Wisely skipping the storyline from the last few films (and that is the
only wise thing this stupid motherfucker does) JASON GOES TO HELL opens
with Jason just chillin' in the woods, hanging out when some chick comes by and
Jason starts chasing her...right into an FBI trap. If, at this point in
the film, you didn't stand up and put your fist straight through your TV
then you're not a true Jason fan.
So there's a trap and they blow up Jason. Literally exploded. His
charred remains are taken to a morgue where the coroner eats Jason's
heart. Grrrrrrr...I can feel my blood pressure rising! So now,
possessed by Jason's "spirit", the coroner goes around killing people in lame
ways. For whatever reason the possessed body gives out quickly so (like in
THE HIDDEN) this slug-like thing changes host bodies throughout the film. That is
until Jason finally regains his body and his niece (say what?) stabs him in the
heart with a magic knife (oh my fucking Satan!!!) and all of the spirits that
are trapped within him (what the fuck?! When did this happen?) are
released and ascend into Heaven (are you fucking kidding me?) while Jason is
pulled down to Hell by big goofy hands and Freddy fucking Krueger (well, there
goes another TV with a fist fucking through it)!?
Fuck this movie. The amount of blasphemy towards the sacred character of
Jason is unacceptable. Also, Jason's head looks like a baked potato.
Do not watch under any circumstances...unless you're at my crib and you want to
watch me punch out two TV's.
Also, while Jason is pulled underground at the end of the movie, the audience
never actually gets to see him in Hell. If the filmmakers were
determined to name this film Jason Goes to Hell, then why didn't they make it a
HELLRAISER
crossover? That could have been dope!

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN (1989)
"Jason Takes Manhattan"...what a stupid fucking title.
In the opening scene, some lovers on a boat are killed in very boring ways near Camp Crystal Lake. For whatever reason, Jason decides to go on a road trip down river on the boat before finally sneaking onto a larger boat that's taking some high schoolers on a field trip to NYC.
So for the next 40 minutes or so, Jason kills the people on the boat in standard fashion (axe, harpoon, strangling, glass, sauna rock, electric guitar, etc.) until finally at the 64-minute mark they finally make it to New York. You would hope at this point the story would pick up, but it doesn't. It's still boring as Jason stalks these nerds around crappy looking alleys, the docks and a rooftop until the big showdown in the sewer where for whatever reason the sewer is flooded nightly with toxic waste!!! What the hell? I'm sure you can guess what happens next...that's right Jason takes one look at that toxic waste and he starts crying like a little bitch. He even begs for his "Mommy!" How embarrassing. Shit like that makes me ashamed to even be a Friday the 13th fan.Fun for a laugh, but definitely not Jason's finest hour.
