Review of Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) by Chris G — 13 Feb 2009
The title says it all. You know how bad this movie is going to be just from the title. But the title is a lie. A damn lie. A good portion of this film takes place on the Love Boat. Yes, the Love Boat. Jason kills some people until the ship sinks. He then swims to New York (actually Toronto) and starts slicing and dicing more teens, which begs the question that if he could swim that good in the first place none of these films would have happened.
Jason takes Manhattan is a ridiculous premise with a ridiculous script, ridiculous acting, and probably one of the worst endings ever. It's no wonder that Paramount sold the series out after this one. It sucks.
