My fave Friday. Actually, the first 4 are fantastic. When Jason was human these movies were fucking SCARY!!!

The best in the series, easily. The best characters, the best ending and the best acting. Also, it's one of the few movies in the series that was able to really create a good feeling of dread or suspense without feeling too contrived or ridiculous.

There was a time, back in the day, when the "Friday the 13th" movies were meant to scare you, not make you laugh. No movie in the entire series does this better that "Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter". This is the DEFINITIVE "Friday the 13th" movie.
Part 4 has the best of everything!! Story, cast,(Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover, Lawrence Monoson), graphic violence, killings, AND Jason.
Immediately picking up where "Friday the 13th Part 3" (the 2nd best of the series), "Friday the 13th Part 4" was such a brilliant addition to the franchise. For those who haven't seen the series, Part 4 is not a bad place to start, or finish. We get a great little campfire story (courtesy of Part 2) and a lot of great death sequences (from the 3 movies past) within the first 5 minutes. We also get real acting, & actual character development with the "Final Chapter". This was the last movie in the series that was actually made AS a horror film, and not as a cult film. And this movie does scare!
The killings in the "Final Chapter" are original and beautifully executed. Corkscrew to hand-then cleaver to face, spear gun right in the groin (YEAH BABY), banana vomiting, and 2 WONDERFUL crashing through the window sequences (one with twin Tina, the other with Trish) that still manages to frighten me to this day. The shower seen is pretty awesome as well, and even the dog isn't safe in this one! Awesome!!
After Part 4, the franchise became almost a joke, and the films that followed are nothing but camp. They are still good and watch able, but they weren't intended to scare the heck out of ya!
"Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter" does it all, time and time again. This film has gone under rated and without credit for many years. Many people say that the original "Friday the 13th" was the best, but I highly beg to differ. Part 1 WAS the original, but it's somewhat slow paced, and Tom Savini's masterful special effects are much more evident in Part 4. Tom was really on top of his game by the time "The Final Chapter" went into production. Part 1 has the scariest ending, I'll give it that.
If you want to see Jason at his peak, when he was a total bad-boy and really did some butt kicking, then look no further than this classic film in horror cinema!
This really was "The Final Chapter"; in more ways than one.
I thought this was one of the best ones in the series.

a cool jason flick that has great effects from tom savini who returns to the series after doing the f/x on part 1, interesting cast with corey feldman, and a hilarious crispin glover performance!
i loved the machette sliding down the head scene alot.
For me this is the last in the series since the other sucked balls(specially jason goes to hell and jason x) and i think this one is the third best in the series i really would of wish that the title of this movie would of been true (THE FINAL CHAPTER)
Very good film best gore in the whole series (just my opinion) was a bit boring throughout some parts of the film but the ending is when it really started to pick up one of the best in the series. Now if they would have ended the series here I thought that would've been good. But after part 6 and 7 the series just went downhill. This was the last time we had the original creepy Jason Voorhees.
Of course this is not the final chapter, but it is one of the better fridays. I have always loved this one. When i was a young teenager they would play this on tv on the weekends. This movie is really well done. Just enjoy this one. and don't forget the next two.
Possibly the best in the series. There's nothing I could say better than the official review already has, except: Crispen Glover axe to the face! Fuck yeah. Great FX. Good actors. Amazing kills.
I have to say... this is my fav Friday film... I think the series went down hill after this one... this movie lives up to the original with just as much terror and gore!
THE HORROR HYPE METER Excited to see this movie? Rate it here!
