With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises. Granted, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure, Jason has always held a soft spot in my heart among the horror icons. With a new film seemingly in development hell, there is a bright spot with the fan made 'Never Hike Alone', currently in production. However, there's 12 other feature films that have been released since 1980 and I thought it might be fun to rank them, according to which ones I consider to be the best. So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....
Number 9) Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
Another trick, used in the horror genre, when you've kind of run out of ideas. Take your main character and put them into a new environment. In this case, New York. While the concept works pretty well, when Jason is ACTUALLY in New York, the other 80% of the movie is spent on a boat. I get that it's hard to make a lower budget horror film in a big city, but think that through before committing to the idea. 3 out of 5 stars.
