Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday Blu-ray offers solid video and decent audio in this fan-pleasing Blu-ray release
Jason's evil spirit finds its way into a series of host bodies, thus continuing the carnage at Crystal Lake, where Jason confronts a long-lost sister.
For more about Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday Blu-ray release, see Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on October 22, 2020 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5.
Note that the unrated cut includes missing footage. Shout! Factory is offering a replacement. Please click here for more on how to receive the corrected disc.
Scream Factory via Shout! Factory has released the 1993 Horror franchise film 'Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday' to Blu-ray with a 1080p
transfer and
a pair of lossless soundtrack options. Several supplements are included as well, carrying over the scant
extras from Warner Brothers' disc found in the 2013 collection and adding plenty of new ones. It is
currently only available in the exciting, and limited, Friday the 13th Collection which includes all 12 films featuring killer Jason
Voorhees as well as two bonus discs.
Jason (Kane Hodder) is lured into a trap and blown to bits by a squad of sharpshooters. While the pieces are studied by a medical examiner
(Richard Gant), the heart begins to beat on its own. It calls to the man, seizes his mind, and he ravenously consumes it. Now, Jason's soul possesses
his body and a new string of murders follow. The once-deceased Jason's whereabouts become a national sensation. A TV tabloid show offers bounty
hunter Creighton Duke (Steven Williams) half a million dollars to prove Jason's existence and put him out of commission for good. Duke knows
something about the legend and lore behind the mask and the evil soul that is now being transferred from one unwilling host to another: only a
Voorhees
can kill the monster, and only a special dagger can be used. Will a hero or heroine appear in time before the killer is fully reborn?
For a full film review, please see Michael Reuben's writing accompanying the 2013 disc here.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday features a soft but fairly impressive 1080p transfer. The image has a nice and functional look about it,
though there are a few points of struggle. A
fine grain structure accompanies, which never really fluctuates in density. But the the image is not always in top form. A lengthy nighttime outdoor
scene in chapter five struggles to maintain crisp definition and organic texturing, appearing processed and fuzzy, not to mention plagued by black crush.
Much of the picture runs flat but not fully devoid of texture. Essentials are intact and the image is more or less proficient in all ways but not at all
visually exciting or robust.
Core textures are not very complex, like clothes and faces, but they are stable and consistent. The picture is so dark when Jason makes a rare
appearance that it's hard to see the
mangled flesh and gore behind the mask. The gory effect are otherwise fairly stout (and are some of the most grotesque in the series). Colors fall
more on the drab side of the ledger,
perhaps even more dull than the texture. There's little feel for tonal robustness, leaving even the most colorful hues more lifeless than lively. The movie
features a
boring aesthetic and a boring, but competent for the source, Blu-ray transfer. It's easily the most uninteresting of the first nine.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, like its predecessors, includes both DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
soundtracks. Neither presentation really impresses, though the 5.1 track enjoys a healthier balance and sense of immersion. The 2.0 track struggles to
keep up in terms of overall sound element clarity, but it's very aggressive, loud, and capable, even at the low end, such as when the heart thumps
during the autopsy near film's start. The 5.1 experience is fuller with more opportunity for stage engagement and sound element finesse and clarity.
Music is
smoother and richer in 5.1, more stout in 2.0. Dialogue is sometimes shallow; listen to the interview with Creighton Duke at the 19-minute mark. It's
flat in 5.1, poorly imaged and hushed in 2.0. The same can be said of another dialogue scene at a diner counter around the 23:45 mark. Both tracks
are proficient for crude engagement and sound detail, but the 5.1 track enjoys superior presentation quality standards.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday includes two cuts of the film: Theatrical (1:27:47) and Unrated (1:30:38). Both appear on their own
Blu-ray discs. This is mostly new content.

Additional TV Footage (480i, 4x3, 12:35 total runtime): With NEW! optional commentary by Director Adam Marcus.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday works with some interesting ideas but diverges from formula so far that it understandably split the
fanbase. There's more lore here than anywhere else in the franchise beyond the first two films, and kudos to Marcus for trying something that might not
have pleased everyone but does shine a new light on the character and the story around him. New Line would attempt to resurrect Jason one last time
in Jason X, which was also a radical departure in some ways but at least
more or less true to the formula at its core. The Blu-ray's video quality is fine if nothing of note and the audio track is not in top form, either.
Shout! Factory has included a very good selection of extras across the two disc set; everything with Adam Marcus is a must watch or listen.
