Overview: After dying, coming back, taking Manhattan and dying again, Jason Voorhees is now back as a body snatcher in Jason Goes to Hell, an impossibly fun slice of campy supernatural slasher action!

Jason Voorhees is finally dead! Or is he? After being blown to smithereens in a sting operation, the infamous killer’s body is taken to the morgue in Youngstown, Ohio. But Jason can’t be killed so easily, and his still-beating heart possesses the body of the coroner performing his autopsy.

The now body-hopping Jason begins hacking and slashing his way back to his stomping ground of Crystal Lake, where his last living relatives, Diana, her daughter Jessica and her newborn baby Stephanie still reside. Only by them can he be truly killed, and only through them can he be reborn, and Jason is determined to return to full power.

Can the last remaining Voorhees’ survive long enough to finally send Jason to hell for good?

Featuring fan favorite Kane Hodder as Jason and spectacular special effects by industry legends Howard Berger, Robert Kurtzman and Greg Nicotero of KNB EFX Group, Jason Goes to Hell is a madcap entry in one of the most lasting and entertaining franchises of all time!

Blu-ray Verdict: Jason goes to Hell is indeed a stand-alone entry in the series and is a mighty fine movie. Period. Do not compare it with any instalments before or after, just appreciate it for being unique. Yes, there are themes lifted from other unrelated movies and yes, it was a departure from all the other Fridays that came before it. Oh, and yes, Jason’s return is not explained, but I think that was the best and only way to go after part VIII’s slimy sewer ending.

I don’t believe they disregarded this or took the easy way out. Rather, they clearly took a sane approach by jumping ahead and switching the focus. I’ve heard many angry fans condemn this picture, but they aren’t really seeing it in the right light (so to speak). So turn the lights off, turn off the criticism and watch it again now it is out on this brilliant 4K UHD.

Furthermore, in the beginning the homicidal hockey hiker is blown to pieces by a crack group of heavily armed cops, his body parts bagged and tagged sent off to the morgue. Sometime funnyman Richard Grant whose most known for playing the black cop in The Big Lebowski, checks in for coroner duty and quickly falls into a trance state consuming Jason’s heart raw, presumably cold.

For the rest of the movie Jason jumps in and out of bodies in search of death and destruction. Along the way a camping love-couple gets RIPPED in half, faces get smashed, and CHUNKS of human tissue go all over the place in what seems like endless gun battles. John D. LeMay who was on a show in the eighties with the same title (way different premise) plays boyfriend to local waitress with Jason genes and helps whoever he can survive the body count.

The other great part goes to Steven Williams who plays the bounty hunter Creighton Duke (awesome name) out to kill Jason for good with the aid of a ten gallon hat and an intergalactic knife. The whole movie flies by at a spitfire pace with great camera work and shooting locations.

In closing, listen to the Director’s commentary and the archival interview with Kane Hodder re: Über-Jason. Indulge in all the fantastic FX and awesome atmosphere the film offers. Shit, just watch it for Kane Hodder himself. Watch it for all the references to other horror favorites. Just make sure you watch the UNRATED version. Personally, I can’t get enough of this movie.
