A really botched entry in this series
24 April 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Jason is lured out into an open field where the FBI is waiting for him in an ambush, (In all the other movies no one believed Jason was alive, why do they now?) he's then hit with a missile and blow to pieces, about five minutes into the movie. Then after a LENGHTY credits sequence, we find out Jason's body may have been destroyed but his spirit/ soul is still alive and quite angry. He then possesses several people, trying to be reborn by his heretofore unmentioned sister.

Good premise, if not original, but the camera work is sometimes grainy and out of focus, the gore is badly done (all the blood looks like black paint) The music score to this movie is HORRIBLE! It sounds like someone is mashing down all of the major keys on a piano at the same time. The opening title sequence, and its horrendous music score, just seems to go on forever. Unbearable! All of the characters in this movie are obnoxious, so we don't care who is killed. The story is inconsistent with the rest of the films in this series, and it ends up being just a really missed opportunity of sorts. When Jason is reborn at the climax of the film, why is he still rotten and shredded, with bullet holes and machete cuts still in him? Shouldn't he have been good as new, again?

At the climax, giant, floppy muppet hands reach up from the ground and grab Jason and pull him down to Hell; that looks more unintentionally funny than anything.

The unrated version is mediocre at best, the heavily edited "R" rated version will put you to sleep, or annoy you to the point you just cannot watch any more.
