Comments: Why do groups of six to eight teens keep vacationing a few miles down the road from where brutal massacres keep occurring? Yes, in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, we get the same plotline as the last film, except this one has fucking Corey Feldman AND Crispin Glover (and the return of Tom Savini's special effects). Yet, they still manage to fuck up with horrible inconsistencies and oversights. Jason's overall appearance is the same, yet, when his mask comes off he looks completely different. I guess you're not supposed to watch the films so close together, like I did. And the ending is similar to Part II, just as the ending of the third film is similar to the original. Way to be creative. As I mentioned in the review of the third film, I enjoyed the "slasher" aspect, and I still do here. Unfortunately, it's starting to grow a bit stale. This is the first time I watched any of the Friday the 13th films past the third installment, so hopefully the next... six... films have some more originality.
