Surprisingly good. I know everyone hates this one, but I guess the previous film was so bad that I managed to enjoy Jason Goes to Hell. I was really afraid after the experience of Jason Takes Manhattan, but this one overcame my expectations — that were super low — but anyway, a fun movie.

Jason is dead in the ending of the last film? Yes, but he is in every other movie of the franchise too, so that didn’t bother me. With that said the opening sequence is cool! It subverts our expectations and presents something new, Jason is really “killed”. Well, at least his body is destroyed.

Bringing the idea of Jason never really dying, but passing on his soul, his evil essence to some other receptacle seem it the next right move to the franchise.

Although the argument of the script is good, I don’t think it was well developed. Some things happen just for some random reason and we get no explanation whatsoever.

Creighton Duke, the bounty hunter, mysteriously knows everything about Jason’s origin, his family and how to kill him. Jason having a sister is something that doesn’t make much sense, but I can live with. She's a bit annoying and in the scenes of combat she is stupid.

I kind of liked the score and how Jason's look is in this one, really gory.

One aspect I really enjoyed about Jason Goes To Hell is its pacing. This is one of the best in the series to do this: I didn’t “feel” the movie hours passing through. I just started watching and then realised the movie was about to end. Well done.

Cool ending with Freddy taking Jason’s mask hinting the plans for a crossover.

@ivcente 100% agree. Just finished this, it was a fun watch. Takes Manhattan was so boring and this was the complete opposite. I think when you're on part 9 of a movie franchise life this it's okay to not just change the formula but throw it out entirely. Did not expect to enjoy this one so much.
