After the attack, the body is brought to a military morgue and looked over by a mortician who ends up being hypnotized by his beating heart. The mortician ends up eating the heart which transfers Jason's soul over to his body. Thus begins a whole new reign of terror.
Directed by Adam Marcus. Produced by Sean S. Cunningham and Debbie Hayn-Cass. Written by Jay Huguely, Adam Marcus, Dean Lorey and starring Steven Williams, Kari Keegan, John D. LeMay and Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees.
A few Easter eggs I have to mention before we start the review. The necronomicon, as seen in the Evil Dead series is shown in the Voorhees house and the obvious "claw glove" hand of Freddy grabbing Jason's mask at the end of the film teasing the eventual meet up between the two.
This was the first film in the franchise produced by New Lines Cinema after buying the rights for "Friday" from Paramount studios.
This chapter of the franchise went into uncharted waters, using the Camp Crystal Lake killings as some sort of world renowned myth, with several people trying to uncover the truth to it including the military.
You barely see Jason throughout the film next to a few mirror shots here and there, but I found that in doing this, it made him seem that much more gruesome and evil once he did reappear.
I did not really care for this film. I felt like I was more excited to see the Easter eggs they added in rather than what the story line had to offer.
And as for my top kill in this movie. It came not from the hands of Jason but the military who blew him the hell up. Thanks to that I have to rate low here. The only thing saving this movie for me is the Easter eggs. 3 out of 10.
