SPOILER ALERT!!!
So at this point in the franchise we think that Jason is dead and we see his body being taken to the morgue where he is put in "cold storage" but the door is not shut properly. by this point f you look carefully you can see Jason breathing and obviously he escapes and kills the mortician and a nurse. this is the set up for the rest of the movie. Thinking that Crystal Lake is now safe a group of teens move in next to a family of three. now let's just say the family are the only characters in the franchise so far that I've thought "Man, i hope they don't die". Anyway Jason has returned and is slaughtering these teens and the family's mum. There is a man who is looking for Jason as he killed his sister Sandra from the second movie. He is shortly killed though. So now the only two left are Trish and Tommy (The teenager and kid from the family) and they barricade themselves in but the protection of the house doesn't last long as a body is thrown through the window (JASON, STOP THROWING DEAD BODIES THROUGH PEOPLE'S WINDOWS! IT'S RUDE!). Trish goes off to fight Jason telling her brother to run as soon as she lures him away. Successfully luring him away there's the whole typical "is he dead yet" parts and she returns to the house and hears Tommy's voice as he did not run away. Jason soon follows in and attacks her until Tommy runs downstairs with his his head shaved showing a likeliness to Jason as a child. Jason begins walking towards him feeling very confused giving Trish time to swing the machete but he turns around at the last minute and it takes his mask off showing his real face which is really creepy. terrified by his face Trish begins backing away and Tommy grabs the discarded machete and stabs him in the head with it making Jason fall to the floor. Now we have our lovey brother sister scene where they hug each other because they're so happy to be alive but Tommy notices Jason's hand move and starts hacking away at him shouting "DIE DIE DIE". Time skip and Trish is in hospital asking to see her brother, the doctor tells her only for a moment and they hug tightly but just before the credits Tommy opens his eyes and gives a very sinister look. DUN DUN DUUUUUN!
Can we just take a moment here to contemplate the fact this is called "The Final chapter" yest i'm supposed to be watching "A New Beginning" tomorrow. Okay, now that's been said let's talk about this movie. This one was a lot more gory than the others, you saw a lot more blood and a lot more bodies, i like this in a horror and yet it's still not reverted to cheap jump scares. This definitely held my attention the whole way through and as i mentioned, i actually found characters i didn't want to die. I think it really redeems the franchise after Part III which was really quite shit. I really enjoyed it and i'm super curious about how they carry on after this.
****
4/5 stars!!!
