FRIDAY THE 13TH: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN - Something rotten in the Big Apple

by desslok desslok is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Jun 09 '08
Pros: Some funny bits when Jason actually gets to New York.
Cons: The movie just ain't no damn good!
And so what started in 1980 as a runaway hit slowly grinds to a halt in 1989 as we see the release of Friday the 13th VII: Jason Takes Manhattan, the last of the Jason movies under the Paramount banner. We start off with two teens making sweet, ...

Jason Takes Manhattan: That Sinking Feeling…

by dbcint , Apr 29 '06
Pros: There aren’t any
Cons: The film’s riddled with ‘em
The Grim Reaper aside, Jason Voorhees would have to be one of the most recognizable symbols of death. Jason and his mother have been hacking their way through teens for so long, the hockey mask has become engrained in the minds of all those who follow ...

Heroine: "There's a maniac trying to kill us!"Unsurprised Patron: "Welcome to New York."That line is a good indicator that Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is trying to say there are ...

So Jason Doesn't Exactly "Take" Manhattan - Big Deal!

by lazario , Dec 06 '05
Pros: Majorly improved acting, intensely plotted and edited,
Cons: None
People really didn't get this movie. I don't know why. First of all, if you go to any movie expecting something - you're a fool. It's a fact of life. Secondly, nobody seems the least bit grateful that ticket prices back when this was released ...

Poor Jason...

Pros: Some good scenes in New York.
Cons: Rest of the film sinks just like the ship.

Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

by brodieman , Jun 25 '01
Pros: Hmmm...something approaching originality
Cons: But oh how very, very little
Although not as scary as The Muppets visit to the eponymous big city in 1984, the eighth installment in the Friday series can at least boast something a little different. But, sadly (and perhaps unsurprisingly) it really isn't much.

Title is a...

Jason goes to Manhattan!

by moviebuff88 , Sep 23 '05
Pros: Good gore, and acting. Plus this ones really funny.
Cons: No T&A, and at some points its gets a little fake.
When I was about fourteen, I remember renting it one night with some freinds. Now at that time I would have definetly gave it five stars, but now I am only giving it four, because I have noiticed that there are some parts that are just a little too ...

Why does 90% of this movie take place on a boat?

by JP2497 , Sep 16 '00
Pros: The parts in New York were pretty good
Cons: Too much time on the boat, VERY poor Special FX
I mean, it is called Jason Takes Manhattan, right? Well, the truth is, we don't see New York until there's about 20 minutes left in the film.

The majority of the movie takes place on the Lazarus, a small cruise ship that a...

Friday 8: They Could have done better!!!

by evilghost , May 04 '00
Pros: a couple interesting deaths save this one
Cons: bad writing and filming
I had such high hopes for this film. I was so happy with the sixth sequel I was sure part VIII would be a smash. But I was wrong.

Jason Takes Manhattan had a story that could of been good but, unfortunately, through bad film...

A good idea, but Jason cant survive New York

by Augdawg , Sep 30 '00
Pros: Jason is Back in Town
Cons: No Delivery at all, and it's choke time!
This movie in the series came at a time when I was fading from the Horror movie section, so I didn't actually see it until a couple of months ago. I can honestly say that this was a good idea, but it did not meet expectations. Basically, Jason grabs...

When is Part 134 Coming Out?!

by tygress18 , Oct 13 '00
Pros: It was part of the Friday the 13th series.
Cons: The movie was just plain bad.
Is it just me, or has this Jason saga gone too far? This latest movie finds our killer in New York, chasing a girl who is somehow related to him. This is bad people, real bad. If you saw some maniac chasing a young girl down the crowded streets of...
