I rented this in high school not because I thought it would be any good or even because I thought it might scare me, but just out of some kind of loyalty to the series. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to see this thing through to the end. Wasn't scary in the least.

When the torch for Friday
the 13th was passed from Paramount to New Line in the early 90s,
the series had already gone from bad to worse before passing into Oh My God
That’s Terrible. Jason Goes to Hell: The
Final Friday pushes past the limits of “so bad it’s good” and falls into an
abyss I would like to call “so bad it has virtually no redeeming value and
should never have been considered and those responsible should lower their
heads in shame as they fall on their swords.” It takes the whole mythos of the
franchise, lights it on fire and then pisses on the ashes. It doesn’t even have
the redeeming value of being movie at whose shortcomings you can laugh.
