Apparently not knowing, or caring, that dozens of other teens have been slaughtered there before, they begin their partying.<\/p>\n<p>For horror fans, there is comfort in this film. We know the youths will be killed- we just don&#8217;t know how or when. That&#8217;s the fun and beauty of it.<\/p>\n<p>Will someone be decapitated? Lose a limb? Will the murder weapon be an ax or a machete? Who will be the last remaining victim?<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of the twins is a nice touch, and a very young Crispin Glover appears.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of Corey Feldman to this one adds child feistiness. Otherwise, it&#8217;s pretty formulaic, and not much sets it apart from the others.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the franchise will love Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), all others stay away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter-1984 Director Joseph Zito Starring Kimberly Beck, Corey Feldman Scott&#8217;s Review #125 Reviewed July 21, 2014 Grade: B Being the 4th chapter in the popular Friday the 13th saga, and the shameless marketing of this installment as being the final chapter, obviously a fib since the ending of the film &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/?p=495\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter-1984<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,13,310],"tags":[10854,5576,1331,1332,10853,1557,10855,10852,1333,10856,6680,3370],"class_list":["post-495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1984-movie-reviews","category-horror-films","category-slasher-films","tag-barbara-howard","tag-bruce-mahler","tag-corey-feldman","tag-crispin-glover","tag-erich-anderson","tag-jason-voorhees","tag-joan-freeman","tag-joseph-zito","tag-kimberly-beck","tag-lawrence-monoson","tag-peter-barton","tag-tom-savini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=495"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23090,"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions\/23090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottsfilmreviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
