DEADLY FRIEND (1986)

Neurology and artificial intelligence nerd Paul moves to a new town to attend college.  He brings along his homemade robot BB.  BB seems pretty cool, but he has some deep seeded anger issues.  Paul's thrilled to meet his sexy new neighbor Kristy Swanson, but not so thrilled about her abusive father.  During an innocent Halloween prank they think it'd be funny to ring the doorbell of the cranky old lady across the street.  Bad idea.  As soon as Kristy gets up on the porch the old bat charges outside and kills BB with a shotgun.  A short time later Kristy's dad beats her to death.  I think you can see where this is going.  That's right.  Zombie robot.

You would think that since Paul is a teenager he would turn his new zombie robot girlfriend into a pleasure unit, but he's doesn't even have time for that because as soon as she wakes up she goes on a killing spree.  Including one of the greatest kills in the history big studio movies: the basketball scene.  Holy fuck.  Anybody who saw this movie as a kid knows what an unexpected shocker that was.

As entertainment I liked DEADLY FRIEND.  It seemed like it had its heart in the right place, but at the same time it seemed kinda uneven.  Like it was going in too many directions at once.  Interesting premise for a story, alright acting, nice simple look to it, surprising violence, weak science, zero nudity.  Honestly I wouldn't mind see a remake of the story.  Worth a single watch at least.

JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY (1993)

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!
