FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER
Joseph Zito | 1984 | USA | 1h31m | Presented in the original English audio with English subtitles.
It's Friday the 13th, and Jason Voorhees is coming to FOMO. We're screening three of our favourites from the long-running franchise: THE FINAL CHAPTER, JASON LIVES and JASON X. That's parts four, six and ten, taking us from Crystal Lake to outer space. Come dressed for the occasion and we'll give you a free drink and popcorn. There's also a special gift for everyone attending two or all three films. And be prepared. Your first fright might arrive before the film starts.
The title was supposed to be a promise. By 1984, Paramount had decided that Jason Voorhees had killed enough teenagers, and the fourth FRIDAY THE 13TH film would bring the series to a definitive end. Naturally, it made so much money that another sequel arrived the following year.
Picking up immediately after PART III, THE FINAL CHAPTER finds Jason escaping from a hospital morgue and returning to Crystal Lake, where another group of unsuspecting holidaymakers has rented a cabin. Among his potential victims are the teenage Trish Jarvis and her younger brother Tommy, played by a 12-year-old Corey Feldman. Tommy's fascination with horror masks and makeup will prove particularly useful when Jason comes calling.
Director Joseph Zito, fresh from THE PROWLER (1981), brought back legendary special effects artist Tom Savini, who had created the gruesome kills in the original FRIDAY THE 13TH. Savini had turned down the intervening sequels but returned for what was supposed to be Jason's grand farewell. The result is some of the most spectacular practical gore in the entire franchise.
There's also a wonderfully eccentric supporting performance from Crispin Glover, whose gloriously awkward dancing has become almost as famous among horror fans as Jason himself.
Released on April 13, 1984, the film earned nearly $33 million at the American box office and became a fan favourite. Many consider it the definitive FRIDAY THE 13TH sequel, with its combination of outrageous kills, black humour and one particularly memorable final confrontation.
For our Friday the 13th triple feature, we're starting with the film that was supposed to end it all.
