Chainsaw Brutality Wrote:Without actually having Jason in it, I don't see the point of the film at all. The only thing I see, is misleading the audience into thinking this is another Friday the 13th film.The point of the film was to study of one survivor of Jason's massacres, and show how he is affected by the ghost of what happened so to speak. That's a pretty good plot basis IMO. Part 1 was a great suspense story even with Jason being an afterthought; part 2 was good even though Jason was far from the icon he turned into.
I understand that there is supposed to be some mystery involved, but when you realize Jason isn't in it (blue arrows on the mask, instead of red), it's tough to really give a damn.
The characters really don't help matters any either. It's hard to care about what happens to any of them, including Tommy. The acting is horrible as well.
Btw, I think Jason Goes to Hell shouldn't exist either. The whole "body jumping" bullshit is lame.
However, JGTH does have one of the best kills in the entire series (tent spike scene).
The acting wasn't that bad, although admittedly acting has to be noticeably awful for me to call it "bad." The acting was far from bad enough for me to take notice in this case. And I at least liked Violet, she was like the female Jimbo with her dance, dont'cha know? :3

Jason Goes to Hell was the first F13 film I saw; I knew the general F13 storyline before watching, but I came in after the film had already begun and initially thought... "WTF? Jason is a black guy??" because of it X)
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
