Rish Outfield's reviews
The trailer was brilliant...the film was not.
In fact, this had a pretty cool idea behind it: take Jason, who we've seen in every possible Crystal Lake scenario, and put him in a new one--the big city. Unfortunately, it waits until the end before anything happens, and the rest of the time is dull, uninspired, unscary, bland, and derivative (of bland, derivative films). So, this one, which seemed promising, was just as bad as the others--and worse than some. In fact, I'm already having trouble remembering details.

The tyranist's thoughts
Terrible. I rented this one specifically to finish out the Friday the 13th series and I kind of wish I hadn't bothered. Let me run through the plot really quick so that you don't have to see it. Jason gets resurrected (again) when an anchor hits an underwater electrical line at Crystal Lake (Ok, the fact that no one lives there should make you wonder why there is an electrical line in the lake). Apparently he's up to his old mayhem inducing ways since he starts killing anything that comes in range. Coincidentally, the morning after, a group of students who just graduated from high school are starting their "cruise" down the river to New York City. Jason gets on board, kills everyone but five people and then chases them through New York, until they come up with an improbable way to defeat him.
Really, folks, save yourselves the effort, watch Teletubbies, it's more intelligent. My biggest gripe with the film is perhaps the most subjective as well. The character that I hated the most and wanted dead the most was the last person to die. Did they do this to annoy us? I mean, nobody really liked this guy, right? So they decide to alienate me by keeping the jerk around. Bad filmmaking at its height. What else did we expect, though?
