An American horror film directed by Adam Marcus. The ninth instalment in the Friday the 13th franchise, it was – like some of its predecessors – announced as the last in the series though it was eventually followed by two further films before the series was “rebooted” with the 2009 remake.
Plot Summary
Though apparently destroyed in a trap set by the military, Jason’s evil presence lives on and skips from victim to victim allowing Jason to continue his murder spree. A bounty hunter teams up with Jason’s sister and niece to finally lay the evil to rest once and for all.
