Summary
It's Friday the 13th! That means its time for us to continue down our journey of reviewing every Friday the 13th movie and this time... we've landed on part VIII... Jason Takes Manhattan. Find out what we thought about this movie in this brand new horror movie review!
Mass murderer Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is resurrected from the bottom of Crystal Lake. After he kills a passing boat's occupants, he stows away on a cruise ship filled with a high-school graduating class bound for New York City. Biology teacher Charles McCulloch (Peter Mark Richman) is on board with his niece, Rennie (Jensen Daggett), who has visions of Jason drowning as a child. They escape his bloody shipboard rampage, but, when Rennie and Charles reach Manhattan, Jason is close by.Become a supporter on Patreon!
