10 More Horror Movies With The Worst Monster Reveal
5. Jason Voorhees - Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
In each Friday the 13th entry, the audience expects to see machete-wielding maniac Jason Voorhees slaughter everyone in his path in brutal and creative ways.
However, fans are also hoping to see something else; Jason's face. Although the zombie's visage has been seen several times, viewers are still curious to catch a glimpse behind Jason's mask, since he has a different design in each film.
Even though Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is garbage, some viewers stuck around to the end, hoping to see the titular villain's ugly mug. Sure enough, Jason's face is unveiled in the closing moments. And boy, is this design awful.
Lacking any facial expression, it appears as if the special effects team whipped up a facial covering in five minutes before shoving it on the actor's head. When Jason bashes into the wall, there's a close-up shot where it's painfully obvious his "face" is a mask.
What makes Jason's appearance more anticlimactic is the fact he looked fantastic in the previous instalment.
Friday the 13th: Part VII wasn't a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but Jason never looked better before or since.
Sadly, the same can't be said about this Jason Takes Manhattan disaster.
