Movie Reviews

Not as bad as the title suggests

Not really taking Manhattan, because the majority of the movie is set on a ship... but it's fun. It's just an average sequel, nothing really memorable except some ship action and the last 30 minutes of Manhattan. The last one from the 80s, where they all should be.

Jason on a ship good but Manhattan? too much

An underwater power cable gets damaged and reanimates Jason from the bottom of the lake. He follows the waters until he hitches a ride on a cruise ship hired for a graduating high school class. There he finds a whole new set of young people to slice and dice.The cast and characters are mostly unknowns and forgettable. Peter Mark Richman is probably the most recognizable as teacher Charles McCulloch. The good part is that the kids mostly look like kids. Killing them is slightly more fascinating than the older 'college' kids from the other movies.Going all the way to Manhattan is a mistake. It takes a workable horror premise into silly camp territory. This gets really campy with the ruffians in the crumpling docks. That's the point where the whole endeavor completely collapses. The rest of the Manhattan stuff is just a waste of time.
