Very enjoyable, further adventure of hockey mask wearing, unstoppable serial butcher, Jason Vorhees. Jason is being studied at a government facility in the 21st century. After some murderous mayhem, he is cryogenically frozen along with one of the doctors studying him. Flash forward to the 25th century where another research team find the two iced over specimens and take them aboard their vehicle and rocket off back to their space habitat. Eventually the doctor is revived and warns that it is best to leave Jason on ice as once he is active, all proverbial Hell will break loose. Accidents happen and Jason comes back to life and starts systematically murdering whoever he comes into contact with. You know the story.
Interesting reconfiguring of the death defying Beast in a new environment, namely, The Future, and the application of science fiction concepts of nanobots, virtual reality and high tech havoc raising.
Wes Craven, creator of Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream directed this ’80’s science fiction horror film for television. The money must have been right. The movie is a clear cut example of good folk versus evil folk and it has a somewhat annoying 1980’s sheen to it. Robert Urich relocates his family to his new work site and residence. It turns out that the influencers in the community all belong to a fashionable country club. Low and behold, the country club harbors a malignant force that guarantees success or failure in the suburban, gated community that the family moves to. Play Satan’s game or pay, essentially.
The science fiction element to this melodramatic farce includes a space suit Urich is working on that can detect non human life forms and withstand extreme temperatures. See where this is leading to? It is also equipped with a powerful laser weapon. Unfortunately, it is not used enough in the bizarro conclusion to this film. It has to be seen to be believed. Brings back memories of “House of Evil” (1978).
Good time waster, I guess. Craven cashed out bigtime!
A varied collection of unusual movie and music video clips.
