    Friday the 13th, Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

    In this underwhelming addition to the Friday the 13th franchise the indestructible psycho-fiend Jason Vorhees is revived by an underwater electrical cable and heads for New York City aboard a teen-filled “love boat” pleasure cruiser, which he transforms into the ultimate voyage of the damned.

    It’s fun seeing the hockey-masked murderer stalking rat-infested mean streets instead of leafy glades, but this crisply photographed scare-fest surprisingly doesn’t milk the new location for extra added chills.

    Jason is overcome by toxic waste in Manhattan’s sewers . . . because everybody knows toxic waste gets flushed through the sewers every night in NY!
