Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

New York has a new problem.

1989100 min4.9 / 10

A darkly comedic slasher that trades the franchise's forest setting for a cruise ship and New York City, balancing graphic kills with satirical B-movie energy.

Jason ships out aboard a teen-filled "love boat" bound for New York, which he soon transforms into the ultimate voyage of the damned.
