Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
In an intriguing story about a ship bound for New York City. The ship carries many students and may have a supernatural and terrifying apprentice named Jason Vorhis. Jason is a killer who can not be stopped, where he was able to sink the ship and kill many students on board. Many students fled to Manhattan after surviving, but the bad fate did not leave them. There in New York it was not simple. It's a great hell come on the body of a hockey mask.

An inscrutable narrative that pukes its way across an unforgivably long 100 minutes.

Among the passengers is a bright girl who's having visions of a drowning boy, her smarmy guardian, her concerned teacher, a boyfriend whose soon-to-be-late father is the ship's captain, and assorted high school stereotypes.

It's actually quite amazing that a film titled Jason Takes Manhattan never really takes place in Manhattan. At least the Muppets kept their titular promise to bite the Big Apple.

Not even remotely scary, and on top of that less than 1/3 of the film takes place in New York. False advertising, I say!

This is easily the most disappointing of the original...movies - which is quite an achievement when you consider that the overall quality of the franchise was hardly high enough to raise expectations to a level that would allow for disappointment.

For what it's worth (very little), probably the best in the series.

...ultimately stands as a very slight improvement over its various predecessors.

Worst of the series, Jason doesn't really take anything.

Overall, as a horror fan, even the weakest of movies can still hold a place in my heart and Jason Takes Manhattan is definitely one of them.

The makers of the Friday films wouldn't even consider stopping the series till they hit that magic number: Part XIII.
