Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984, Joseph Zito)

"The Final Chapter" marks the introduction of Tommy Jarvis, who would go on to be one of the main focal points of the next two sequels. So, I guess this was suppose to be the last one, though - goddammit! They just kept making money! Yeah, this one would've worked just fine as the final installment since they came up with one of the most spectacular Jason deaths and closed out with a freaky Cory Feldman glare.

Premise: more drunk kids. Then they die.

I don't mind "part 4". It's not my favorite, but it's got it's moments - like Crispen Glover's wacky dance. That was alright. Some tits here n' there and the fat banana eating hitch-hiker hippie getting knifed from behind. The banana-squeeze made the entire scene hilarious. On that note, 4 could've used a few more 'inventive' kill scenes, especially since they got Tom Savini back for effects. Even after seeing the death scenes uncut, I wasn't all that impressed. The doctor getting his neck hacksawed then his head twisted was BY FAR the standout demise (other than Jason's). That's about all I got on this one...
