Friday The 13th: Part 4 - How do they keep it so fresh?

Basically... if you’re thinking of watching ‘Friday 13th: The Final Chapter’ (which you probably already know ISN’T the final chapter by a long shot) the only thing you need to know is that it’s pretty much the same as the three before it. So, if you liked them, then you’ll probably like this one, too.

Part 4 of any franchise is probably not a great place to start. Although, you probably won’t need to know much back story to ‘get’ what’s going on. As with the previous three instalments... a group of over-sexed teens go into the woods, only to be slaughtered by a masked killer.

Yes, Part 4 introduces a ‘child’ into the mix, but that’s about as different as we get here.
In summary, if you’re new to the franchise, start with Part 1 and, if you like that, carry on. Part 4 is the same thing.

Although... it may be worth giving this film an extra star (taking it up to four) based on Crispen Glover’s dance moves – seriously... it has to be seen to be believed.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
