Friday 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter (1984)

My rating - 7.5/10

After he's pronounced dead at the scene, Jason is taken to a local morgue. He returns to life, kills some morgure workers and makes his way back towards Camp Crystal Lake where he encounters a group of friends renting a cabin nearby. From then on another round of slayings starts.

My favourite entry in the franchise. This one is a lot of fun and Jason is on top brutal form as he cuts, breaks, slices and impales his way through everyone in sight. The characters are a fun bunch with a memorable performance from the eccentric Crispen Glover. Kimberly Beck as Trish makes for a good final girl and Corey Feldman is also good as the young Tommy when they team up to rid the world of Jason once and for all.

The kills are good and the effects from Tom Savini are excellent. The sight of Jason's head sliding down a machete as his face splits apart is awesome. This was intended to be the last of the movies, but it made a lot of money so of course many more movies would soon come along. If you only want to watch one entry then this would be the one I'd recommend.
