Summary: Hey, it's great, gory fun!
Review: Sex/nudity, gore, action. Those elements are what Jason Goes to Hell offers. If you like that stuff, watch this movie immediately. Definitely more comically-oriented than the rest of the series (the new Jason X excepted) this one's loads of fun, with a fast pace to boot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, but don't even bother with the R-Rated cut!
Review: Usually I write long, deatailed reviews, but now I don't have much time. I'm just warning you to not even watch jason Goes To hell R-Rated. Make sure to pick up the Unrated Director's Cut. It's got more sex, nudity, and a LOT more gore! The heart munching scene is longer, the scalpel swiping part is longer, the death of the girl in the tent is a lot more gruesome, and Vicky's death is pure awesome.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jason Goes to Hell:The Final Friday
Review: Yo, people all out there that read this review better buy this movie before you see Jason X. Watch the twist at the end very closely. Here's a hint:A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An underappreciated horror movie!
Review: After being blown to bits by the FBI, Jason Voorhees gains the ability to hop into the bodies of his victims. Only one man knows how to stop this undead zombie.

A lot of people hate this sequel to the long running, "Friday the 13th" movies... I, however, have grown to like this film.

There are people who say that this movie ignores the previous sequel, "Friday the 13th, Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan", but it really doesn't. I think Jason's "melted" appearance and torn-up outfit in this movie was the result of what happened at the conclusion of that previous installment. The make-up on Kane Hodder, the person who plays Jason, is truly excellent.

Besides the make-up, other excellent elements in the movie are the gore effects, and the lighting in the diner scene.

If you plan on getting this movie, I suggest you get the "Unrated Director's Cut"; it's a bit longer than the R-rated cut, and some people who saw both versions say the "Unrated Director's Cut" makes the R-rated cut unwatchable.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: They Stole A Good Idea
Review: I will have to admit, this film is pretty good but they stole their idea. The film "The Hidden" was just like this. Friday The 13TH Part 9: Jason Goes To Hell was a copied movie. The Hidden was a great movie. The Hiddden was made in 1987, Friday The 13th Part 9 was made in 1993 so you can tell the producer of Friday The 13TH stole their great idea. Friday The 13th Part 9 is alike to The Hidden because they have this killer that hops from body to body by spitting a snake alien thing into their mouth and then the one with the snake alien thing is the new killer. ...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 8th sequel has creative storyline
Review: Original director Sean S. Cunningham returns to direct the "last" installment. After being blown to bits by the FBI, Jason Voorhees' remains are sent to the coroner, who for some reason takes a bite out of his heart. The coroner then becomes possessed by Jason's soul; he becomes a killer, and then his victim, and the next, and soon the townspeople don't know who's a killer and who isn't. Despite Pamela Voorhees' claim in the original film that Jason was "her only child", it turns out that Jason has a sister, and Jason-hunting bounty hunter Creighton Duke believes that a Voorhees can only die at the hands of another Voorhees. And so it goes...

An admittedly watchable sequel; I was thrown off by Jason's "death" in the first ten minutes, and then not knowing who was "it" or not. Available in a gorier unrated version, the only "Friday" film released unrated so far. Then again, this is a New Line release, whom are much more generous than Paramount. Despite the second sequel to be tagged as "final", "Jason X" opened in April 2002.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The dumbest in the series
Review: The last (yeah right) installment in the long running Friday the 13th series is undoubtedly the dumbest. It starts of promising (sort of), Jason is blown up to bits in the very beginning, and his soul jumps from person to person. It is followed by what is possibly the series' most graphic sex scene, and then the most goriest death scene. But it all goes downhill from there, the rest of the deaths aren't even put together good, and the final scene is downright laughable (especially the last shot in the film). Jason, however, does look his best (the rare times he is seen), and Kane Hodder is the best Jason in the series, and he looks real cool in this installment. The first few Friday the 13th movies were decent, but after Part 4 they just got silly, avoid this unless you really love the series...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
Review: The Federal Bureau of Investigation sets up a sting operation to, finally, once and for all, kill Serial Killer Jason Voorhees. They blast him to oblivion...Or so they thought.

Somehow, he begins to jump into other people's bodies to find his younger sister, as well as his niece and Grand-Niece. They're his only chance to being re-born, but they are also the only ones who can truly kill him. With the help of a Bounty Hunter and Jason's niece's ex-boyfriend, they must fight to stop Jason. If they win, he will be dead for good. But if he wins, he will gain an Eternal Life.

A lot of people accused this movie of not fitting in with the rest of the series, but I love this movie. It's so different. For starters, the characters. They aren't One-Dimensional. They're smart and actually provide a bit of a challenge for old Jason. Also, the acting is suprisingly good. John D.LeMay is perfect as the geek-turned-hero in this movie, even though he might want to work a bit on his fighting skills(Jason kicked the S***t out of him). Kari Keegan is strong and tough as our Heroine, Steven Williams is exceptionally good as Bounty Hunter Creighton Duke, Veteran actors Billy Green Bush and Erin Gray give good supporting roles, Steven Culp is great at being the one we all want to hate.

My favorite things about this film is Jason and Kane Hodder, the actor behind the mask. Hodder gives his best performance as Jason up to date. He's a bit faster, he grunts, he looks cool and he shows us all he has up his ripped, bloody sleeve. The fight scene was great. In the past, we never saw any guy go one-on-one with Jason. We never saw Jason show off his fighting skills. In this film, we see how good of a fighter Jason can be. Cause he kicks the crap out of Steven.

Also, it's scarier. Now, you don't really know who or where Jason is at all. This is the difference between the true end of Jason Voorhees and the possibility of Jason gaining eternity.

Not as good as Pts.1 and 7, but it's better than the other entries.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Probably my favorite of the series.
Review: The latest entry in this slasher series features Jason body-hopping Hidden-style while searching for his sister. The only non-Paramount produced film in this series, it's simply a lot of fun, featuring lots of action (A dozen shots and Jason still won't go down), gore, and even decent performances. The big difference in tone and plot to its predecessors hasn't been popular with series fans, but this is a fast-paced, funny, and exciting ride. Also has by far the series' most graphic sex scene, which is immediately followed by the series' goriest death scene.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, the best one yet
Review: If you can get past the fact that this movie invents a new storyline totally different than the rest of the series, I think you will enjoy it for what it is, a great horror film. After watching it 3 or 4 times it's grown on me, and I like it much more now than when I first saw it. It's better written than the other ones, and has some amazing gore effects and action sequences on par with the Terminator. The major difference in this one is Jason's spirit can jump into other bodies, and so he can live on even if he is destroyed. The other new realization is that Jason's demonic spirit can only be sent to Hell by someone within his bloodline. You will have to see for yourself how it all turns out. Gore hounds should love this flick as there is lots of bloody mayhem including one of the sickest most graphic autopsy scenes ever, people get mutilated, run over, shot to pieces, stabbed, impaled, smashed in the face and submerged in hot grease- one guy is shot in the head and his brain is splattered all over the wall, a head is crushed and blood/brains squirt out the top of their skull like a geyser, a girl gets ripped in half with a metal stake in graphic blood spraying detail, a body explodes and it's pieces rain from the sky, a police officer melts and turns into a rotten pile of pus, goo, and slime plus TONS of other gore and sickness. Many gallons of blood were spent on this sick flick. Check it out, you won't be dissapointed!
