What to Know

Critics Consensus

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday nobly attempts to reinvigorate the franchise's mythology, only to be dragged down by generic slasher tropes, shoddy production, and incoherent plotting.

We've got a character-rich ensemble cast, classic notions of undying evil and an in-your-face display of horrific effects considerably more inventive than the usual hack-and-slash of Fridays past. Go to Full Review

Director Adam Marcus and writers Dean Lorey and Jay Huguely deserve credit for fearlessly venturing into uncharted territory, but their big swings don’t always connect. Go to Full Review

Not a worthy sendoff for the beloved Jason Voorhees. Go to Full Review

For best results, catch this eccentric tango with evil in a theatre crowded with shrieking teenagers and others not too hung up on serious plot development and high art. Go to Full Review

Thomas C @Niteowlx92 Oct 24, 2026 The worst one, this is what happens when Evil Dead nerds wanna take over the Friday the 13th IP literally dug up Jason from the grave like in 6 but this time only to kill him straight after and ruin his lore See more Carter H @quality_finds Oct 6, 2026 Worst movie ever? Lol The movie gets entertaining because for once in the Friday the 13th franchise, there's actually a good conflict The movie was super bad in writing, dialogue, and it was just really poorly written for the most part, but... SPOILER ALERT: Jason going from person to person was an interesting concept because it showed more about the character and his abilities, and they explained how it works through his living heart. The conflict being him transferring person to person, meanwhile killing through their bodies, and the only way to kill him is through his sister, okay I mean I guess it makes sense. So I personally liked the movie but in the terms of is it a good movie. No its actually not even a movie, it's just a script thrown on screen with a surprising clear direction. But as I said the whole conflict of Jason body transferring was actually really difficult to not like for me So because the concept worked, 1.5 stars. See more Oaklee D @ODie63 Sep 26, 2026 What was this exactly? I'm confused. See more titan 6 @titan643 Sep 24, 2026 Worst movie ever made See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 9, 2026 Boy this movie stinks See more Alex B @AlexBioni Aug 28, 2026 She Hasn't Had the Taste of the Duke Yet This movie is very over the top. I really liked the first 10 minutes, but after that, things get ridiculous. It makes no logical sense, and I have no idea how Jason is alive after the last movie, but I guess none of that matters. My biggest issue is that Jason isn't really in the movie. It's his spirit taking over people. I actually like the idea, but this is a Jason movie. I want Jason! The movie is bloody, explosive, and completely over the top. The cheesy 90s action music is ridiculous and kind of annoying. The tent scene is absolutely wild. Also, why are they in Ohio? I honestly lost interest halfway through. If Jason was actually in the movie, I think I would have enjoyed it much more. This might be the worst one in the series for me. See more Read all reviews
