th series because I have seen every one before this. This one is known as one of the better movies of the series and I would have to agree. Plot At the end of part three Jason got an axe to ...

Pros: The best of the series
Cons: Suffers from many of the same problems as the other sequels in the franchise

THE (burial) PLOT After (apparently) meeting his demise via an ax to the forehead, hockey masked mad slasher Jason Voorhees is bagged up and taken to the local morgue. Too bad he's not dead yet. After hacking his way out of the building, he makes ...

Pros: Inventive killings!
Cons: Insultingly similar to previous outings.

The Final Chapter is among the best of the Friday movies which is, sadly, not saying much.
When the scariest thing about a horror movie is a teenager's bad disco dancing then you know that something is amiss.

There's a pervading feeling...

Pros: Great gore, some suspense, Great make up effects, Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover
Cons: Not much that i can think of besides from some unexplainable parts.

Well here comes my second review! Hot on the heels after my debut with Jason Lives, comes this sophomore review on my second favorite of the Friday the 13th series.

It all starts the night after the gruesome events of Friday the 13th part 3D,...

Pros: Beck and Feldman, better-than-average supporting cast
Cons: another by-the-numbers slasher pic

The producers of the "Friday The 13th" franchise were obviously hoping to cash in on the box-office success of the first three installments of the slasher series when they filmed "Part 4: The Final Chapter" in 1984. Don't let the...

Pros: Excellent F/X; decent acting; really good ending
Cons: Plot is obviously recycled from earlier entries

In the mid to late 80s', we horror fans saw the birth of a
new type of pornographic film: the splatter flick. While
pornos had a payoff in the form of graphic sex and "money
shots", splatter flicks had their foreplay in the form of
...

Pros: Lots of Tits and gore. Plus great acting.
Cons: I can't really think of any.

I own this movie on VHS because I got it for 99 cents at a "flea market". I love this movie because of all the gore, and T&A, there is also great acting, but the thing that got to me was the fact that Jason looked different in this one. Mainly because ...

Pros: You are praying that Jason doesn't tare your door down.
Cons: none.

Friday the 13th Part4 is the best of the Friday the 13th movies by far every time it comes on cable I try to watch it. The most impressive things about the movie include a really cool kid played by Corey Feldman in this movie Feldman plays a fairly...
