A carefree lakeside vacation is interrupted by the re-emergence of killer Jason Voorhees (Ted White). After he escapes from a morgue, leaving bodies in his wake, Jason travels to Camp Crystal Lake where a group of friends is staying. The teens meet some locals: Tommy (Corey Feldman) and Trish (Kimberly Beck), as well as secretive hiker Rob (Erich Anderson). As the group of teenagers engages in drunken debauchery, their numbers begin to dwindle, and pieces of the past resurface. Read More Read Less

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As lumberingly single-minded as its homicidal star, Friday the 13th - The Final Chapter adds another rote entry to an increasingly labored franchise.

Jeremiah Kipp

Slant Magazine

This one certainly felt as if it properly closed out the Friday the 13th series before it devolved into unadulterated camp.

Rated: 2.5/4

Opening line of film -- 'I don't want to scare anyone, but Jason is still out there' -- is film's only laugh.

New York Times

A promise is a promise, or at least it ought to be. But despite its title, Friday the 13th - The Final Chapter shows no signs of being the last in its none-too-illustrious line.

Common Sense Media

There's nothing groundbreaking, but many agree it does (slightly) raise the bar on the previous two sequels at least.

Alan French

Sunshine State Cineplex

With Jason's highlight kills, extremely proficient filmmaking, and the most enjoyable side-characters of the series, Part IV ranks among the most enjoyable slashers of all time.

Rated: 8/10

The Final Chapter has the added bonus of providing a truly nightmarish climax that Is by far the best facet of any of the sequels to date.

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Ethan G "The Final Chapter" offers standard slasher camp, which is more than I can say about its predecessor, at least. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review giulio m very nice (fake) ending for the series and good kills from jason but this film its just sex and blood. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Alessandro G Definetely insteresting, the story is the one that makes the most sense among the first 5 films. It does not, continue on the work of the 2nd film regarding comedy. The highlights of the experience were the extravagant kills.
