Why it’s HorroRated

The Final Chapter is the best of the early Friday sequels. Tom Savini comes back for the effects and delivers some of his most creative work. Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover give it more personality than the series usually has. It plays like an actual finale and is better for it.

Synopsis

A family renting near the lake ends up caught in Jason's return alongside a group of counselors from a nearby camp. Tom Savini comes back to handle the effects and delivers some of his most creative work. The film plays like an actual finale and is better for that commitment, even though the franchise had other ideas.
