Ranking All Friday The 13th Final Girls From Worst To Best

10. Rowan LaFontaine - Jason X

Jason X is certainly a unique beast in the pantheon of Friday the 13th pictures, with its futuristic sci-fi setting marking it out as nothing if not distinctive.

One other element that marks Jason X out as a rare horror film, is in how it actually features an iconic villain locked up by the government.

As this 2001 picture opens, we find a landscape where Jason Voorhees is captured by the US government and held at the Crystal Lake Research Facility. With several attempts to kill Jason having failed, scientist Rowan LaFontaine (Lexa Doig) makes the decision to cryogenically freeze Voorhees.

Things all take a turn for the worse, mind, when Jason kills a bunch of soldiers (and David Cronenberg!), stabs Rowan, and both our hero and villain end up frozen in time... allowing us to jump ahead 445 years to a spaceship that defrosts this pair.

Rowan ranks low on this list because, quite frankly, she spent years trying to kill Jason and constantly failed. It's only with the help of advanced future technology that she finally manages to get the job done, and even then she required help from a bunch of other scientists and an android.
