Friday 13th - Part IV

                                                                   

 

 

    "Jason seeks revenge....revenge he will continue to seek if any-one enters wilderness."

 

The film, like the previous installment, picks up right where the third film left off. Jason is presumed dead ant taken to the local county morgue. However no sooner is he settling down with the dead than he's up and about, disposing of a few hospital personnel before making the journey back home.....back to Crystal Lake.

Back at the Lake we home in on the Jarvis family, consisting of mum, daughter and 12 year old Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman). The house next door provides a home full of teenagers who move in for a little summer fun. The young Tommy however is the star of the show, a horror aficionado with a special talent for masks and make up, and watching the highly sexed teenagers frolicking in their birthday suits. As Jason brandishes many weapons in his remorseless quest to wreak vengeance on the inhabitants of Lake Crystal, it is Tommy who manages to end this current bloodbath by tapping into Jason's childhood memories and attacking him when his defences are down. He does this by making himself look like Jason as a boy, and for one moment we witness something I thought I would never see - a look of humanity in Jason's eyes.
