Summary: Can Jason Take this Movie with Him, Too??
Review: Oh boy. I have no idea what the makers of this Jason flick were thinking when they wrote this stinker. You know, there are certain things you have to put aside when you view a Jason movie. I know this, and most of all, the fans know this. You have to forget about great acting, the brilliant storyline and so on. That's all fine with me. When I see a Jason flick, I only want to be entertained. I want to see Jason keeping the body-count rising and rising.

But "Jason Goes to Hell" is a complete embarrassment. It is almost impossible to watch. Is it because of the gore? Well, there's a lot of it, but no. Gore is what I expect. Is it because it's scary? Most certainly not. Nothing very scary about this movie. So why is it almost impossible to watch?

It was terribly written. That's right. Of course I'm not expecting Arthur Miller when I watch a "Friday the 13th" movie, but I expect the story to be somewhat bearable. Supposedly Jason has the ability to transport from different bodies. Once he's done with one, his spirit invades another. He must do this until he can find a blood-relative of some sort to be "re-born." What does this mean? Means that you hardly see the hockey-masked killer until the last half of the movie. And even then it's not that great. While there's some cool death scenes and extremely gory scenes, this movie ends up being a dud. Actually, calling it a "dud" is being too polite.

It's simple. All they needed to do was have some kind of minor story going on that would lead to Jason coming back from the grave and unleashing his bloody revenge upon carefree teens who think Crystal Lake is a safe place to venture. See, very simple. But no, they had to create an outrageous story that really kind of takes the focus away from Jason himself. The movie doesn't even pick up where the last one ended. That already was a clue that the writers had no idea what to do with the movie.

The DVD is very cool... too bad the movie isn't. You can watch the Rated-R version or the unrated one. There's commentary, "Jump to a Death" feature, alternate scenes and more. I didn't really pay too much attention to the extras, being that I didn't like the movie.

"Jason Goes to Hell" is a sorry excuse for a Jason movie. My advice is to skip it, but if you've seen the rest then you might as well see it so you can say that you have indeed viewed it. Lame story, bad plot, terrible premise, these are only a few of the things that make this movie a stinker. Could've been so much more, I'm sorry to say. The previous Jason flicks are MUCH better than this. Watch at your own risk...

