Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)



..It sadden me when my horror heroes are trapped in bad movies.  It happened to Frankenstein so by Jason's 8th outing he's bound to have a bad turn.  I had high hopes when this originally came out buying a Fangoria b/c it was delayed during production.  B/c of budget cuts we never got to see the glorious vision that Rob Hedden had in store for us.  Let me be the 1st to say it here that Rob Hedden is a hack as he wrote & directed this film w/out ever seeing a Friday the 13th movie.  Cashing a quick paycheck was more important than an hour & a half of your life.  He even gives us what I consider to be the worst climax in film history by having Jason turned back into a child after being drown in toxic waste.  It makes me ashamed that I keep watching it expecting it to be better that just watching Kane Hodder as Jason.  Sadly it isn't.  I love Jason; I love New York but like poop & peanut butter hate this movie
