Having been revived at the hospital jason returns to crystal lake to meet more victims. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Kimberly Beck Wayne Grace Run time: 91 minutes Rating: R Director: Joseph Zito
Amateur butcher and enthusiastic hockey fan Jason Vorhees is back in business, and business is good. Can a plucky young boy stop the madness before Camp Crystal Lake's population report takes yet another machete-aided dip? The stalk-and-slash formula was pretty narcoleptic by this point, but this otherwise humdrum entry is distinguished by some unusual casting choices (Crispin Glover as a stud in training? Corey Feldman as a genius?) and the splattery return of makeup master Tom Savini. The fact that this installment was titled The Final Chapter may seem to contradict the existence of the numerous sequels that followed, but it's not as if logic was ever this series' strong point to begin with. --Andrew Wright

Friday the 13th Part 4 is an awesome movie with a lot more to offer than part 1, 2, and 3, its got more T/A, more gore, more campy acting and most importantly more jason!
Plot- Jasons back but has he met hit match, a group of friends camp out near camp crystal lake, while a family who live there (Funny thing is they dont even know about jason and have lived there for so long), are getting ready to go to turn in for the night and the party dies down, the massacre begins!
Acting- on a par with part 1's acting, quite bad, which made it even more fun!
Gore- a saw slits ones throat and then the same guy has his head twisted around, a knife to the stomach, a meat cleaver to the face, a corkscrew to the hand, a knife through the neck, a knife through the stomach,a spear to the groin, a crushed face, a machete to the face which ends up sliding up so his beains can get cut when the victim falls to the floor and more
Bottom Line 4 out of 5
Rated R/ Time 91min/1984/ Color

Released in 1984, "The Final Chapter" (aka Part 4) was arguably the darkest and scariest of the Jason Voorhees slasher atrocities. *Many fans like Part 2 better, finding it more creepy. Whatever. It's a toss up, imo.
STORY:
Picking up where Part 3 ended.... Presumed dead when found in a barn, the huge masked killer is carted away to a hospital morgue. Pity two employees there that night. Jason escapes and walks back towards his stomping grounds, Crystal Lake, and he murders anyone he sees on his way back home.
The Jarvis Family of three lives near the lake and the son Tommy (played by Corey Feldman) is an amateur maker of horror masks. (A shame that doesn't figure in better with the plot).
Six teenagers come to a nearby house for a weekend party, and among them is Jimbo (played by Crispin Glover, son of Bond villain Bruce Glover) and Crispin's dance scene is hilarious! The other guy who turns off the rock record, interrupting that funny dance, well, for that he deserves to die ...and he does.
Tommy and his big sister Trish take on Jason when the horror hits too close to home.
Note: There is nudity and f words.
- Oh, and JASON RUNS!
Reasonably, this film rates as an 8. Whereas the creative kill effects are a 10.

FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER DVD
***** Out of 5
In recent years DVD releases have started to get really lame; so called SE DVDs is anything, but that. Even Blu-ray releases aren't always so excellent either. Of all the DVDs and Blu-ray's I own most of the weakest releases are always from Paramount and their releases of the Friday the 13th movies are terrible. With the Deluxe Edition DVDs and Blu-ray releases, Paramount has slightly made up for their horrible releases of the series. But The Final Chapter was an excellent release and quite honestly one of my favorite DVDs that I own.
AUDIO COMMENTARY- Joseph Zito, Barney Cohen, Joel Goodman
Solid track, which is the standard commentary track, but it is informative and a good listen, but the 2nd audio track was better; but like I said this was a good track.
AUDIO COMMENTARY- Adam Green & Joe Lynch
Adam Green is of course the writer/director of Hatchet and Joe Lynch the director of Wrong Turn 2 and these two are truly a blast to listen to. Like all of us they are fans of the movie and it's just a blast listening to these guys talk about the movie; they have fun with the movie and have a few jokes about the movie, but not in an insulting way. Like I said, like all of us Green and Lynch are fans and it's sort of like hanging out with a couple of friends and watching the movie. I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of a fan commentary, but it turned out to be possibly the best part of the disc. Both Green and Lynch are horror geeks and it's so much fun listening to them go on about the movie.
LOST TALES FROM CAMP BLOOD PART IV 6:19
Directed by Andrew Ceperley and like the others I found this enjoyable; while it's nothing amazing, it is fun for the most part. This may not be the strongest feature on the disc, but makes for a decent filler.
SLASHED SCENES 15:17
This is a collection of alternate footage that features extra gore, but you can see the cast and crew so it's not the typical alternate footage. There is also no audio, since the track was lost, but director Joseph Zito provides commentary on it. This was an excellent feature and this alone makes the disc more than worth a purchase.
JASONS UNLUCKY DAY: 25-YEARS AFTER FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER- 11:02
This features interviews with many members of the cast and crew and while it's pretty much the same stuff we've heard in the past it's still a very solid feature.
THE LOST ENDING 3:19
Like Slashed Scenes there is no audio, but commentary is provided by Joseph Zito and Kimberly Beck; despite no audio there are subtitles provided. This was really great to finally see; I'm not sure if it would have worked in the film itself. But once again this disc provides the goods.
THE CRYSTAL LAKE MASSACRE REVISITED PART 1 18:05
This is a really fun feature, which is a spoof on the series; it centers on people who live around Crystal Lake and they discuss the legend of Jason; this feature is rather silly, but it's also very funny; keep a watch for the names horror fans and Friday fans should pick up on them; Director Stuart Gordon appears as Shelly' father; Shelly of course being from Friday the 13th Part 3. This one is just silly fun and another excellent feature. This was directed by Daniel Farrands the writer of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.
JIMMY'S DEAD DANCE MOVES 2:06
Commentary is provided by Joseph Zito and once again we have another winner; this was a really fun feature and I'm sure fans of this movie will love it.
THEATRICAL TRALIER 1:54
No need to explain this.
TRANSFER
All the prior releases of The Final Chapter were quite poor with a lot of grain and dirt; to be honest the past DVD releases were slightly better than a re-mastered VHS and at times the quality was no better than a VHS. To be honest the only reason to buy the DVD is for the Widescreen; if not for that the DVD wasn't an upgrade over the VHS for the most part.
Of all the DVD release for the Friday the 13th movies The Final Chapter was the worst transfer. Forget the features for a moment the picture quality alone is worth the price of the disc. This transfer is far better than the lousy releases in the past; while there is still obviously some grain and dirt this transfer looks amazing and far sharper than the prior releases.
The colors are sharp and the movie looks brand new. This DVD was re-mastered in High Definition and it just looks amazing. Sometimes these movies are too cleaned up and they lose their low budget charm, but that doesn't happen here. But the picture is sharp and spot on; the past releases were horrible, but this DVD is top notch.
The scene where Jason kills Doug was horrible in the original release; the POV shots are so grainy and it just simply looked horrible and plus the light was turned off, but yet it was still bright in the room. That problem is gone on this transfer. The original release the picture quality was terrible, but this new DVD gets it all right and the movie looks amazing and brings a new layer to the movie;
AUDIO
The new 5.1 Surround sound was alright; to be honest on this release and the Blu-ray releases for the first 3 I have preferred the original Mono track. The 5.1 sounds great in terms of music, but I wasn't too fond of the dialogue. It didn't sound bad or anything, but I didn't really like it all that much. Again it sounds good, but I preferred the original Mono track.
FINAL WORDS ON THE DISC
I'm sure many will wait for a Blu-ray release, but the DVD is very worthy. Due to the age of the film and the Blu-ray will be taken from the same source when the Blu-ray does come out it really won't look that much better and odds are the extras will be the same. But if anyone is hesitant on picking this up due to Paramount's track record I can faithfully say Paramount did right this time; this is one of the few releases that is worthy of being called a Special Edition (or in this case Deluxe Edition). The only thing really missing is the TV scenes that were included on the Crystal Lake to Manhattan set. But it's really not a big deal. This disc is jam packed with solid extras and has a great transfer and is highly worth the upgrade.

This DVD is an essential buy for any FT13 fan simply just for the cut scenes on it.
There is almost 20 minutes of deleted scenes and effects test footage in the DVD - and the previously lost ending. This is what the FT13 box set should of had on it.