Summary: Jason has Vocal Chords??
Review: Although this Friday the 13th movie was different than the others, it was by NO means either original or captivating. The idea of evil taking the forms of different bodies is old. Actually, I thought they stole this idea from Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Also, if you notice closely in the movie, one of the characters opens up 'the book of the dead'. Yes, the book of the dead that is in the Evil Dead movie series. Obviously, the directors wanted to add something eye catching. The only thing eye catching in this movie are the death scenes and the gore. I give those scenes a 4 out of 5.
But what really drags the movie down is the plot and acting. I think this is the worst acting of any horror movie I've seen in a while. You know that acting that's so stupid it's funny? Well, this movie didn't have that. The basic plot of the movie goes like this. The movie opens up with a girl going to Crystal Lake and staying in a lodge by herself. The girl takes a shower to realize that, not surprisingly, that Jason is hunting her down. Jason chases the girl out of the cabin and into the woods only to be caught in a trap. The girl is working undercover and a SWAT team surprises Jason by blowing him to bits (which is pretty cool.) Later, Jason's body parts are sent to the morgue where they are examined. Note: This is the last that you'll see of Jason till the end of the film. Meanwhile, while the coroner is examining the body a part, he notices Jason's heart hasn't stopped beating. The heart has some kind of evil influence on the coroner and he eats it. (Don't really know why). So, anyway, Jason's evil 'soul' has entered the coroner and he is now possessed! Wow! So, the whole movie goes along like this with Jason's soul occupying different bodies. We finally see the real Jason at the films conclusion. The movie brings up the point that the only way Jason can be killed is by his own kin. And, if that isn't weird enough for you, he has to be stabbed in the heart by a 'special' dagger. The guy that knows all this is a black cowboy, who sticks out like a sore thumb in this movie. How he knows all this, I don't know. I won't spoil the ending and tell you if Jason is killed or not, but I'll give you a hint: does he really ever die??
In the Unrated version, the movie drags on and is really slow. The cut out gore scenes are cool if you like that sort of thing. But other than that, you can tell why they cut so much of this movie. It's also way too predictable. Kane Hodder plays Jason and does a good job in all of Jason's 15 minute appearance. But that's about all that's going for this movie.
This plot seems like it came out of no where. The acting is terrible but what can you expect. All in all, if you're looking for a regular entertaining Jason flick, this isn't it. This movie strays from the rest and in my opinion, doesn't stay true to the series. How in the heck can something occupy another body? And I don't even know what the snake looking thing is nor has anything to do with the movie. I guess it's Jason's 'physical' soul. Another weird thing is how when Jason is in these bodies, supposedly he can speak. That's funny, considering Jason has never even mumbled a word in any of these movies!! HA a laughing joke. Some weird factoids in a weird movie. Definitely pass this one up. Rent it at most.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: JASON GOES TO HELL DVD Review!
Review: While the movie itself is the kind you either like or you don't. I know many people really hated it but if you are the type who enjoyed it, this DVD has plenty of features you will probably enjoy. Most noteably is the inclusion of the scenes that were included in the TV version as well as an audio commentary by the film's director. You get both the R-Rated version as well as the unrated version included too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: a poor attempt to end the series
Review: Ok, I'll admit; I liked the ending of Jason goes to hell. The idea of Freddy's hand pulling down Jason's mask was great but that was the only good part about the movie. Again, as I said in my review of Part 5; Even though Jason was practically not in this movie that isn't the reason I'm trashing it. The plot itself was ridiculous and it took eight sequels to decide that only a relative of Jason can kill him by stabbing a "selected" knife through Jason's heart. Come on, even I could have come up with something better than that. Like Part 5 & 7, this is a real stinker. Fortunately, this movie did not end the series.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Review of the final Jason film
Review: For the second time, Jason is supposed to die for good. Who are they fooling? Anyways, Friday the 13th fans probably won't like this ninth entry as original producer, Sean Cunningham decided that he didn't agree with the concept of a hockey mask for Jason (if only that wasn't the most popular image of the last 7 films) so instead we have a ridicilous tale about Jason being some time of body-snatcher.

While this movie is full of gore and has some entertaining moments, this script would have worked better as its own film rather than just taking a dump on a popular horror franchise. While billed as the final entry, Jason returns in outer space for JASON X and takes on Freddy Krueger in FREDDY VS. JASON.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: BEST ONE
Review: This chapter features Jason in a short role but a coroner,cop,and newsman are the killers taking over Jason.it starts when Jason is blown to pieces by the SWAT and FBI,so when a coroner eats Jason's heart,the coroner starts Jason's usual murders,then the coroner puts a worm of Jason in people.this one has some extreme deaths like cuts a woman in half is explicit in Unrated version,and a woman has her head squeezed explicit in Unrated version.AWESOME MOVIE.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT BETTER THAN 8, BUT BETTER THAN 1, 2, 4, 5, AND 7
Review: IN THIS ONE, JASON IS BLOWN TO BITS BY A SWAT TEAM, AND EVERYONE ASSUMES HE'S FINALLY DEAD, UNTIL HIS SPIRIT TAKES OVER SEVERAL PEOPLE'S BODIES. ONE THING THAT THIS ONE FORGOT TO EXPLAIN IS HOW JASON CAME BACK TO LIFE, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS ONE IS OK AND IT HAS ARGUABLY THE BEST CAST IN THE WHOLE SERIES. ALTHOUGH THIS ONE AIN'T BETTER THAN 8 OR 6 OR 3, THIS ONE IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONES I DIDN'T JUST SAY. AGAIN, THE TITLE SAYS ''JASON GOES TO HELL; THE FINAL FRIDAY'', BUT, JUST LIKE THEY DID ONCE BEFORE, IT'S NOT REALLY THE END. JASON WOULD GO ON TO COME BACK AGAIN IN ''JASON X'', AND HE IS SLATED TO COME BACK AGAIN IN ''FREDDY VS. JASON''.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really pretty good
Review: People say that this movie is horrible because Jason (played by Kane Hodder) isn't in most of the movie. Well, he is in a way. Don't let biased people change your mind about seeing this movie. It's inventive original (for a Friday the 13th movie), and actually pretty good. It may well be the best entry in the F13 series.

Rating: 5 stars
