if longtime fan of the friday the 13th saga have anything to say about it and the people behind this film will burn in the same place a it hockey mask star . jason go to hell represent the final friday be completely preposterous and out of place and an affront to what have be a dependable horror series . admittedly and director and co writer adam marcus deserve credit for his boldness . he seem inexplicably convince that the wheel of the friday series need to be drastically reinvent and even though fan have line up for basically the same plot eight time prior . but the brainwave of have jason possess one body after another alter the very fabric of what make these film good . suddenly it like be watch an invasion of the body snatcher rip off . throw in jason newfound grunting and a far too heavy plot and a magical dagger ( . ) and you have something completely unworthy of the friday moniker . jason go to hell be also incredibly lazy . all friday film and by their very nature and require a leap of faith and but this be really too much . firstly and this mark the first time that no explanation be give for mr. voorhees reemergence . be we all dream when we watch him get melt down to goo in the sewer of new york city . and what about jason rebirth toward the end ( the most ridiculous moment of any friday film ) . how can a little slimy demon be reborn into a man already wear rip clothing and a hockey mask . and what about bounty hunter creighton duke . it never explain how he know so much about jason and the mythical circumstance surround his life . in each of these instance and there seemingly be no easy answer . so rather than be inventive and the writer just throw all of this at u and hop we would lap it up like thirsty kitten at a milk dish . this sequel completely ignore the continuity of the jason legend that have be meticulously build up over the year . what equally tragic about jason go to hell be it insistence on mock the series . at one point and john d. lemay character sarcastically ask a trio of teen head for camp crystal lake whether they plan to smoke dope and engage in premarital sex and then get slaughter . har har . the transformation of jason into some kind of medium star be just a unnerving . jason be a legend and a mythical figure whisper about in wildly imaginative campfire story . yet this movie turn him into a serial killer so well known he make the tv tabloid and be target by the fbi . this be not the jason we know and and jason go to hell be not the friday the 13th we love . it essentially break the finger of the hand that feed it . the failure of jason go to hell and both in term of concept and box office revenue and inevitably draws comparison to the much pan friday the 13th part v represent a new beginning . that film draw plenty of boo for it jason less gimmick and but at least it have the feel of a friday flick . jason go to hell be substantially bad than any other entry and mainly because it be completely unrecognizable . like part v and it probably would have work well a a horror film independent of the jason saga and rather than drag mr. voorhees into a place he have no business be . clearly and adam marcus be wrong . the friday the 13th wheel do not need reinvent . the failure of this film ( and jason x year later ) show that fan want a return to simpler time when horny teen in cabin be afraid to look out their window . a the saying go and if it ain not break and do not fix it .
