JASON GOES TO HELL SYNOPSIS:
The meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams.
Fame makes monkeys of us all.
After dying, coming back, taking Manhattan and dying again, Jason Voorhees is now back as a body snatcher in Jason Goes to Hell, an impossibly fun slice of campy supernatural slasher action!
Jason Voorhees is finally dead! Or is he? After being blown to smithereens in a sting operation, the infamous killer's body is taken to the morgue in Youngstown, Ohio. But Jason can't be killed so easily, and his still-beating heart possesses the body of the coroner performing his autopsy. The now body-hopping Jason begins hacking and slashing his way back to his stomping ground of Crystal Lake, where his last living relatives, Diana, her daughter Jessica and her newborn baby Stephanie still reside. Only by them can he be truly killed, and only through them can he be reborn, and Jason is determined to return to full power. Can the last remaining Voorheeses survive long enough to finally send Jason to hell for good?
Featuring fan favourite Kane Hodder as Jason and spectacular special effects by industry legends Howard Berger, Robert Kurtzman and Greg Nicotero of KNB EFX Group, Jason Goes to Hell is a madcap entry in one of the most lasting and entertaining franchises of all time!
OUR FILM REVIEW
This is a title that fans will absolutely gravitate towards, as this 4K scan absolutely pops off the screen. The featured grain is much tighter and less noisy in the final product, as well as the coloring being noticeably more refined with it's extraordinarily vivid execution. Comparatively to previous Friday the 13th outings, Goes to Hell takes some crazy risks as far as the gore and kills go and the 4K UHD upgrade rewards that.
The film has it's share of dark, ominous locals, but the enhanced quality of the film adds a great deal of depth to the atmosphere. Similar praise can be rained upon the audio as the DTS-HD MA 5.1 and 2.0 audio options available for both cuts of the film, which the inclusion of both the theatrical and unrated in 4K glory is enough reason to buy, buy, buy this new set.
The gruesome slaughtering, dismembering and all around slashing-good time that Jason is having, makes it difficult not to notice the massive improvements. That's not even mentioning the loaded special features available this time around...
