Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

Authorities are on scene where the grizzly murders at Higgen's Haven at the hands of Jason Voorhees has taken place.

Paramedics have gotten Jason's body packed up and shipped off to the morgue where he is set to be autopsied by the local coroner. But Jason has another plan in mind.

He awakens from his short slumber, kills the doctor and nurse on staff and heads back down to the lake where he runs into yet another group of camping teenagers and a family who live out there named the Jarvis'.

One of the characters we are introduced to in this movie is Tommy Jarvis, he will be a recurring character in some of the following films and is considered to be the main antagonist in the series, although he only appears in three of the films, he was used in most of the books and graphic novel versions of the series.

Other than the introduction of Tommy to the series, there is not too much good to say about this film other than the obvious excellence of most of the kills, notably the doctor kill at the start of the film.

They also made Tommy Jarvis an amateur special effects designer which he is able to use in order to stop Jason from attacking one of his victims. It brought out a lot of confusion for some people they I knew as they did not fully grasps why Tommy looked like he did by the end if the film. I would imagine the biggest issue they were having throughout this film was paying attention to the story line.

With all that being said I was never a big fan of this movie to begin with, nor was I a fan of Tommy's throughout the series. It always felt like they were trying to make the character more than he ever should have been.

But that could also be caused how they portrayed him in the following few films and as we are solely speaking about this film I will give it a 4.5 out of 10.
