Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

I love how it takes place soon after Part 3 ended! I love the way Jason looks in this one. I love Jason's killing techniques. Tommy Jarvis, a horror fan (like me) and his sister must kill Jason Voorhees before he kills them. Rob is trying to find Jason, because he killed his sister in the 2nd one. Also this has the 'horny kids staying at an abandoned house and Jason happens to come by and kill them' plot, which is kind of overdone in the series! Overall, this is a really good chapter to add to the series, and I'm glad it's NOT the final chapter!!!

The release of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" nearly ended Jason's career as a serial killer. After hordes of angry moms protested this movie, numerous companies, including Paramount, took a closer look at the slasher flicks they were releasing. Paramount decided to end the "Friday the 13th" series with "Friday the 13th The Final Chapter." We all know that America was already addicted to Jason Voorhees and would not allow him to rest in peace.

Once again, an oversexed, hormonally challenged group of teenagers decide to vacation in the woods, not knowing that Jason Voorhees's body has disappeared from the nearby morgue along with two hospital employees. (Doesn't anyone read the papers anymore?) In "The Final Chapter," we meet one of the series most interesting characters, Tommy Jarvis, who will appear in two more sequels. Tommy, like myself, is obsessed with horror movie paraphernalia, including masks, which he makes with his own hands. We also meet his cute sister, Trish, and his adorable mom. The viewers grow to care about them as though they are a part of our own families.

Another interesting character is the handsome, young man, Rob Dyer, who is pretending to hunt bear. Actually, he is hunting Jason. Rob wishes to avenge his sister's death at the hands of the notorious serial killer. During the entire series, this is the only time I can remember when someone is seeking revenge for a relative murdered by Jason.

"The Final Chapter" has the highest body count of the first four features. Thirteen to be exact. The body count will increase with each sequel. Unfortunately, the plots become inversely proportional to the body counts. In other words, the plot suffers as the body count grows.

At the end of "The Final Chapter," Jason's physical body may die, but his evil spirit is freed to live on. By the sixth movie, Jason, like Freddy Krueger, becomes more of a supernatural type serial killer that can never truly be killed.

In actuality, "Friday the 13th The Final Chapter" is only the beginning of Jason's gruesome reign of terror. I recommend adding this feature to your collection of serial killer and slasher flicks.
