Reviews for Friday the 13th - Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan
An inscrutable narrative that pukes its way across an unforgivably long 100 minutes.
09/12/07
Even the finest Friday the 13th flicks barely qualify as actual movies, so it’s fairly clear where the lesser entries lie on the scale of quality.

It's actually quite amazing that a film titled Jason Takes Manhattan never really takes place in Manhattan. At least the Muppets kept their titular promise to bite the Big Apple.

This is easily the most disappointing of the original...movies - which is quite an achievement when you consider that the overall quality of the franchise was hardly high enough to raise expectations to a level that would allow for disappointment.

Taking the serial killer and putting him on a boat isn't the silliest thing you could do -- you could always send him to space.

We're lured in with promises of Manhattan mayhem, and all we get is more of the same stupid stuff.

Utterly appalling.

Not even remotely scary, and on top of that less than 1/3 of the film takes place in New York. False advertising, I say!

As Jason entries go, there've been worse, but...

As most people had already realized long before, Jason just wasn't scary anymore.

As shrink-wrapped slaying goes there is no equal and, until moviegoers demand otherwise, the uninspired trail of blood and body parts will continue.
01/01/00
Worst of the series, Jason doesn't really take anything.
02/20/08
Director Rob Hedden may have been onto something: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan, the series itself was always drowning in ****.

For what it's worth (very little), probably the best in the series.
