How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A relentless slasher that escalates the series into supernatural territory, transforming Jason from a masked killer into an unstoppable shape-shifting entity. The body horror and psychological violation of the possession mechanic makes this feel more disturbing than straightforward stalking horror.

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy!

30 years ago, I saw <I>Jason Goes to Hell</I> in the theaters. While not the best in the franchise (it sits at #8 in <A HREF="https://boxd.it/cZOl0">my Ranked list</A>), there is something special about seeing the film not only in the theater (again) but with both the <A HREF="https://popcornfrights.com">Popcorn Frights</A> crew <b>and</b> the unrated cut. Oh, and <b>Adam Marcus </B>, director of the film, sent over a customized welcome video, introducing the film to us. Well done, <A HREF="https://popcornfrights.com">Popcorn Frights</A>!

I can understand why this film gets a lot of slack from haters (Jason's appearance, it's not the final <I>Friday the 13th</I> film, the demon) and love from the fanatics (great kills, nudity). I mean, we do get to see Jason go to hell after all, so I hope both sides are happy with this.

After all of this time, and thanks to Popcorn Frights' Marc Ferman's speech prior to the screening, I may have a new soft spot in my heart for the film. It'll remain at it's current spot (#8), but I can't wait to revisit it again.

There are a number of great kills (by Jason as an occupant in the body of others), but the film quickly falls apart very fast through some bad acting and dialog. Still, a worthy addition to the franchise.
