10 Horror Movies Everyone Wished Were Way Crazier
9. Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
When any film includes the words "Part VIII" in its title, it's probably a good indication to turn around and leave the cinema.
In 1989's Jason Takes Manhattan, series antagonist Jason Voorhees finds himself in the Big Apple. How did he get there? Who cares! It's Jason Voorhees in New York! This has to be a good time, right?
Wrong.
See, the tragic thing about this movie (apart from all the bloody, violent deaths) is that the legendary baddie doesn't actually turn up in The City That Never Sleeps until well over halfway into the film.
For the first hour or so, he's pratting about on a boat, murdering wannabe rock stars and boxers that nobody could possibly care about. Just get to The Empire State Building already!
Oh wait, nevermind, because even when they do get into NYC, they don't go near any of the famous landmarks! Most of the action takes place in a network of sewers, which could have been in literally any other city on the planet!
It's clear that the title of this film was just a way to grab people's attention. Those expecting a blood-soaked romp through the great city will be sorely disappointed.
