Here we live a series of powerful and varied events that seem different. That story begins where the supernatural assets of the serial killer Jason Farhis are revealed. Perhaps it was only in the hands of the last surviving descendant of the Vorhis family to stop Jason before he became immortal and could not be stopped.
Although it may not be a "good" Friday the 13th movie (by whatever strange standards that is reckoned)...Jason Goes to Hell works reasonably well on its own terms as a supernatural thriller.
That the end result is convoluted, lacking in logical coherence, and sometimes downright silly is not ideal, but you can sense the genuine desire to take the story in a new direction

The film suffers from bad continuity, sloppy editing, bland acting, ridiculous plot developments and cardboard characters. It is also the most grotesque film in the series.
Sure, this one's got gore galore and a boatload of atrocious acting performances to giggle at, but without Jason doing the stalking - it's just not a Friday the 13th movie.

Well, it's no Part VI, but then it's no Jason X either.

A very NewLineesque ninth sequel to Friday the 13th

Aimless, overlong, confusing, and in possession of plot holes large enough to land a fighter plane on.
