DVD Synopsis

Hockey-masked killer Jason Vorhees returns to terrorize a lakeside family and their rowdy teen neighbors in this fourth installment of the long-running slasher series. After the events of Friday the 13th, Part 3, Jason's seemingly lifeless body is brought to the morgue, where horny attendant Axel (Bruce Mahler) is trying to score with foxy Nurse Morgan (Lisa Freeman). The pair quickly meet a grisly end. Meanwhile, at Crystal Lake, estranged wife Mrs. Jarvis (Joan Freeman) and her kids -- young Tommy (Corey Feldman) and teenaged Trish (Kimberly Beck) -- find their quiet invaded by a group of hard-partying kids moving into the rental house next door. The youngsters include curious virgin Sara (Barbara Howard), hot-to-trot Samantha (Judie Aronson), and nebbish Jimmy (Crispin Glover). Tommy, a monster makeup enthusiast, enjoys watching the scantily clad young ladies through his window, while Trish toys with the idea of joining in their revelries. Also lurking around the area is Rob (Erich Anderson), who claims to be hunting bear but actually has mysterious ties to the events of Friday the 13th, Part 2. As the house full of teens begins to pair off -- aided by the addition of local twins Tina (Camilla More) and Terri (Carey More) to the mix -- an unseen killer begins to pick them off one by one. The bloodshed climaxes with a tense showdown in which Tommy disguises himself as a bald, lumpy boyhood version of Jason in hopes of distracting the relentless psychopath who hunts him. Feldman would return for a cameo in Friday the 13th, Part V: A New Beginning, only to be replaced by another actor in a grown-up version of the role. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

The fourth film in the Friday the 13th franchise, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This is a less than spectacular release from Paramount that should appeal almost exclusively to fans of the series. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Jason is back! But this time, he's met his match!

Released on Friday,April 13th, 1984- This was in fact Jason's lucky day.
Billed as the 'final' chapter, but it was a runaway hit. Styles are dated, but
by far the best of the sequels. Crispin Glover steals the entire movie as
'Ted'. Jason is as brutal as ever and this may be the goriest of them all.
A very entertaining slasher film, but not for the entire family. May want to
put the kids to bed early. Made in the 80's when horror films were at their peak
and Tom Savini was king of special makeup FX.

Jason LIVES!

Not a bad film; decent way to spend 90 minutes. Franchise would have been much better off to have ended with this film. Worth seeing for fans of the previous entries.
