Friday the 13th Part VIII (1989) 6/10

I always remembered Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan as a big pile of crap. It was one of the few Friday's I had seen as child and was not impressed. This time around I feel different...somewhat.

So Jason is awakened at the bottom of camp crystal lake again but this time there's a boat in the lake that's heading out to sea for a senior trip to New York. Now I may be mistaken but isn't one of the most important factors in labeling a body of water a lake that it is a solitary body of water? Otherwise wouldn't it be a river? Anyway Jason goes and kills the kids and chases the survivors into the streets of New York.

Different location, same game. Slaughter aplenty with some very original kills to boot. Who would have thought of killing someone with a steam rock found in a sauna? Jason, that's who. In the end Friday VIII isn't as bad as some claim and ain't that great. Its no part 6 but it isn't a part 5 either.

Nudity - none
Gore - medium
Overall 6/10
