Don't listen to the negative reviews

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

'Friday the 13th' may have been panned by critics when first released but since then it is one of the most famous and influential horror films, the franchise containing one of horror's most iconic villains. The film is popular enough to become a franchise and spawn several sequels of varying quality and generally inferior to the one that started it all of.Liked the first two 'Friday the 13th' films, despite not exactly considering them great. Had mixed feelings on the third film, but it is one of the more watchable follow-ups. This fourth instalment for me is the second best of the sequels, and although one knows that it was not the 'Final Chapter', the general consensus is that it should have been and that there was no need for the rest. Have to completely agree with this, to me 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter' was the last average and above of the series. It may not be a great film, neither were the previous three. The story is paper thin and there is not much new. Again, while actually the best acted film of the whole series, some of the acting is far from what one would call good. The dialogue, as can be expected (the 'Friday the 13th' films are not to be seen for the script), is awfully crude, cheesy and simplistic, and most of the characters are as dim-witted and underdeveloped as ever (though other sequels did this aspect far worse). There is some unintentional humour here and there that dissipates at times the generally very well done atmosphere.However, there are three performances that are actually the best of the whole series. Corey Feldman in his prime is appealing, showing that it was a shame that his personal life went as down the toilet in the way that it did since. Crispin Glover is lots of fun in his role and Ted White is one of the scariest Jasons.Visually, 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter' has grit and professionalism and the effects and make-up are simply terrific and steal the show even more than Jason. There is plenty of suspense and tension that was missing in the third film, with a return to deaths and moments that are creative and unsettling. The film contains the best ending of the series, certainly of the sequels, truly nightmarish. There is far less padding too. Overall, decent, one of the series' best and the last one to be average or above. 6/10 Bethany Cox

The Jarvis house in this film was used in many films since this was released. One television film called "The Christmas Wish" used the same home. They also used several other "Friday" locations so see if you can spot them. One that you will miss is "The Diner" from "Friday #5". There is a scene in "The Christmas Wish" where Neil Patrick Harris is standing by gas pumps. If you look hard enough you will recognize the location. Now "Friday #4" to me was lots a fun. He is an almost logical story and it delivers to chills and the kills. In this film Jason once again is killing people but he does die at the end. However he is later resurrected in "Friday #6".This film holds up and has a very good cast. IT is still one of the best of the series!

Right now this has a 5.9 on IMDb. This is crazy!I think sometimes people just click and review things without watching them. Which they shouldn't do. They probably think 'oh it's jason part 4 it has to be bad. I'll rate that a 1.'This is why you shouldn't review movies or rate them unless you have seen them. This is one of the best Jason movies and you would know that if you have seen it.What makes this movie so good is Tom Savini is back doing the makeup. He is a god among horror fans. So seeing him and Tommy played by Corey Feldman makes this a hugely fun movie.It's one of those movies you can watch over and over again.5.9. Shame on you all. It should be at least a 9.

Director Joseph Zito & special effects legend Tom Savini, the duo who brought us the brutal slasher Rosemary's Killer, aka The Prowler, team up again for the fourth installment in the hugely popular Friday franchise. Somehow Jason rises from the morgue & finds his way back to Crystal Lake where he embarks on yet another killing rampage. Good acting, some of the best kills & gore in the entire series plus plenty of nudity make this easily one of the best Fridays. * SPOILER ALERT * Instead of sticking with a Final Girl we get a Final Boy for a fantastic & bloody ending. The Final Chapter?? Don't be daft....
