Blow mad killer Jason Voorhees to smithereens in the opening sequence of the movie? Sorry, folks, you have to do better than that. Jason's evil spirit finds its way into a series of host bodies, thus continuing the carnage at Crystal Lake, in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Naturally, part 9 is not the final Friday the 13th movie (no big deal: part 4, you'll recall, was titled The Final Chapter). Jason confronts a long-lost sister at the lake, while the usual assortment of naked teens are dispatched. This one tries to vary the formula a bit but ends up with a story line every bit as nonsensical as those that came before. The final sequence tries to put Jason away for keeps and calls upon the demons of hell for support. The last shot is an outrageous joke, which is perhaps what this franchise deserves. --Robert Horton

DVD features
The DVD contains both the R-rated and unrated versions of the picture, plus a commentary track with director Adam Marcus and screenwriter Dean Lorey, during which the two friends chortle frequently about the movie. Among the revelations: series producer Sean S. Cunningham asked them to get rid of Jason's hockey mask once and for all. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews

If Jason was already going, he should have taken all this footage with him.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Adam Marcus, 1993)

It pains me to admit that I didn't realize until about ten minutes into watching this piece of dreck that I'd already seen it. It's downright embarrassing to admit that after I realized this, I did, in fact, watch the remainder of the movie again. Why would I put myself through such horror again? Your guess is as good as mine. But I did. And since I did, I might as well review it. I can sum my review up in three words: "Oh, the humanity." But since three-word reviews are not looked upon kindly by those in the movie-buying community, I will take a few minutes to expand on my reaction.

Plot: after an FBI sting, Jason (Kane Hodder) is finally taken down. Or is he? When he gets to the morgue (in pieces, of course), his heart begins beating again, and he possesses (by means of the movie's best scene, actually) the coroner working on him (Daddy Day Camp's Richard Gant). And thus begins Jason's newest talent-- travelling from body to body in order to get himself into a situation where he can be reborn. (If this sounds familiar, it is--this device was used to much greater effect in the 1998 movie Fallen.) Along the way, of course, are all the old tropes of the Friday the 13th movies that make them such a neocon's dream--if you use drugs or have premarital sex, you die. The difference here is that some of Jason's victims are actually premeditated. Then, of course, there's the big showdown, the two minutes where you get to believe Jason is really dead, and the final scene showing he isn't. (Or, in this case, finally giving the fans the hope that Freddy vs. Jason was actually going to get made, though it took ten years.)

Everyone knows there hasn't been a good Friday the 13th movie since #2. For a while, they just kept getting dumber and dumber, but Jason Goes to Hell was a true nadir; even Jason X wasn't this completely awful. It's useless to go into the technical specs, since this series has set the baseline for bad acting, woeful direction, cinematography that ranges from campy to crappy, and taking itself way, way too seriously. But really, in the age of director's cut DVDs, you'd expect more of everything (no matter how bad it is) from an unrated Friday the 13th movie. It fails as cheesecake, it fails as a gore film, it fails as a horror movie, it just pain fails. *

Not a bad movie
This is by no means a bad friday movie.it has eveyrthing you love about those movies like blood,gore and nudity.you dont see jason alot cause hes inhabiting the bodies of other people but this movie is still good.any friday fan should like this one and the ending is so cool...even if you already know the result.for the price or for any horror/friday fan you should buy this movie its worth it.

If your a Jason fan.....
First off I LOVE THE "FRIDAY THE 13th" FILMS!!, but as a movie fan this is BY FAR the WORST "Friday" film off them all, turning one of the most popular slashers of all time into what looks like one of the "ALIENS" after bursting through a chest and then having him switching from body to body ala "Invasion of the body snatchers" has to be ONE OF THE WORST IDEAS IN MOVIE HISTORY!! About the only thing that was semi enjoyable in the film was the end and I wont spoil it for you guys that havent seen it. I gave it 2 stars, one because the movie is watchable and the other because im a fan of the series. If your a collector of the "Friday" films its a no-brainer to get it to complete your collection. If you're looking for a good horror flick...STAY AAWWAAYYYY!!!
