Dopo l’ennesimo massacro a Crystal Lake, il corpo senza vita di Jason Voorhees viene portato all’obitorio. Ma Jason non è realmente morto e, dopo aver ucciso un paramedico e un’infermiera, fugge dall’obitorio e si dirige nuovamente fra i boschi. Nei pressi del lago vive Trish, con suo fratello Tommy e la madre; mentre in una casa vicina si è appena stabilita una comunità di ragazzi e ragazze in vacanza, pronti a far baldoria. Tutti loro non saranno altro che carne da macello nelle mani di Jason. “Venerdì 13 – Capitolo finale” (furbo sottotitolo imposto dalla distribuzione per attirare un numero maggiore di fan al botteghino) inizia precisamente dove il terzo film si concludeva: il cadavere di Jason è steso nel fienile con un’accetta piantata nel cranio. Così questo film, da buon appartenente alla saga slasher più famosa del mondo, non fa altro che dare ai fan di Jason ciò che i fan vogliono, cioè ragazzi e ragazze in piena tempesta ormonale, letali bagni notturni nel lago e una serie di sanguinosi e brutali omicidi all’arma bianca. Purtroppo, però, giunti al quarto capitolo, si ha la sensazione di aver assistito per quattro volte allo stesso film: vittime tutte simili di episodio in episodio; stessa ambientazione per ogni film; sempre una bella ragazza bionda come unica superstite. I produttori avranno certamente pensato che “squadra che vince non si cambia”, ma bisogna anche considerare che questo quarto episodio per certi versi è davvero un “Capitolo finale”, dal momento che, a partire dal n°5, si tenterà di apportare innovazioni alla saga, anche se con scarso successo. Alla regia questa volta troviamo l’anonimo Joseph Zito, mentre gli effetti di make-up tornano, dopo un’assenza durata due episodi, al maestro Tom Savini. Tra il cast si può riconoscere un giovanissimo Corey Feldman, vero baby divo degli anni ’80 (tra i suoi film più noti “Ragazzi perduti” e “I Goonies”), nel ruolo di Tommy e Crispin Glover (la trilogia di “Ritorno al futuro”; “Charlie’s Angels”; “Willard”) nei panni di una delle vittime. “Venerdì 13 Parte 4” è forse il capitolo che comincia a mostrare la fiacchezza della saga di Jason, rivelandosi troppo simile ai tre film precedenti; però per ogni fan delle gesta del gigante con la maschera da hockey, rimane pur sempre una pellicola gustosa.

You got the curse?

Well we all thought Jason was dead, as he is here taken to the morgue after being mortally killed... But of course he revives and sets about establishing that he is in fact an indestructible killing machine. I wouldn't want to be living near Camp Crystal Lake right now...

In truth it's a good old 1980s slasher pic, but that doesn't necessarily make it worthy to anyone outside of the hardiest of hardest Friday13th franchise fans. The kills and gore quotient are high, bloody and gooey, with the kills not lacking for invention, but plot formula is tired and weary. Crispin Glover makes for something of a curio appearance in the piece, whilst a young Corey Feldman rocks up for a bit of Damien Thorn channelling.

Some series fans love it whilst others abhor it. Question is? We know it wasn't to be the final chapter after all, so how does it hold up against the others that would follow it down the bloody intestine strewn path?

Doesn't divert much from the formula of the first three films, but does add two new elements which I actually enjoyed. I am curious though, when they made this one, did they actually think that this was going to be the final chapter, or where they fully aware they were gonna keep beating that horse for decades to come?

Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.

Another entertaining sequel, better than Part III

The first two films are serious in nature with the expected antics of youths at camp, but the franchise introduced a campy element with Part III, which pretty much plagued the rest of the series until the reboot in 2009.

Released in 1984, "Part IV: The Final Chapter" is an exception as it thankfully omits the cartoonish elements of "Part III" and serves up another take on the same basic story. This time several youths go out to their parents' vacation home on Crystal Lake to party where they meet the sister & brother from a nearby house, Trish & Tommy Jarvis (Kimberly Beck and Corey Feldman). Then Jason attacks! There’s also someone at the lake hunting Jason for vengeance.

Like Part III, this film was shot on the West Coast instead of the East Coast, specifically Santa Clarita, CA, and nearby Topanga Canyon, which is 30 minutes south of Santa Clarita, as well as Zaca lake, about 150 miles northwest. The geography is obviously dryer and an all-around contrast to the first two films, but this won’t matter to most viewers.

As usual, the film features a nice assortment of females. This time out, there are no "minorities" like the previous movie; the ladies consist of five white girls and a winsome petite mother. Trish is my favorite, the best heroine yet (until the next film that is), followed by Samantha; but they all have their points of interest.

BOTTOM LINE: Despite its title, Part IV is far from the "Final Chapter." There would be four more sequels before the 80s even ran out! In any case, this is another entertaining segment in the series with a fresh assortment of characters and a new female protagonist. This sequel is notable for introducing the character of Tommy Jarvis and hinting at the lingering diabolic Voorhees spirit.

Like its predecessor, Part IV was shot in dry Southern Cal and Jason, with his iconic mask, is bigger and more imposing than in Part II. While the movie is a step up from Part III it's not as effective as the first two films, largely because of the uneventful mid-section and the rather lame portrayal of Jason in the last act, although his unmasked face is great.

The film runs 9l minutes and the uncut version 97 minutes.

GRADE: B-

Liked this one a bit more than the last time I saw it, a bit slow at times but, at least compared with Part III, better characters, but has some good and gnarly kills (one in particular when Jason comes out of the water). The biggest knock is the bad editing (one scene has Jason killing Crispin Glover in the kitchen and later the girl Glover slept with in the bedroom before a shot back in the kitchen) and poor continuity (the appearance of the family's dog was most noticeable). However, still found this entry entertaining enough. 3.25/5
