10 Trash Horror Movies With 1 Amazing Kill

4. Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday - Jason Voorhees

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday Jason Voorhees
New Line Cinema

The Friday the 13th franchise has some truly rough movie amongst its ranks, but none are as outright awful as Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.

Hitting the silver screen in 1993, this was the first Friday picture to be put out after New Line Cinema picked up the rights to the series. Given how New Line was famously dubbed "the house that Freddy built", the endgame of this feature was to eventually tease the butting of heads of Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. While that tease did indeed happen in Jason Goes to Hell's final moments, the rest of the movie was a total slog.

Of course, this is infamously the F13 movie that only actually had the physical form of Jason on-screen for a cumulative ten minutes or so. Bizarrely, the decision was made to have the spirit of Voorhees pass from person-to-person, with said 'passing' happening when a new body eats a turd-like parasite that houses the essence of Crystal Lake's most iconic of sons.

Still, the opening five minutes of The Final Friday did manage to give audiences one of the greatest moments and kills in the franchise. With Jason duped into attacking a defenceless, isolated pretty young woman, a chase between the two figures reveals that said pretty young thing is an FBI Agent, and Crystal Lake is loaded with explosives and a S.W.A.T. team that combine to blow Voorhees into a million pieces.
