Okay, let's talk about something potentially controversial.
I'm talking about Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday. You know, that one.
Unpopular Opinion Incoming!
It's...kind of good?
Wait, wait! Don't throw tomatoes yet. Hear me out.
Everyone hates it, I get it. It's different, weird, and barely features Jason himself, or so it seems.
A Body-Hopping Adventure?
Let's be honest, the "demon worm" transferring Jason's essence is...out there.
But isn't that part of the charm? The sheer audacity?
I mean, how many slasher movies go full-on body horror?
It's like they were saying, "Okay, you think you know Jason? Think again!"
It's undeniably a wild ride!
There is one thing that is undeniably a fact; at least it does something completely different.
The Humor Factor
This movie is unintentionally hilarious at times.
The reactions of the people possessed by Jason's essence are priceless.
Some of the kills are so over-the-top, they loop back around to being awesome.
"I have to find my family."
That line? Pure gold. I mean, seriously, who writes this stuff?
It's not scary in the traditional sense, but it sure is entertaining!
The Ending? A Tease!
That ending! With Freddy Krueger's glove pulling Jason's mask down to hell?
Talk about a cliffhanger!
It was a blatant setup for Freddy vs. Jason, which, let's be honest, was pretty fun too.
It was a clear way to say that they didn't know what to do next.
Is It a Good *Friday the 13th* Movie?
Probably not. Let's be real.
Does it disrespect the lore? Maybe a little. Okay, a lot.
But is it a fun, cheesy, over-the-top horror flick that dares to be different? Absolutely.
I like to see it as a black sheep of the family.
It's like that weird cousin who shows up to Thanksgiving dinner wearing a tin foil hat and spouting conspiracy theories.
You might cringe, but you'll definitely remember them.
Give It Another Chance!
So, next time you're looking for a horror movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, give Jason Goes To Hell another shot.
Go into it with an open mind and a sense of humor.
You might just find yourself enjoying the crazy ride. Or, you'll hate it even more. Either way, you have been warned.
Let's face it, no matter how bad it is, it's not boring!
Perhaps, it is the one Jason movie I'd be most likely to re-watch?
What do you think?
