πŸ”ͺ🎬 FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKE MANHATTAN (FILM & SOCIAL)

Details

πŸ—½YEP, IT IS THE BLACK SHEEP
I like almost every entry in the series, but I'm also not in the group that prefers the more vulnerable and human Jason. The Final Chapter onwards is more my style. And Kane Hodder is my favourite Man Behind the Mask.

Hello Everyone πŸ‘‹ Okay, I have to admit that Jason Takes Manhattan has been considered as one of the weaker entries, but I beg to differ. Not only am I openly admitting that this isn't bad at all, but it is one of my favourite entries in the series. In fact, I consider this to be the true Black Sheep of the franchise and the one that is the most misunderstood. As a young teenager it easily my favourite Friday with the added memory of my dad, sneaking me into the cinema! And as the years flew by, I noticed how many fans would rewatch Part VIII just so they could love to hate it, only to find out further down the line how much they really loved it. In contrast to other films that don't age well, this one's cult following just keeps on growing. This eighth and final instalment in the Paramount series was written and directed by Rob Hedden and it's a quirky mixed bag that deserves a chance in hell. I love this film, and I really want everyone to see it.

Yep, it's often cited as a film that is so bad that it's good but I will go further as to say it is awesome and an enjoyable watch for horror fans who really do appreciate that over-the-top, idiosyncratic and nonsensical fun. Checkout the schedule breakdown below:
