Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) – The Black Sheep

After seven entries, it was time to take Jason Voorhees out of Camp Crystal Lake, and what better place to put him than “The Big Apple.” Jason Takes Manhattan or Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (WATCH IT HERE – OWN IT HERE) was the series trying to stay fresh, yet bombed at the box office, was hated by fans, and currently sits with a twelve percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Is it possible that Jason Takes Manhattan is a misunderstood sequel and embodies everything that makes the Friday The 13th series so fun? Absolutely! And we’re here to tell you why on this episode of The Black Sheep.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is written and directed by Rob Hedden. Starring Kane Hodder, Todd Caldecott, Jensen Daggett, and Peter Mark Richman, the film has the following synopsis:

A boatful of graduating high school students headed to Manhattan accidentally pull Jason Voorhees along for the ride.
