The Plot Goes To Hell - The Worst Friday
With this being a Friday the 13th movie (I suppose), I really wanted to enjoy it and tried to enjoy it but sorry to say this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

First of all, FOR SHAME on the directer/producers etc for calling this a Friday the 13th movie and puttin Jasons picture on the front of the DVD box. Jason dies 6 or 7 minutes into the movie and we dont see him again untill the final 5 minutes (and I'm not exagerating).

A coroner eats Jasons heart from his dead body and is "possesed" by Jason. He then "passes on" Jasons heart to somebody else and a series of 4 or 5 people end up being "possesed" by Jason. There is NO main character(s) in the movie, the protagonist just keeps getting killed and it jumps to a new one overy 10 minutes or so.

Deffinatly the goriest in the series so far but it's not good gore (ie bloody or creative death scenes, like in previous Friday the 13th movies) it's just disgusting. Gore doesn't bother me or anything but in this movie it served no purpose other than it made me feel sick (in 2 scenes).

I know I'll probably get 0 out of 387 people finding this review helpfull, but I'm just giving my honest opinion. I would recomend any other Friday movie (even parts 5 and 7 which arent great but are far better than "Jason Goes To Hell").

Terrible movie, not even worth watching for the most hardcore of fans. Thank God they made Jason X and Freddy vs Jason, such a great series did not deserve this movie for an ending.

Jason goes to hell and the film also
This film is extremely boring and so is the storyline hardly any Jason and he looks so stupid. When you do see Jason (which is about to 10 to 15 minutes.
The story is you think that Jason is dead (he gets shot to pieces) but his spirit is possessing different people so he can kill.
As I said you hardly see Jason Voorhees in the film.
The bottom line is this don't bother getting this pieces of garbage.

FINALLY IT'S DIFFERENT
The FBI decides that Jason has done enough damage and recruits a female agent (Julie Michaels) to lure him into a trap and kill him. The operation succeeds and Jason dies at the hands of the Task Force back up. Taking his body to a local coroner, (Richard Gant) he becomes entranced by Jason's still beating heart. Biting into it, he allows Jason's soul to enter him. Reporter Robert Campbell, (Steven Culp) catches wind that bounty hunter Crieghton Duke (Steven Williams) believes Jason is still alive, but nobody around town believes it. Robert happens to be friends with Diana Kimble, (Erin Gray) and her daughter Jessica, (Kari Keegan) both of whom are incidentally related to Jason. The coroner, who is possessed by Jason, slaughters a group of teens at Crystal Lake, which draws the attention of local Steven Freeman. (John D. LeMay) Steven catches up with Duke once he hears about the Jason legend, while Jason keeps changing forms and killing off Jessica's friends and family members in an attempt to be reborn in his original form. Learning the secret to defeating him, Steven hooks up with Jessica to defeat the monster and send him back to hell.

The Good News: People can complain about the unoriginal-ness all they want, I still think that this is one of the best entries to date. This film did something new by giving the characters a bit of characterization, something not even remotely attempting in the series. I found this a very nice welcome for once, as it gave me some characters to root for to survive instead of automatically knowing who the survivors were. As many times as I have seen that, it does grow a bit tiresome to see it in every film. I was also very pleased with the high quality gore in the film. This is easily one of the goriest of the sequels, and may even rival the original in the amount of on-screen blood. In terms of killing, we have so many different types that it brings back shades of "Part 3" in the amount of types of weapons used. We have a slashing with a razor, a jaw shoved into a person's face, another one was shoved into a deep fryer and thrown onto a wall of plates, two more are violently head-slammed into each other, a fire stoker is inserted into another's stomach, and the classic throat-slash makes a famed appearance here, with a very famous actor getting the death. It does come pretty fast, so watch out for who gets the throat-slash. The best one here, and is my second all-time favorite kill out of all of the films, is the tent-pole rammed into a person's chest from behind, and then pulled up, splitting the shoulder-up into two pieces. I love this death for the simple fact that it provides the requisite blood and gore for a single film, but that it does come as a total shock. Just the single stab was enough, but then Jason has to joyfully overkill it, literally, by then forcing the pole upwards, splitting the victim into two. The Un-rated version of the film shows it in its entirety and is cut in R-rated form, but this is still a very violent kill. It is something that we have come to expect from a "Friday" film and it thoroughly delivers with that single great kill. The frozen face shatter from "Jason X" is still my all time favorite kill, but this one is next up, followed by the hand-stand stab from "Part 3" and the ax in the face from "Part 1."I also enjoyed the comedy in the film. There were enough great jokes that I did laugh heartily at a few. The coroner scene is pretty funny, and there are a few more good laughs spread throughout, but it wisely drops the jokes once Jason is around. That was a wise choice. Even though the film provides little to no jumps, I'm still not hurt by that, as it never seemed to bother the other films in the series. The one classic jump is where the guy possessed by Jason, and doesn't know it, looks into a mirror and sees his reflection, then turns around for a second, then turns back and is face-to-face with Jason's visage in the mirror. That was a creepy scene when I first saw it.

The Bad News: There were a lot more "opportunities" for jumps, but they were the traditional jumps all the old timers know by heart. A novice might jump at them, but old hats will not. Complain what you want about the plot line, moral, logic, or anything else that a "classic" film has to pick apart, and that is what is present in the film. What really kills the movie is that Jason has really no screen time. There is only two brief scenes with him in it, the rest id all people who have been possessed by Jason. He needed to be in the film more.

The Final Verdict: "Jason Goes to Hell" to be pretty much the guilty pleasure of the series. It may not be liked by all, but I really enjoyed it. It kept my attention for all 90 minutes, which is what a film needs to do to earn my respect. Fans of the series who aren't too picky about the content in the film, go ahead. All others, seek caution.

A GOOD 'END' TO THE SERIES
The friday the 13th films are great, all of them and there are only a couple wich let it down, part 8 and this one!
they have gone for a completly different story in this one making it have nothing to do with the other films, this isn't really a sequel, it is just a film with the same character as another film in it.
Kane Hodder (the best Jason actor) is Jason in this film, not that it matters though as Jason is only in this film for about 20 minuets. I didn't know he could do this but he posesses people in this film making them the killers and about 3 different killers in this film so lots of people get posessed.
The main reason for a Friday the 13th film bieng good is the amount of gore that the film has and this one has plenty of blood, a woman even gets ripped in half and no matter how much i hate the idea of Jason posessing people i love it when a man who was posessed passes Jasons soul into another person and he melts, first his skin comes comes off, (lots of blood is all over the place at this point) then he starts falling to pieces (jaw first) and continues to melt until only bones are left!
nomatter how rediculus the story is in this 'sequel' i will always like it but if it's a good gory slasher your after try Friday the 13th part 3,4,6 and Freddy vs Jason.
