Please note that this review is laden with spoilers.
Jason Injury Count: As Jason is now a
regenerated evil hell like machine, he is able to take many pummelings without faltering. He is shot with literally hundreds (Perhaps thousands) of bullets and is completely obliterated by a bomb (or two). In his further incarnations, he is shot squarely in the head, has a spear through the chest, punched in the face, hit by a car, backed over by same car, shot 8 times in the chest, shot once more in the head, shot 20 times by a pistol, shot 10 times by a
shotgun,
impaled on a skewer, and had his head nearly
decapitated. Once again back in his Jason body, his chest gets a beating with a rake, he is bashed a few times with a shovel, and is stabbed by a
mystic magical knife. He then proceeds to be dragged to hell.
Body count: 22, 15 Male and 8 Female. These are only confirmed on-screen deaths; persons in the movie speak of deaths that increase the
death toll to about 28 or so.
Plot Outline: In the most
bizzarre movie of the series yet, Jason's secret to
reanimation is revealed - he is some sort of mystical supernatural
hellspawn, able to take control of other people's bodies!! Though this sorta screws up the body count (Is he dead? Is he Jason? Does he die when Jason changes bodies?), it does make the movie.. well... the same as all the rest. Even though Jason could be dressed up in a
three piece suit and minus a
hockey mask, he still walks with stiff knees and a raised
machete.
Though predictable, there were some seriously funny moments in this movie. I recommend this movie to be watched by all.
Anyways, the actual plot is that Jason's existence is finally brought to the attention of the
FBI. A crack team takes him down at the beginning of the movie - but a mysterious
killing spree leads a trail of bodies from the morgue back to
Crystal Lake! Who could it BE?!?! A television personality offers a reward of
five hundred thousand dollars to the man who can bring down Jason... who will take the prize?! (no, the movie isn't exciting enough to warrant that many
exclamation marks)
