Review of Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) by Darrel S — 12 Feb 2009
A controversial entry into the series. I remember seeing this one in theaters and thinking it was The Shit (not to be confused with just being plain shit). Seriously though, I think we can all agree that in a movie called "Jason Takes Manhatten", it would be cool if Jason were actually in Manhatten for more than the last third of the movie instead of being stuck on some lame ass cruise ship.
Regardless, Part VIII brought a bigger budget and some much needed enhanced production values. And Kane Hodder gets the chance to better perfect his Jason. I don't hate on this one as much as other fans do.
