Watch Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter For Free

Great Film overall

Excellent but underrated film

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

My top 1 best favorite film of all time ever. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter is my all time personal favorite horror slasher 80's film it is the best one it is my number one favorite Friday the 13th film this is a great slasher horror film. Kimberly Beck was a bad-ass hottie sexy girl, I love her so much. Trish Jarvis is my favorite number 1 final girl and the best heroine of all Friday the 13th films. Ted White is the best Jason Voorhees In my opinion! Jason is a ruthless killing menacing machine in this one and Ted White acted like the role was written on his skin, he had a heart to play the character. I love, love, love it so much I love it! Ted White is my number one favorite Jason of them all. Kimberly Beck, Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover made this film work for me. This is Joseph Zito's best film he ever made, beside The Prowler and Invasion U.S.A. it is my favorite Joseph Zito film. Special makeup effects artist was Larry Carr, Tom Savini and Kevin Yagher who were practical special effects. No CGI no shaky cam I love all gory and practical effects used in this film. Tom Savini made with his effects a great death scenes that hold even today. There was a beautiful jump scene trough window in which the main heroine fall's down. It has beautiful cast: I love the twins Camilla and Carey More as Tina and Terri. I love Barbara Howard as Sara so much I felt bad for her. I love Judie Aronson from American Ninja as Samantha. I love Crispin Glover as Jimmy Mortimer and his dance moves. I love Lawrence Monoson as Ted. I love the song played in the film Love Is a Lie by Lion. I love the atmosphere and setting about this film. I love everyone in this film. I love Sara, Sam and of course Jimmy I love the cast, the setting. Joseph Zito directed great. My favorite death scene Is Paul been stabbed in the groin with a harpoon gun excellent scene.I enjoy this movie much you have beautiful cast in here you have a lot's of nudity, great gory and bloody scenes, great kills great heroes. I just love this film to death from setting from acting from jokes everything I love in this film.Corey Feldman is great as Tommy Jarvis the main hero in this film this is his best film. I love him in The Lost Boys and in this film he was fantastic. Kimberly Beck as Trish Jarvis was excellent in my opinion really excellent I love her so much in here. Crispin Glover was great before he went to star a year later in Back to the Future (1985) my all time favorite film. Erich Anderson as Rob did a good job as the guy who want's to avenge his sister death.The Final Chapter is well-paced and well-acted, fit with campy dialogue, bloody deaths, and nudity galore. The Final Chapter ties the original run of the series together well, and is the last Jason entry that can really be taken seriously. This movie get's my Bad-Ass Seal Of Approval 10/10 this movies are great I love this film to death I love it I highly recommend it to the fans.

Friday the 13th The Final Chapter is the slasher movie of the 80's, there are other greats but none hold a candle to this film. It is the perfect combination of every aspect of the slasher genre and it's by far the best Friday the 13th film. Part 3 laid the path for what Jason would become and where the series would go, and The Final Chapter solidified all that and built off of the groundwork of the 3rd installment. The surrounding cast in the Final Chapter are easily some of the best in the franchise, each with their own distinct personality traits that help contribute the movie. From the greaser wannabe Teddy to the painfully awkward acting of Crispin Glover this movie nails it with the teens. Corey Feldman as Tommy is a lot of fun as well, he becomes Jason's main foe and it's pretty obvious early on that the two are going to come face to face at the end and when that finally happens it blows past your expectations, this is the best final sequence of any Friday film. Not only do you care for Tommy but you care for his sister Trish who even though she makes typical bad decisions that are always present in slasher films, she really is trying her best to protect her brother from the menacing Jason.Jason Voorhees in this movie is incredible, never before had he been as evil feeling as he is in the Final Chapter. The way he moves and stalks, and the last half hour he is unstoppable, busting through windows and walls, I feel when watching him in this movie he is truly on a mission to kill everyone around him and nothing is going to stop him, he almost has a gangster sort of appeal to him and that could be due to the veteran actor who played him, also the tension there was on set between Jason and the director Joseph Zito. I believe that this is the last time we see Jason truly as a living person who has yet to die, obviously in films to follow he took on a more zombie aspect as he continually is resurrected from the dead in unrealistic ways, but that's what makes it fun. The look of Jason is very similar to the 3rd movie, this is the case obviously because this takes place directly following the ending sequence of Part 3, unmasked Jason does look different but it's for the better, this is the best Jason make-up of the first five films. Jason as usual kills people using some unique instruments and obviously some familiar ones as well.The special effects in the movie are outstanding, done by the great Tom Savini whom most horror fans will know and love. With less restrictions and worries about rating the kills would have been far more brutal than they already are, plus the final battle with Jason has one of the better effects to be seen in horror. Legend has it Tom Savini came back to the franchise after being absent in the last two for one reason, kill Jason Voorhees, and even though we would see Jason in 8 more movies, Tom was successful in his endeavor, he put the nail in the coffin on the hockey masked foe once and for all! As I mentioned earlier Jason is resurrected in every movie that he actually appears in following part 4. So hats off to Tom Savini, one of, if not the greatest special effects artist in horror.I have a very hard time finding things wrong with this one, it is a great improvement coming off of part 3, its score is improved, the kills are better, Jason is at his best, and it's simply a great 80's slasher which is crazy considering it's the fourth one in the franchise. Not to mention I think it still really holds up today, if you turn off the lights and turn up the surround sound this movie will make you jump, and of course make you not want to go camping for a while. This is important considering pretty much every 80's horror movie is great, but very laughable to the standards of today. I'm glad that Friday the 13th the Final Chapter didn't hold true to its name, but if it had it would have saved us all from the atrocities Jason Goes to Hell, and gave Jason Voorhees and Camp Blood a very proper send off.

'Friday the 13th' may have been panned by critics when first released but since then it is one of the most famous and influential horror films, the franchise containing one of horror's most iconic villains. The film is popular enough to become a franchise and spawn several sequels of varying quality and generally inferior to the one that started it all of.Liked the first two 'Friday the 13th' films, despite not exactly considering them great. Had mixed feelings on the third film, but it is one of the more watchable follow-ups. This fourth instalment for me is the second best of the sequels, and although one knows that it was not the 'Final Chapter', the general consensus is that it should have been and that there was no need for the rest. Have to completely agree with this, to me 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter' was the last average and above of the series. It may not be a great film, neither were the previous three. The story is paper thin and there is not much new. Again, while actually the best acted film of the whole series, some of the acting is far from what one would call good. The dialogue, as can be expected (the 'Friday the 13th' films are not to be seen for the script), is awfully crude, cheesy and simplistic, and most of the characters are as dim-witted and underdeveloped as ever (though other sequels did this aspect far worse). There is some unintentional humour here and there that dissipates at times the generally very well done atmosphere.However, there are three performances that are actually the best of the whole series. Corey Feldman in his prime is appealing, showing that it was a shame that his personal life went as down the toilet in the way that it did since. Crispin Glover is lots of fun in his role and Ted White is one of the scariest Jasons.Visually, 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter' has grit and professionalism and the effects and make-up are simply terrific and steal the show even more than Jason. There is plenty of suspense and tension that was missing in the third film, with a return to deaths and moments that are creative and unsettling. The film contains the best ending of the series, certainly of the sequels, truly nightmarish. There is far less padding too. Overall, decent, one of the series' best and the last one to be average or above. 6/10 Bethany Cox

After a brief diversion to clear out/escape from the nearest morgue, Jason returns from his machete-assisted hibernation to resume slicing and dicing the denizens of Crystal Lake. This time we shake up the formula a bit, introducing a relatively innocent single-parent family to the mix, though the vacationing kids across the street are more than happy to continue with the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll that's so familiar. It's a grab bag, really, a bunch of randomly-associated (or, often, not associated whatsoever) snippets that float around in the wash and occasionally bump into one another. I found it curious to spot a few name actors in the crowd this time: Crispin Glover is his usual awkward self and Corey Feldman plays the same mouthy, bratty kid you might expect given his early '80s stardom. Kevin Bacon's appearance in the first film may have set this stage, but it's still a little strange to see recognizable faces in the midst of such a transparent, genre-specific story, especially when one of them suddenly catches a grievous head wound near the climax. Every bit as indulgently gore-soaked, under-written and simple-minded as the previous chapter, with an even looser grasp on reality. It's roll-your-eyes bad, but not quite change-the-channel bad.
