Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was allegedly a comic book that bridged the gap between Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) and this film. It followed Jason after he was dipped in toxic waste in a New York City sewer, walked his way back to Crystal Lake. It also explains why the FBI has a task force specifically for Jason. However, producer Sean S. Cunningham and director Adam Marcus have stated that they made Jason Goes to Hell as a follow-up to the original Friday the 13th (1980), and mostly ignored everything from Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) to Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989).
- Goofs(at around 1h 9 mins) When Jessica first picks up the note out of the box crib, it says "I have what you want...", when Steven reads the note, it says "I have your baby..."

Featured review
Cheap, predictable slasher stuff that is rubbish but naturally par for the course for the series
A SWAT operation finally succeeds in trapping Jason in the glare of spotlights and, over hundred direct hits and one large explosion later, he is dead and the scattered remains taken to the morgue. Sadly, when the technician looks at Jason's heart, he becomes possessed with the spirit of Voorhees and has soon murdered a member of staff and two security workers. Creighton Duke offers to kill him once and for all for the price of $500,000 and uses the fact that he believes Jason will return for Jessica Kimble as bait.
If you have seen one of these films then you have pretty much seen them all something demonstrated by this entry in the series (depressingly number 9) which has nothing to make it stand out among the bucket load of cheap slasher horrors that clutter the video stores and late night cable stations of the world. Here the plot sees Jason's spirit jump around bodies imagine Fallen but without any effort, imagination or actual tension and you'll get the idea. The action is just a series of sudden jump frights, some gore and a series of gory and predictable killings on the way to the ending (which we know will not be the final ending to the series). It is as cheap and nasty as it sounds and has no value in any regard.
The cast are as basic as the vehicle demands. Williams is darkly funny at least but LeMay is a standard "weeky geek" that the genre often has and most of the females are mere seconds from coldly getting down to their pants to provide as much nudity as is needed to please teenage boys if only some of it was actually sexy then it might have worked. Overall this is a poor slasher movie, but then I think that most of them are. The fact that Jason is hardly in it (as a physical presence) will mean that even fans of his will wonder what is going on because, without the masked character, this becomes even more pointless and cheap than the rest of the series.
