Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan Reviews |
Essentially this is a Jason movie and it can still be enjoyed. There's a classic fight scene on the roof and a hilarious scene where Jason destroys a radio and the hoodlums that had been listening to it threaten Jason with a knife. [read review] --Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
...director Rob Hedden does find ways to make Jason, by now a force of little mystery, interesting, bestowing upon him supernatural abilities such as appearing by will. But there's nothing here to warrant more than a viewing. [read review] 42/100 --Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
Decently directed follow-up isn't the best sequel but at least it's watchable. ... Forget your logic, guffaw at the cheesy boxing moment, just groan at the bad Jason make-up and be mildly entertained - I was. [read review]  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
I think the director wanted us to see that Jason wasn't just a mindless killing machine but a hurt angry child underneath. Altogether I think this is a great movie, not the best, but definitely not the worst. [read review]  -- (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
The series really started to bite bad with this one. [read review] -- (eSplatter.com)
