This film totally blew me away! After watching the rather dull and boring Part 7, and having read that this was worse, my hopes weren't too high. I couldn't have been more wrong!
This film is, in my opinion, one of the best in the series. The acting is good, Jason looks great, it has some funny moments, likable characters, and the story also introduced a much-needed change: Jason leaving Crystal Lake - although this can be seen as both good and bad, I think it was a good idea just for this one movie. I hope he returns of course.
The film's duration is also unusually long, I think it lasts for over one and a half hour.
The only let-downs in this installment is an INCREDIBLY lame throat-slashing scene (minor), and a weak ending (major). This is why I give it 8 out of 10 and not the top-score.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did!
