Rennie Wickham, senior de secundaria, está en el viaje de su vida – y posiblemente su muerte – cuando ella y sus compañeros toman un crucero de graduación con destino a la ciudad de Nueva York. Poco saben que el asesino en serie enloquecido Jason es un polizón que transforma rápidamente la celebración del 'barco del amor' llena de adolescentes en el último viaje de los condenados! Solo unos pocos sobrevivientes llegan a Nueva York, donde el sangriento desenfrenamiento se derrama en las calles y subterráneas de Manhattan en un juego mortal de escondite – que lleva a una confrontación tóxica con Jason por última vez. (Paramount Pictures España)

Although logic waves goodbye to the film off right from the get-go, Jason's Adventure No.8 is quite entertaining, especially considering the previous installment. Jason once again proves to be a conscious killer of people with a sense of ideas and fun, which can be appreciated especially in the first half on the boat. As we hit the streets of NY City, the pace eases up and the rest is just a sleepy wait for the end, which offers nothing new under the darkened night moon. Hopefully, at least the thoughtful look at the hockey billboard will stay in my memory longer.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan isn't fundamentally a strong entry in the series; it rather falls into mediocrity, mainly because it's not as fresh as it initially appears. I see the problem also lies in the fact that the gore in comparison to the first and second films is really lacking and quite poor here. In this regard, there's essentially no variability, and the film drowns in murders that sometimes hint at originality but are executed in a way that reduces them to mere ticking off of names.
