Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan
I can only imagine what you're thinking by this title. And to answer you question, yes, it is as corny as it sounds. Jason in New york is a good idea, but he's only in the city for like 20 minuets. The rest of the movie takes place on a boat. All right, here's the scoop; a bunch of graduating seniors from Crystal Lake take a voyage to New York, and Jason tags along. Only 5 people actually make it to the city. I guess it is a fresh idea to give the series a little variety, but it's kinda odd. It was more funny than scary. I give it a 2.5 out of 5.
