Jason (Kane Hodder) is
awakened from under the lake when a grad
student and his girlfriend anchors his
boat at the Camp Crystal Lake and touches
a thick electricity wire which shocks
Jason back to life. He kills the two
couple in the boat and then the boat
starts going into a river with Jason in
it. The boat leads to an ocean where a
ship is heading to the big apple with a
bunch of students. Jason hitches a ride
on the ship and massacres a bunch of
people on it. One of them by the name of
Rennie Wickham (Jensen Daggett) is seeing
images of Jason Voorhees as when he was a
corpse as a child in the lake. He ends up
tormenting her and doesn't know why. Her,
and her uncle Charles (Peter Mark
Richman) who is the head teacher of his
students and a few of the other survivors
escape from the ship during a thunder
storm in an emergency row-boat going to
the big apple. But what they didn't
realise is that Jason's on their tail.
Eventually Rennie remembers her childhood
experience at Crystal Lake when her uncle
Charles were in a row boat in the lake.
He forced his niece to learn how to swim
as Jason's corpse pulled her down deeper
into the water but he saved her in time
from drowning. This drives her to put a
final stop to Jason once and for all..
Most of this was
filmed in my hometown of Vancouver, B.C.,
Canada including the first bit of Camp
Crystal Lake and made on a bit of a
bigger budget but all you Jason fans may
be a little upset of this one as it only
shows Jason at Crystal Lake in the very
beginning and most of it is on the cruise
ship. Still it's well done. And the
scenewhere it shows the subway in NY was
really filmed in Vancouver and it's a
skytrain that's in a tunnel. One of the
people that I worked with at my
manufacturing job did some of the
costume's for the film and apparently
claimed that Kane Hodder (Jason) liked
her. This was filmed in 3-D during it's
theatrical release. The film is very
adventurous.
The acting is
quite good. Lots of the stars in this
were from Vancouver so it gave them a
chance to show their stuff.
Jensen Daggett does well as the
lead character in the film knowing how to
pull her weight with it and showing tough
energy too while trying to escape from
Jason.
Scott Reeves seemed quite
charming with his role as the nice
highschool heartthrob in this film and
has the right attitude to play this type
of a character.
Peter Mark Richman played a
perfect dickhead principal. He's often
played these types of roles in other
shows too but is a worthy versatile
actor.
Sharlene Martin played a nice
bitch in the film reminding you of one of
those popular pretty girls in school that
likes to use others cause she can.
Gordon Currie seemed to do well
as a preppie type of student filmmaker as
he had the right looks for it.
Vincent Craig Dupree is
believeably tough and outgoing as a
student boxer in the film and seems to
pack quite a bunch with his role.
Saffron Henderson's role wasn't
as big as most of the other actors but
she stood out terrifically as a rocker in
the film.
We have a Vancouver supporting actress
during the beginning of this film named Tiffany
Paulsen who was hopeless in her role
as a student celebrating her grad year in
a boat at Crystal Lake. A total BOMB
A person is burned
to death by a hot rock in a sauna
A guy is stabbed hanging on an equipment
of the ship
A guys head is punched off.
Rob Hedden
is very cheesy with his direction in this
flick since he wrote it too but has some
good stuff as well. Great shots of
Manhattan and the going ons around
there.
There's a cheap shot on the set which is
supposed to look like Camp Crystal Lake
but you can tell its a set shown at a
lake not looking like a real camp.
We have a cheesy dialogue sequence
between supporting actors Todd
Caldecott and Tiffany Paulsen
as two teens partying in their boat at
Crystal Lake which doesn't seem
believeable. However there is a nice
cheesy tale told by Caldecott on
what happened there about Jason and his
mother.
There's a nice dark shot on the lake with
bit part child actor Tim Mirkovich
as young Jason drowning during a
flashback sequence but he doesn't make
his part believeable by drowning.
A good shot on Caldecott scaring
Paulsen wearing a hockey mask in the
boat.
There's a scene with Kane Hodder as
Jason in for the kill on the boat which
looked impressive as well as a good shot
on Paulsen escaping from a
window of the boat. But when Paulsen
screams when she is caught and about to
be killed looked extremely phony.
