Barbara Howard would - she's a good girl like that - so we will go with this old favorite tonight...

I really love this fourth entry in the series. I enjoy all of the first four - but the original and this one might be the top two...I don't know...ask me on successive days and you might hear different answers.
But this one is really well done. Director Joseph Zito knocks it out of the park, as does his cast and crew.
Jason's back at the lake, this time menacing a rented house full of partying teens and catching the neighbors - a single mom family next door - as potential collateral damage. Add in the brother of a previous victim hunting Jason and Crispin Glover's dance moves - and you have an evening's entertainment.
Mention must be made of the makeup effects from a returning Tom Savini - and the uncredited performance of an stuntman and actor not thrilled by the job - other than the paycheck - back in the day but much more willing to meet up with the movie's fans at various horror conventions these days...

I have a couple of DVD editions of this movie, so one is always close at hand if you'd like to come check it out with me - even tonight!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
Almost the "The Final Chapter".
ReplyDeleteWell, they only got another 8 movies out of the franchise, so it was ALMOST "The Final Chapter..."
ReplyDeleteGreat choice - and I fully agree, this and the first film are the best... and this one might edge it slightly on the style and bonkers kills. Saying that, none of the sequels managed to match the atmosphere of the original, something it doesn't get praise for very often.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree - the first film has that "something" - a feeling of dread and lots of atmosphere - and none of the slicker, higher budgeted, obviously supported by a studio sequels ever matched that.
DeleteA damn great four-quel. Didn't like it much at first, but it keeps getting better and better with every single watch
ReplyDeleteI have to agree - and I liked it from the get go - a viewing in Chicago Illinois just hours after meeting Tom Savini!
DeleteWow! Well, at least I've seen it on the big screen a couple of years ago, double feature with "Freddy vs Jason".
