Hockey-masked psychopath Jason Vorhees (Ted White) is back in business at Camp Crystal Lake in the fourth (but far from final) installment of the popular, long-running horror series. As randy teens are slain one by one, Tommy (Corey Feldman) comes up with a plan to distract the killer. (official distributor synopsis)

The Final Chapter is a terribly stupid but relatively entertaining horror movie with a likably aberrant climax. But, again, it is catastrophically stupid. That said, it’s pleasantly perverse entertainment for highly uncritical gore fans.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is a classic sequel that doesn't have any groundbreaking ideas; it simply follows established tracks and continues to rely on the popular character of Jason, who kills without much deeper meaning. Don't look for any mythology in it; it's simply an effort to deliver to the audience what the previous installments did. The main question then ends up being whether anyone will survive.

More or less a standard slasher film somewhere on the level of the first installment. It has enjoyable bloody moments, and an often naked cast (Adam’s bathing pleases), but all in all, it is not any sort of revelation. Rather, at times I notice a bit of an aftertaste of routine without any passion. I feel like a social outcast, however, as I am not a gore fan (yet) and yet I enjoyed it (within reason). :)

After the first four episodes, I still don’t understand why Friday the 13th is such a famous franchise. The atmosphere and the cool killer are the only thing worth praise, but when it comes to the direction and the acting, every episode is worse than the previous one, to the point that I feel that even an amateur could make it with that budget. In the case of Final Chapter, the script doesn’t help, either, it’s almost surprisingly stupid and naive.