A cheesy direction on supporting actor Alex
Diakun as a crazed Deckhand towards Scott
Reeves telling him he's doomed
if he boards the ship as it almost seemed
to come off as Crazy Ralph like but
misses by a longshot.
A nice dialogue between Saffron
Henderson and Martin Cummins
on the cruise ship telling him that one
of the students is a user to stay away
from which was at a good pace.
Henderson does well at faking
her guitar playing for a camcorder
shooting.
A good shot on Hodder picking up
the guitar later on inside the ship and
swinging it.
A nice setting with Sharlene Martin and
Kelly Hu about to do cocaine andJensen
Daggett enters causing a jump
from the two of them.
A good susepecting reaction on Peter
Mark Richman when he approaches
later on asking them if they're doing
drugs.
We have a phony moment with Martin
bumping Daggett off the
boat and into the water. You can also
tell that it's a studio too.
There's a good direction with Martin trying
to come on to Richman as if
you'd wonder that he'd give in to her
lustful deeds while it shows Cummins
videotaping this.
Richman does well acting all
choked up telling them that the two of
them are going to fail.
A good shot on Cummins in a
basement somewhere in the ship with a
shot of steam blowing in his head and
losing his glasses as he shows a good
dizzy expression during this moment along
with a nice blurry shot of Hodder
standing in front of him.
Martin was phony with her
reactions when Hodder attacks her in the
bathroom.
There's a nice shot on a cruise ship
window with Jensen Daggett in
her room with her dog. We also have a
good hallucination sequence with her
staring at her bathroom window and child
actor Mirkovich calling for
help inside the wondow as well as him
grabbing her. There's also a good shot on
Hodder's hand crashing through
the window and grabbing her neck.
A good dialogue between Warren Munson
and Fred Henderson driving the
ship with Munson giving advice
about having kids.
A perfect reaction on Vincent Craig
Dupree telling Richman
off about the dead bodies are for real
when he says there's no such thing as
walking corpses and to get away before
they're next.
Nice foggy shots on a rowboat with people
like Daggett, Richman, Reeves
and Dupree on board. They do
well when they cheer after spotting that
they made it to New York.
A nice shot on Hodder rising up
from the ocean to enter New York as well
as a good shot of him looking at a pic of
a goalie wearing a hockey mask.
A nice direction with Daggett being
kidnapped by supporting actors Sam
Sarker and Michael Benyaer
and drugging her with heroin along with
good shots on Hodder entering and killing
them including a brutal shot on him
stabbing one of them with the heroin
needle.
Daggett does well by acting
intoxicated and warning the other that
Jason is in NY with them.
A nice
performance by Dupree
constalntly
punching Hodder in his hockey
mask on top of a buidling as he reacts
well to being tired and breahtes out his
words later to tell him to hit him with
his best shot.
I liked Hedden's direction
with Jensen driving at full
speed in a car about to run over Mirkovich
standing there in the road
A nice flashback sequence with Richman
in a row boat with child supporting
actress Amber Pawlick at Crystal
Lake and trying to scare her to go in the
water or Jason will come and get her
which is disturbing to watch on an
innocent little girl.
Perfect chase scene's with Reeves
and Dagget away from Hodder
like at a subway or around the city.
Of course the near ending when the toxic
waster was heading towards Hodder in a
sewage system was very effective too when
you hear his child sounds saying
"Mommy please don't let me
drown!" while Reeves and Daggett
were trying to climb up a ladder.
Hedden also directed TV show "Friday
the 13th: The Series" which
had no relationship to the Jason series.
This time the music was
composed by Fred Mollin and not Harry
Manfredini who helped Harry
in the previous sequel with the music and
sound effects. He does just a good job in
this one as he makes the music sound very
different
There are also great rockin
& stompin songtracks by various
artists like "The Darkest Side of
the Night" by Metropolis,
"Say This to Me" by Neo a4,
"Broken Dream" byTerry
Crawford, "Stalker's
Rocker" by Steve Linn & Tim
Yalda and "Strike" by The
Koo.
