Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

 Genre: Horror
Directed by: Rob Hedden
Starring: Jensen Daggett, Scott Reeves, Peter Mark Richman, Kane Hodder 
 Running time: 100 minutes

 


Jason Voorheers is once again brought back to life from the bottom of the sea. This time, he infiltrates a cruise ship filled with a group of graduating seniors on a trip to New York City with two teachers serving as chaperones.

This one is a total waste of time. Even the characters you are supposed to root for are so annoying that you just cannot do it. You just want Jason to finish the job quick and get it over with. And that was the longest film of that franchise at that point. The story labors along aimlessly, with no sense of direction to it. At the end, you almost want Jason to kill you too, for daring to watch this cinematic juiceless lemon.
