Well everyone I'm traveling on the quest of possibly and hopefully finding the best Friday the 13th film, in the entire franchise and even though it's been a slow start out of watching the first three films on Peacock, but with luck on my side I was able to find the more Friday the 13th movies all on YouTube for FREE, though with ads as the obvious catch of the whole evil shenanigans. Staring a young Corey Feldman, before Gremlins and Goonies he was a young kid interested in special effects. Also starring Crispin Glover a year before he became famous for being Maty McFly's dad, George McFly moreover infamous for Hot Tube Time Machine in my opinion.
A carefree lakeside vacation is interrupted by the re-emergence of killer Jason Voorhees (Ted White). After he escapes the morgue, leaving bodies in his wake, Jason travels to camp Crystal Lake where a group of friends is staying. As a group of teenagers engages in drunken debauchery, their numbers begin to dwindle, and pieces of the past resurface.
Now I will argue and say that The Final Chapter is way better than the third film in the franchise granted there's some special moments in the third film such as the bikers that I regretfully didn't mention, and Jason finally getting his recognizable Hockey mask but I don't know, mainly the 3-D effects of the movie and one to many unlikable characters that turned me off, mainly though there's a lot of unlikeable characters but at least in the second film there were some decent characters. With this movie you do have some likeable characters such as the nice divorce mother and her kids, which in all fairness that's what you need at times with a kiss of some typical sluts especially one of them who is trying to seduce a boyfriend who's typically cheating on his girlfriend but realizes it's all wrong, then the slut is going after Crispin Glover and later is holding on to her panties which of course is comical because let’s be honest we can all agree men can be pigs but women at times can be sluts and with this film you have the best of both worlds. The interesting aspect is the Final Chapter came out in 1984 of the month of April and then about eight months later in 1984, we get Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street so when you think about the decade of slasher films Voorhees was being the top dog and later we'd all realizes that Freddy Kruger becomes competition for him for which we can all for see, would later in 2003 lead us to Freddy vs. Jason. Even though Corey Feldman was the youngest member in the entire cast, filled with partially naked women hanging around which you'd image if you were Feldman, he'd be thinking the set is paradise moreover beginning to realize he like girls. Though the coolest fact I found about the movie is actors Kimberly Beck who plays Feldman's oldest sister and Erich Anderson actually became good examples for him and covered his eyes from the nudity and during shooting in October took the young Feldman on a Halloween night out of trick or treating, for which let's be honest sure when you’re a teenager sure you'd want to have fun but when you got a young kid in the movie there comes a time when you have to be a better person as well as being a good example to the youth. All and all, I give this movie some credit this has a blend of both family togetherness although the mother strangely appears and disappears, the same with the family dog appears and then decides he just wants to get out of the movie (which I declare is a smart dog). So, getting back to topic this film has a good blend of family ties and teens making terrible choices which is always a great thing to have with the cheap scares and thrills but more importantly we get to see a creepy side of Corey Feldman that I never expected to see in this life time but still the film alone has it's good moments hell at least far better than the third film if you ask me.
