IF JASON STILL HAUNTS YOU, YOU’RE NOT ALONE!

Tommy Jarvis (John Shepard) is now a teenager, but his encounter with Jason Vorhees has turned him into a mental wreck; he checks into an open rehab facility, but then the murders start again.

The fifth chapter moves a few years into the future; Jason may be dead, but everything feels like normal (unfortunately). When it comes to the identity of this new killer, few will care.

Shepard is way too dull, but the final sequence does offer a psychologically interesting twist.

1985-U.S. 102 min. Color. Directed by Danny Steinmann. Cast: John Shepard (Tommy Jarvis), Melanie Kinnaman (Pam), Shavar Ross (Reggie), Richard Young, Carol Lacatell, Corey Parker… Corey Feldman.
