Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is an American slasher film directed by Joseph Zito and produced by Frank Mancuso Jr. It stars Kimberly Beck, Peter Barton, Corey Feldman, E. Erich Anderson, Crispin Glover, Alan Hayes, and Barbara Howard. And was released by Paramount Pictures on April 13th, 1984. This was intended to be the final sequel in the Friday the 13th series, but we all know how that went. For all intents and purposes, this was the final appearance of the “alive” version of Jason Voorhees. He is a zombie henceforth.

Following the events of Friday the 13th Part III, Jason Voorhees is presumed dead and his body is transported to a local hospital’s morgue. However, the masked slasher isn’t dead. He returns once again to go on another killing spree as he returns to his home at Camp Crystal Lake. On the way back, Jason encounters plenty of young, horny teenagers to kill and a family with a troublesome little kid named, Tommy Jarvis.

The Final Chapter ties the entire first four films together in a sort of operatic sort of way. The beginning gives a quick overview of the past four movies before we settle right into the ol’ hack and slash with Jason. The newest gang of teenagers provides quite a lot of entertainment. Crispin Glover is hilarious. He takes his character and really spins it. Jimmy is a weird, quirky teenager that stands out as the most entertaining of the teens. He has the best scenes, including his weird dance number. He also gets a grizzly death from this imposing Jason played by stuntman, Ted White.
