Nice! It has been a long time coming, but it looks like one of horror's most underappreciated sequels JASON GOES TO HELL is getting an all-new, in-depth feature-length retrospective documentary!
The film is called THE DARK HEART OF JASON VOORHEES: THE MAKING OF THE FINAL FRIDAY and will feature a never-before-seen in-depth look at the film through interviews and behind the scenes details. On top of that, the film will feature as of yet unannounced "genre greats, both who were in the film and not," weighing in on the movie.
The documentary is directed by Nick Hunt (SAFE PLACE) with JGTH director Adam Marcus producing alongside Johnny Macabre (DON'T F*CK IN THE WOODS, CREPITUS) and Joe Quintanilla (FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3: THE MEMORIAM DOCUMENTARY).
Below you can find quotes from JASON GOES TO HELL director Adam Marcus regarding the new film, along with a quote from the documentary's director Nick Hunt.
Adam Marcus on the film:
I am thrilled to have been approached by Nick Hunt and Black Heart Productions to tell the story of the making of Jason Goes to Hell. I’m looking forward to getting the chance to illustrate the journey of my first film and to hopefully set the record straight on all the controversies surrounding the movie. I can say for myself and my Skeleton Crew partners, Debra Sullivan and Bryan Sexton that we are ‘happier than a little girl in a pink dress pushing a hot dog through a donut’ to be collaborating with Nick and Black Heart to bring this documentary to life.
Director Nick Hunt:
Jason Goes to Hell to me has always been the most highly debated upon, the most unique and the most ballsy of any of the other Friday the 13th films to come to fruition. I always felt it was misunderstood and that people didn’t know the entire story behind it; the people that put their blood, sweat, and tears into it. And now it’s coming up on its 25th Anniversary and I want to show it the love it deserves, the fans the appreciation they deserve and hopefully make something unique and special for all the franchise fans.
