The premise

After his revival in a hospital morgue, Jason fixes his vengeful attention on the Jarvis family and a group of hitherto carefree teenagers.

Horror Vault's take

The fourth installment in the Friday the 13th franchise picks up immediately where the last left off, with the seemingly unstoppable Jason Voorhees finding his way back to the woods surrounding Crystal Lake. A neighboring group of fun-seeking teenagers and the Jarvis family — including a young boy with a fascination for horror — soon find themselves squarely in his path. Director Joseph Zito ratchets up the tension and the body count, delivering one of the series' most relentless entries. Iconic makeup effects from Tom Savini give the kills an unflinching visceral punch.
