Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

“New York has a new problem.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Jason takes an unusually long boat trip before making good on the Manhattan part of the title. The familiar slasher routines acquire a few spectacular urban moments, but the travel arrangements are considerably more generous than the destination time.
