As randy teens ar...( read more  read more... )e slain one by one, Tommy (Corey Feldman) comes up with a plan to distract the killer. Makeup master Tom Savini provides much of the gore, and actor Crispin Glover turns in an unusual performance as a stud in training.

    Stupid ending and bad acting, its much like the first three films, at least Savini is back!. You either love it or hate it really. Corey Feldman & Crispin Glover were good though, it?s worth watching for Glover's dance alone!

    Not the final chapter at all but a decent 4th outing for the franchise. Jason is back and certainly the Jason that is well known today. This entry sees two great performances from cult favourites Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman. Glover shows off some wicked dance movements and F...( read more)eldman is very believable in a very stupid film. The stupidity becomes hilarious with some things happening for no reason, such as a dog jumping out of a window. Some things are just left unresolved, such as the fate of the mother. While some things just baffle the mind, with the main character deciding to stay in the house with the killer and smash her way out of a window, rather than step over the body on the doorstep. Killings and gore galore courtesy of Tom Savini and we almost get a chance to know these characters. Like part 3 the constant "fake out" jump scenes just start to piss you off.

    not bad! but not great. Its much better than the first three but it does have a leval of stupid.

    Jason is back! And he's killing even more teenagers, mothers, and dogs lakeside. But Mouth is ready to kick his ass. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is far from the final chapter and actually ends the run of good Friday the 13th films (with the exception of 6). This is an end ...( read more)to an era right here as Jason goes from being a pissed off retard in the woods to zombie on steroids.

    Picking up hours after part 3, Jason, assumed dead, is taken to the county morgue where he wakes up in a none too happy mood. He slices and dices his way back to Crystal Lake only to find...MORE people! Great kills by Savini and actually suspensful. Best kill: Jimmy (Glover) gets...( read more) it in the hand with a corkscrew and the face with a cleaver.

    Corey feldman in his prime
  • November 21, 2009
    A definite increase in story and characterization from the previous film. Jason continues his lust for killing in a number of torturous ways, a lot of them being quite creative. It's an extremely fun movie and one of the best in the series. It is perhaps the last of the series th...( read more)at should be taken seriously.
