Review of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) by Narwhale73 — 22 May 2022
This should get a 0 because as my 4th grade teacher used to write:Stay on topic. This movie masquerades as a sequel but is entirely irrelevant and quite honestly shouldn't be considered a slasher film. I understand that people were complaining that F13 movies are too samey, but no one (not a single person) asked for the entirely lore of the franchise to be retconned. They wanted a new movie. Not a new genre/series.
However ignoring all of that, it's still a pretty bad movie. Too many potholes, random anime blades, unexplained information and the middle meanders despite being on the shorter size. While the love interest wasn't boring as they usually are in F13 movies, she was annoying. This isn't me just blindly hating the movie however. Its highlights are genuine highlights that are too hard to ignore. It's the first movie with ACTUAL good actors for once. The main character was endearing, the bounty hunter man was a cool guy and the love interest was well acted. The problem is that the writing gave them nothing to work with as their script/concept was pretty dumb. The beginning with the twist before the credits was really cool and I loved the effects. Plus the last 15 minutes were actually a 9/10 movie. Overall, 90% of its faults have to do with the horrendous writing even for an F13 movie. Whoever made/okayed this script/direction should be fired in all honesty. Everything else was pretty good and would've made a legitimately good movie in other circumstances, but the writing/script/concept was ACTUALLY that bad.
