Critics Consensus

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday nobly attempts to reinvigorate the franchise's mythology, only to be dragged down by generic slasher tropes, shoddy production, and incoherent plotting.

We've got a character-rich ensemble cast, classic notions of undying evil and an in-your-face display of horrific effects considerably more inventive than the usual hack-and-slash of Fridays past.

"Jason Goes to Hell" emerges as the best of a bad lot of sequels.

Let's just say the movie goes to hell long before Jason does.

Not a worthy sendoff for the beloved Jason Voorhees.

For best results, catch this eccentric tango with evil in a theatre crowded with shrieking teenagers and others not too hung up on serious plot development and high art.

By the time we get to the sequel set-up, we've seen Jason in more pieces than a puzzle, but the true puzzle is why anyone would still be interested in a monster with no motive, mission or imagination. The only thing this guy truly kills nowadays is time.

She Hasn't Had the Taste of the Duke Yet This movie is very over the top. I really liked the first 10 minutes, but after that, things get ridiculous. It makes no logical sense, and I have no idea how Jason is alive after the last movie, but I guess none of that matters. My biggest issue is that Jason isn't really in the movie. It's his spirit taking over people. I actually like the idea, but this is a Jason movie. I want Jason! The movie is bloody, explosive, and completely over the top. The cheesy 90s action music is ridiculous and kind of annoying. The tent scene is absolutely wild. Also, why are they in Ohio? I honestly lost interest halfway through. If Jason was actually in the movie, I think I would have enjoyed it much more. This might be the worst one in the series for me.

This is definitely one of the most divisive films I’ve seen. Everyone either loves it or hates it, with little to no in between. I’m one of those in between people. This movie works for what it is, and I appreciate them for wanting to try something new. Every Friday until this had a pretty similar premise, Jason, horny teens, and gore. This movie obviously has that too, what Friday doesn’t, but the whole possession idea is kinda neat in my eyes. It could’ve worked out better than it did, but i think it’s fine. Jason’s design at the beginning and end of the film is killer, up there as one of the best. This movie also has some amazing kills! Definitely the best in the franchise for me. This movie is dragged down by the fact Jason isn’t really here, but I think this would be up there as one of the best Fridays if the writing was a bit better and we got to see more Jason on screen. If you’re looking for something new, I’d suggest giving this movie a chance.
