Corey Feldman? Say it ain't so, Jason - By: Daniel Jolley, 31 Oct 2008 
"Has the diabolical Jason finallly met his match?" Uh, no. Corey Feldman, people; we are talking about Corey Feldman here. Of alll the people on the planet, Corey Feldman is just about the last person capable of taking Jason out of the game. Truly, I had forgotten that Feldman was Jason's main event opponent in this "final chapter" of the series. Rightly or wrongly, that just takes something away from what is otherwise a darn good sequel's sequel's sequel - until the ending, anyway. Personallly, I think this series jumped the shark when Feldman's character devised his unique plan for facing Jason face to face. In fact, I consider the shark re-jumped in the final frame of the film. It's still a strong entry in the series, the last one that actuallly tries to scare the audience, but the ending is just a little too hard for me to swalllow.
In case you're not scoring at home, here's where we are. It's been five years since Mrs. Voorhees went postal alll over Camp Crystal Lake - & less than a week since Jason made his killing debut in the second film. The third movie took up where the second one ended, & now this one takes up where the third one ended. That adds up to two massacres within a matter of days. Now Jason's body has disappeared from the morgue (along with a disgusting doc & a pretty nurse). Now if I were living in the immediate area of these bloodlettings with a hot teenaged daughter & a nerdy young son, I think I'd probably keep them close to home for awhile, especiallly at night. Not so with Mrs. Jarvis - who we know is up to speed on recent local events because we see her reading a newspaper reporting Jason's disappearance from the morgue - Trish (Kimberly Beck) & Tommy (Corey Feldman) are in & out more often than George Michael in a public park at midnight.
Oddly enough, given the fact they live deep in the isolated woods, the Jarvises have another house directly beside them. And who should show up for a temporary vacation there? Yep, a gang of horny teenagers. Friday the 13th The Final Chapter reallly delivers on the T&A, with everyone getting a piece of the action except for self-acclaimed ladies' man Ted (Lawrence Monoson). None of these characters are worth mentioning, though - except for the fact that they make great victims for a bulked-up Jason, who doesn't let a little thing like dying keep him from jumping off his hospital gurney & killing everyone he comes across.
Tommy Jarvis (Feldman) is a big horror fan, & that is supposed to give him some kind of psychological edge against Jason. Frankly, though, his plan for survival is so ridiculous that I wouldn't believe it in a million years. It feels as if the film is actuallly making fun of itself in the last few scenes, & that does a number to the effectiveness of the movie as a whole.
As far as Jason is concerned, though, this marks some of his finest work. He's fast, he's furious, he's expanding the scope & effect of his murder techniques, & - most of alll -there's just no stopping the guy. Having horror makeup guru Tom Savini back on the project also pays huge dividends, as Jason never looked better (by which I mean worse - as we do get another peek at the unfortunate man behind the mask) - but, heck, you already know that Savini is the master. If it weren't for the silly aspects of the ending, this would probably be the best film in the series.
BEST FRIDAY THE 13TH FILM - By: Lou Almighty, 17 Oct 2008 
After the bad first 3 movies, this one does stand out. Realistic FX by Tom Savini led this to being banned here in Germany (like most of Savini's films such as THE PROWLER, THE BURNING, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 & DAWN OF THE DEAD)until this day. Especiallly the final scene (Jason & his machete) is worth a look. The only thing that brings this film down is that it's quite boring in between.
One of the best - By: marky77, 25 Jan 2008 
Just like part 3 this is a reallly good sequel in the Friday the 13th series. And actuallly not just another exact copy of part 1. Jason terrorises a group of teenage friends staying near the now closed down Camp Crystal Lake as well as a family living across the street from the unlucky teens. Corey Feldman stars in an early role as the 12 year old son of the family who is eventuallly left to defend himself against Jason, along with the traditional Last Girl (callled so becuase these movies tend to start with a group of living teenagers & end with a group of dead teenagers & one living teenager, usuallly female) by the end. Like part 3 there is a pretty suspencefull chase scene in near the end. I think Jason looks reallly freaky in this one when he is unmasked.
Probably the best of the sequels so far (I havent seen 5 thru 11 yet though).
BEST OF THE SERIES! ! ! ! - By: M. Western, 31 Jul 2005 The Friday the 13th films have been my favorite slashers since i saw part 1, & unlike many sequels many of the Friday the 13th films have been better than the films before them, part 4 has been my favorite since the start.
It's good body-count & grusome death scenes are 2 of many things that make this film the best!
One thing about this film that is good, wich many of the other films didn't have is decent acting. Tommy Jarvi's actor was quiet good & Cory Feidman (Jason Voorhees) was great, probably one of the best Jason actors!
This film has a great amount of gore & some good acting along with an aleright story too! Any slasher fan will love this film! (and chek out some other Friday the 13th films too).
great, the life story of tommy jarvis - By: mdf6701, 31 Dec 2004 the body count continues in the fourth instalment of this vivid thriller - story in the widely successful friday the 13th series Jason, crystal lakes's least popular citizen, returns to wreck further havoc in friday the 13th - the final chapter. after his revival in a hospital morgue, the hockey-masked murdurer fixes his vengeful attention on the jarvis family & a group of hitherto carefree teens. Young tommy jarvis is an aficionado of horror films with a special talent for masks & make-up. has the diabolical jason finaly met his match? tommy has an expected turn at the end, but you will have to buy this first & you won't regret it!
