Friday the 13th: How To Fix Jason Goes To Hell's Biggest Mistakes


https://screenrant.com/friday-13th-jason-hell-movie-mistakes-solutions-explained/

Widely considered the worst movie in the Friday the 13th franchise, Jason Goes to Hell has numerous glaring errors that could easily be fixed — here's how. Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth installment in the series and was directed by Adam Marcus and produced by Sean S. Cunningham, the director of the original Friday the 13th movie. With a highly convoluted plot that totally retcons Jason’s backstory and the events of the movies that came before it, Jason Goes to Hell tried a lot of new things, but ultimately fell flat.

The movie follows Jason Voorhees as his body is completely destroyed by the FBI. Afterward, his spirit inhabits the bodies of several people as he makes his way back to Crystal Lake in search of his sister’s family so he can be fully reborn in a body that shares his bloodline. However, most of the movie focuses on the husband of Jason’s niece, Steven Freeman, who sees his mother-in-law killed in front of him and has to figure out how to fight Jason in order to protect his wife and infant daughter.

Jason Goes to Hell’s biggest downfall is a desire to do too much and change too many aspects of the traditional Friday the 13th formula. One or two changes might have worked, but there’s just too much going on in this movie. So, what could Jason Goes to Hell have changed that might have ultimately made the movie a success?
