Story
This film like the previous installment picks up right where Part 3 left off. Jason presumed dead is taken to the county morgue for examination. Is he finally dead? I don't think so and we see Jason quickly dispose of a few hospital personnel as he leaves a trail of bloodshed on his way back CAMP BLOOD.
Up at Crystal Lake, we find the Jarvis family enjoying the luxury of country living, when a group of six teenagers move in next door for the summer. The table had been set for Jason to rid the world of these transgressors by any means necessary, but this time around, he had a new and more power nemesis, Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman). Young Tommy, a horror aficionado and young sfx phenom, uses newspaper clippings he had gotten from a man you had been tracking killer to make himself look like a young Jason Voorhees. This way he is able to tap into Jason "inner child" much the same way Ginny (Amy Steele) did in Part 2 and when his defenses were down, Tommy tries to bring an end Jason. Could it really be the "Final Chapter" in the Friday the 13th series??? Or just a new beginning as Tommy taking over as the reigns as the "King of all Slasher"???
Whoever thought this was the "Final Chapter" was a fool. It was just a marketing ploy to get people back into the theater hoping to see the death of Jason. Tom Savini rejoins the crew to add in his own personal brand of bloodletting. He was a major plus for me in the success of this film and truly the only man that could ever be brought in to kill off Jason. The short lived experiment of trying to take the Friday the 13th series in another direction ended with the atrocious Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. The "public" wanted and demanded Jason's return and that would finally come after a one movie hiatus.
