Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

My top 1 best favorite film of all time ever. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter is my all time personal favorite horror slasher 80's film it is the best one it is my number one favorite Friday the 13th film this is a great slasher horror film. Kimberly Beck was a bad-ass hottie sexy girl, I love her so much. Trish Jarvis is my favorite number 1 final girl and the best heroine of all Friday the 13th films. Ted White is the best Jason Voorhees In my opinion! Jason is a ruthless killing menacing machine in this one and Ted White acted like the role was written on his skin, he had a heart to play the character. I love, love, love it so much I love it! Ted White is my number one favorite Jason of them all. Kimberly Beck, Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover made this film work for me. This is Joseph Zito's best film he ever made, beside The Prowler and Invasion U.S.A. it is my favorite Joseph Zito film. Special makeup effects artist was Larry Carr, Tom Savini and Kevin Yagher who were practical special effects. No CGI no shaky cam I love all gory and practical effects used in this film. Tom Savini made with his effects a great death scenes that hold even today. There was a beautiful jump scene trough window in which the main heroine fall's down. It has beautiful cast: I love the twins Camilla and Carey More as Tina and Terri. I love Barbara Howard as Sara so much I felt bad for her. I love Judie Aronson from American Ninja as Samantha. I love Crispin Glover as Jimmy Mortimer and his dance moves. I love Lawrence Monoson as Ted. I love the song played in the film Love Is a Lie by Lion. I love the atmosphere and setting about this film. I love everyone in this film. I love Sara, Sam and of course Jimmy I love the cast, the setting. Joseph Zito directed great. My favorite death scene Is Paul been stabbed in the groin with a harpoon gun excellent scene.I enjoy this movie much you have beautiful cast in here you have a lot's of nudity, great gory and bloody scenes, great kills great heroes. I just love this film to death from setting from acting from jokes everything I love in this film.Corey Feldman is great as Tommy Jarvis the main hero in this film this is his best film. I love him in The Lost Boys and in this film he was fantastic. Kimberly Beck as Trish Jarvis was excellent in my opinion really excellent I love her so much in here. Crispin Glover was great before he went to star a year later in Back to the Future (1985) my all time favorite film. Erich Anderson as Rob did a good job as the guy who want's to avenge his sister death.The Final Chapter is well-paced and well-acted, fit with campy dialogue, bloody deaths, and nudity galore. The Final Chapter ties the original run of the series together well, and is the last Jason entry that can really be taken seriously. This movie get's my Bad-Ass Seal Of Approval 10/10 this movies are great I love this film to death I love it I highly recommend it to the fans.

This has always been my favorite Friday The 13th movie. It's the first time the franchise truly realized how dumb it was, thus making it a fun, dumb, yet still scary 80's goldmine of gory horror fun! It has the best Jason, the best characters, and some of the best kills. It's nice to have characters that are actually likable and relatable, such as Cripsin Glover as the shy nerdy guy who's battling several social anxiety. Most of the other movies just have generic teenagers who are only there to get killed, but this is the first movie that actually tries to have interesting and ED characters that you want to root for instead of waiting for them to die. Corey Feldman as the kid is also a cool character and a nice change of pace. The kills are BRUTAL and have such a PUNCH to them. People don't just die, they DIE. People get tossed out windows and over balconies and get stabbed in the freakin face and broken in half of Jason's knee, it's all amazing! I will say the ending is a bit underwhelming, since this is supposed to be the final Jason movie and all (thank GOD we got more), but it's still a cool ending. If you gotta pick one Friday movie to watch, pick this one.

The Jarvis house in this film was used in many films since this was released. One television film called "The Christmas Wish" used the same home. They also used several other "Friday" locations so see if you can spot them. One that you will miss is "The Diner" from "Friday #5". There is a scene in "The Christmas Wish" where Neil Patrick Harris is standing by gas pumps. If you look hard enough you will recognize the location. Now "Friday #4" to me was lots a fun. He is an almost logical story and it delivers to chills and the kills. In this film Jason once again is killing people but he does die at the end. However he is later resurrected in "Friday #6".This film holds up and has a very good cast. IT is still one of the best of the series!

After a brief diversion to clear out/escape from the nearest morgue, Jason returns from his machete-assisted hibernation to resume slicing and dicing the denizens of Crystal Lake. This time we shake up the formula a bit, introducing a relatively innocent single-parent family to the mix, though the vacationing kids across the street are more than happy to continue with the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll that's so familiar. It's a grab bag, really, a bunch of randomly-associated (or, often, not associated whatsoever) snippets that float around in the wash and occasionally bump into one another. I found it curious to spot a few name actors in the crowd this time: Crispin Glover is his usual awkward self and Corey Feldman plays the same mouthy, bratty kid you might expect given his early '80s stardom. Kevin Bacon's appearance in the first film may have set this stage, but it's still a little strange to see recognizable faces in the midst of such a transparent, genre-specific story, especially when one of them suddenly catches a grievous head wound near the climax. Every bit as indulgently gore-soaked, under-written and simple-minded as the previous chapter, with an even looser grasp on reality. It's roll-your-eyes bad, but not quite change-the-channel bad.
