Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Vancouver... um I mean Manhattan. AKA Jason Goes Out for a Slice. Okay, so this rowdy outing for our rotting hockey-masked big boy was not his best but people do not give this film enough credit. While it may not be the scariest of the bunch it definitely has enough weirdness and (perhaps unintentional) humor to keep you entertained. I mean, Jason literally punches a guy's head off and kicks a pack of hoodlums in the boombox. My one gripe with the film is that they got the final girl all wrong. Despite having all these murdery visions and whatnot final girl Rennie was kinda boring. She's like a grown-up Tommy Jarvis-lite. I would've preferred guitar wielding rocker chick JJ. Not only does she have great hair she could've wielded her axe (ie: guitar) as a deadly weapon. That would've taken the film to a whole other level.
