A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie is so freaking good. This movie takes what the previous movies did right and multiplies that by 10. Plus you get Corey Feldman and a ridiculous dance from Crispin Glover. This installment has fantastic kills that really bumps up the gore from the previous 3 movies and has much better characters. This entry also introduces Tommy Jarvis. The pacing is spot on and the ending is awesome. Jason is so bad ass in this as well. Way more menacing than the predecessors. Ted White did an excellent job. Not only is this a great Friday the 13th but it's also a kickass slasher. 10/10

'Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)' came with the opportunity to actually come up with some semblance of a plot, picking up with a seemingly dead serial-killer on the set of 'Part III', but instead just resurrects its villain and sticks him in the exact same story we've seen three times before. This time, it has the least connection to the canon and arguably the least competent screenplay, to boot. It's frustrating, too, because this had the potential to be something different. Being billed as the 'final chapter' gives it the perfect opportunity to subvert audience expectation and perhaps provide a more powerful ending that maybe even explains some of the unanswered questions from 'Friday's past. There are flashes of uniqueness in the form of a few characters who don't quite fit the preconceived stereotypes, but all of these slot into the same cut-and-paste formula from before and, as such, offer no relief from it. The fact that it's all so poorly done, even the violence which is more overt but now has an odd leer to it, just makes it an incredibly boring watch even when the long promised 'finale' finally happens just under halfway through the series. 3/10

With as incredibly infuriating it is to see Jason constantly getting back up regardless of what he gets hit or chopped up or burned with or whatever, the end was a relief. Though, just throwing this out there, 4 more movies left, I'm guessing hes still not dead. Oh well. Anyways, the movie was fairly decent, apart from a few scenes where you just kinda go "seriously?". Who honestly screams "hes killing me!" when violently being murdered? Just kinda seemed farfetched. I liked the second movie the best so far, but we'll see how well the rest go.

Friday 13th 1-3 I considered to be generic camp slashers which didn't live up to the iconic legacy that the franchise has built up. This 4th part however was an improvement and I actually quite enjoyed it.This time with a couple of familiar faces in Crispin Glover and child star legend Corey Feldman the movie actually had a bit of a storyline which the previous ones didn't. Thin storyline absolutely but a storyline all the same.I didn't entirely understand the logic of the movies finale but everything else was well enough done and though the film pales in comparison to the same years Nightmare On Elm Street it's still a decent slasher feature.The Good: Vastly improved death scenes Actually has a story The Bad:Still pretty naff in places Weak ending Things I Learnt From This Movie: If a rubber dinghy gets run through with a machete it'll continue to float because physics Harpoon gun up the bum is a hell of a way to go
