Jason Goes To Hell 4K UHD (Arrow)

[FlamedLiquid]

Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X are the only Friday the 13th titles I have that I haven't upgraded my dvds of so I'll gladly buy both in 4k

[Powellj1408]

Yeah, that woulda kicked ass

It's just another variation of the cover that was done for the 2009 remake 4K.

They are set in the same universe.

Im in the minority, I actually like Jason Takes Manhattan alot more. But all in all, looking forward to this.

Jason Takes Manhattan > Jason X > New Blood > Jason Goes to Hell

Is this only going to be a Limited Edition like 2009 was?

Man, I just want a basic release that has Arrow's great features and of course, the unrated cut in full HD. Here in the UK, I just put together a custom boxset and I've had to use the JGTH R-Rated Blu (on the same disc as Jason X) and the old 4:3 open matte Pathe DVD for the unrated JGTH cut.

The original unrated My Bloody Valentine is just beautifully cruel if you have somehow missed that. Maniac might also be a fit for you, original is best but the remake is also nice and nasty.

Also The Burning.

I'll be that guy and say I couldn't care less about that cover because I'm waiting for standard editions of whatever F13's Arrow put's out and I'll just flip it to the theatrical art when I have them. It's not like I'm going to buy all of them anyway.

Don't worry, you won't have to die on that hill alone, my friend.

I really liked Halloween 3, but I would say it's an apples and oranges comparison to other Halloween films.

If you enjoyed that you'd probably enjoy more of Tom Savini's work (personally I think some of his best effects work is in The Prowler) but he did other slashers like The Burning, Maniac and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. He did some great work in other horror (non-slasher) films like Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Creepshow and Deathdream.

Blood Rage is another insane slasher with some pretty gnarly gore effects. My Bloody Valentine also has some fantastic effects. Just make sure you watch the unrated version and not the R-rated cut. Pieces is another one worth checking out.

It's still a Halloween film as far as the season goes and very much feels like a Carpenter movie.

Yeah Halloween 1-3 really have that late '70s/early '80s Carpenter vibe about them that's lost in the later sequels.

[LeDroitDeTuer]

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I've already seen most of these (Pieces is another favorite, not just for the gore but also due to the extra Juan Piquer Simon crazy touch), but I think I need to revisit The Burning and Maniac since it's been years and I don't think I've seen them in HD, and I've never seen My Bloody Valentine or Blood Rage.

This is like saying you prefer The Exorcist over The Godfather. Halloween III is it's own thing. If it hadn't been called Halloween III, the film would've been considered a classic. Halloween 4 comes closest, IMO, the replicating the feel of the original. The only thing that separates it from the previous two is the narrower aspect ratio and late 80's aesthetics. Jason Goes To Hell also "suffers" from a departure in tone due to the time it was made and the fact it was made by a different studio but it's still the last 'Friday' film that feels like it could've been made in the 80's. It's not a perfect film by any stretch but there's enough to enjoy in it. I also don't get why it's disliked so much.

Oh man, you owe it to yourself to pick up the UHD of Maniac. They finally located the 16mm OCN after being lost for decades and the difference between the new restoration and the older BDs/DVDs is night and day.

Back when I had basic cable, I remember seeing a cut-to-ribbons version of this on BET, or all places. I have no idea why, but then, I don’t remember anything about the movie either.
