Story Summary:
By Heather Buckley
Friday The 13th Part IX: Jason Goes To Hell (1993)
Director: Adam Marcus
Writers: Story: Jay Huguely & Adam Marcus; Screenplay: Dean Lorey & Jay Huguely
They brought back the big guns for this one. Produced by series originator Sean S. Cunningham, Jason Goes to Hell brings us a new combination, Jason Voorhees plus The Hidden-like parasite monster of evil. Should Cronenberg have sued?
The film opens with an FBI set-up, trapping Jason (Kane Hodder) and then blowing him not quite to hell (yet). His bits end up at the morgue where the Corner (Richard Gant) takes a big bloody bite of Jason’s heart, transferring the evil to himself and then going on a kill-crazy-rampage.
Bounty Hunter, Creighton Duke (Steven Williams) then enlists Jason’s sister, Jessica (Kari Keegan) to find him and end these shenanigans once and for all because only a Voorhees can kill a Vorhees. Throughout the film Jason’s essence gets passed around like a Henry Manfridini scored version of hot potato; that is if the potato was gooey parasite that crawled from one’s host mouth to another. Raimi’s Book of the Dead gets a cameo in this film, as well as Freddy’s claw (played by Hodder).
This figure was released as part of the third wave of Mezco Toyz' Cinema Of Fear action figure collection. |
