There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
The secret of Jason's evil is revealed. It is up to the last remaining descendant of the Voorhees family to stop Jason before he becomes immortal and unstoppable. This is the final battle to end Jason's reign of terror forever. If part 8 made no sense to you? Part 9 is going to definitely give you a headache i mean 'Jason Goes to Hell' must actually be the dumbest of the series so far since it makes little sense and the storyline is freaking confusing to begin with. This hurt the series so much that it took the next millennium to actually return with Jason X. (0/10)
My second feature on this night of Friday the 13th (May 2016) was this ninth installment, directed by Adam Marcus. It is Kane Hodder's third time playing and doing stunts for the iconic Slasher, and stars Kari Keegan, John D. Lemay, Steven Culp, Steven Williams and others. This chapter is fully packed with Gore, Sex, Fun and Everything a Jason Voorhees Fan Would Love. Spectacular special effects from Masters Robert Kurtzman, Gregory Nicotero and Howard Berger. Without these three guys, we wouldn't have tons of films with remarkable special effects, and this movie is on that list. I respect all of the guys who played Jason, but Kane Hodder will always be the No. 1 Guy for this character. He's the breathing and walking Jason. He was born for the role. A few surprises in this, especially the ending, a real shocker when I saw it the first time. Best ending ever!!!
This movie is the ninth sequel to "Friday the 13th", almost at the end, to our delight. Absolutely predictable, boring and sometimes better than a sleeping pill, it's a movie that I regret not having gone straight to Hell before going through the theaters. I'm being ironic, but the truth is that the movie is so bad that it allows my irony, as well as being not very different from the films that preceded it.
During the 1980s, only two years passed without an entry in the Friday the 13th series. That's eight films in ten years, and while the quality usually betrayed those short production times, they always felt like kin. Spiritual relatives. It took four years for a ninth chapter to see the light of day, plus a switch from Paramount to New Line Cinema, and somewhere along the way there was a great disconnect. A true B-grade picture in every sense, Jason Goes to Hell is the worst Friday yet, and one of the most desperate, flailing, pointless films I've ever seen. Though veteran blade-swinger Kane Hodder has returned to the role, this Jason bears little resemblance to the cool, creepy psycho killer of the earlier films. Inflated and deformed, at this point he's basically a roid-raging leper in a twisted, vaguely-familiar hockey mask, but he's changed in more than just a physical sense. The story revolves around his black heart, literally migrating from host to host to inspire fresh killings after Jason himself is blown to bits in the opening scene. We've swallowed some absurdly stupid plot devices over the course of this franchise, including a similarly lame-brained "fake Jason" angle in 1985's A New Beginning, but this one sets an awful new standard. It plays like cruddy straight-to-video '90s gimmick horror, not the quaintly under-produced slasher material that had typified the series to this point. Needless to say, the acting hasn't improved (somehow, impossibly, it's actually grown much worse) and the production values, which enjoyed a well-deserved bump in Jason Takes Manhattan, are once again cut-rate and pitiful. Not a good look for New Line, proving right out of the gates that they don't understand what they're making and don't honestly care, one way or the other.
