One of the lamest movies. Only about the last 20 min of the movies was in Manhattan. Should change it to Jason takes a cruise - @Saturday, October 6, 2018 9:04 PM

even as a kid I was like this sucks, he doesn't even go to NY haha still special place in my heart I was like 12 and me and a buddy got away with renting this 18+ movie. The mom and pop video store wasn't as strict as the chains, 1 phone call to a parent who's not really paying attention or even caring really and we were golden. Walking home with that paper VHS tape cover covered in the scratched up plastic casing was amazing, I probably thought the movie was going to be so good. Still, it was my most watched from the franchise. - @Friday, July 27, 2018 4:59 AM

This is better then A Nightmare on elm street. It also better then A Nightmare on elm street 2 Freddy's revenge. But it is not has good has A Nightmare on elm street 3 the dream worries. Also it is not has good has A Nightmare on elm street 4 the dream master. Also it is not has good has A Nightmare on elm street 5 the dream child. Also it is not has good has Freddy's dead the final nightmare. Also is is not as good has Wes Craven's New nightmare. But it is better the Halloween. It is also better then Halloween II. It is a lot better then Halloween III season witch. I like this movie. I do not like Halloween III season of the witch. It is also better then Halloween 4 the return of Micheal Myers. It is also better then Halloween 5 the revenge of Micheal Myers. It is also better then Halloween the cures of Micheal Myers. It is also better then Halloween H20. It is a lot better then Halloween resurrection. Like this movie. I do not like Halloween resurrection. - @Monday, May 21, 2018 6:22 PM

This movie sucked they took it too far with Jason! At this point it was more funny than slasher scary - @Saturday, May 12, 2018 1:06 PM

Cool trailer, not so great movie. For those who are fans of F13 pt 8, good for you. More power to you. But for me, this is the one I just cannot stand. I have the Friday the 13th box set and I have watched all of them multiple times except this one. I honestly have trouble deciding if this is worse than Jason X. - @Saturday, March 24, 2018 6:27 PM

when you watch the trailer you think: oh, this looks cool, Jason takes Manhattan. but when you watch the movie its more like Jason takes a cruise - @Saturday, April 8, 2017 10:30 PM

beautiful saxophone music! I love it. Its crazy to think I was just in New York City last week, and while I was there walking through times square I was thinking of this movie and thinking how crazy it would be to see Jason and have him come after me! HEHE. Really cool trailer! - @Friday, March 24, 2017 7:41 PM

Fish Renfroe Boyd

I love how they tried to make people think he was just gonna go to New York and butcher the whole cities population. But he didn't even put a dent on the city, if it was real life nobody there would have realized Jason was ever there, even the guys with the boom box would have completely forgot about him within a couple days.. Jason takes a short casual stroll across time square after more than an hour on a boat: Part 8 - @Monday, March 20, 2017 9:23 AM
