Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A whole high-school senior class is finally graduating, and they're rewarded with a luxury cruise called "Lazarus." At the beginning they are all having fun, including Rennie, who has a serious problem with the water because she almost drowned when she was little. Jason has boarded the ship and starts his killing rampage until only the main characters are left. After that, they decide to look for the killer and kill him. Unfortunately, Jason gets them first. After only a few of them escape and the ship reaches New York, they discover that Jason got there first and is ready to pursue the survivors so he can kill them. Now a young teenage couple must escape or die in the dark waters of New York. Written by manuel15_jesus@hotmail.com |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Kane Hodder says that one of the most fun parts of his tenure as Jason were the scenes in Times Square. He says that spectators were lined up and down the block watching the filming and he didn't want to take off the mask to destroy their illusion of Jason. He said that every once in awhile he'd turn his head and look at them and watch them all go crazy. See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 7 mins) Throughout the film, Jason's skin is grey, slimy and decayed, except for the pinky finger on his left hand, which is completely normal, protruding through his torn glove. This is especially noticeable in the extreme close up of Jason grabbing the railing of Jim's boat near the beginning. See more » |
