12. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
Let’s start with what has got to be the worst of the franchise and the ultimate sign of a series that has run out of ideas. After dying yet again in the eighth movie, Jason Goes to Hell decides to go the possession route for some reason. In this one, Jason can apparently come back to life by possessing a victim and coming back through a member of his blood line. It’s pretty dumb and kind of a complicated way to bring Jason back, when audiences were really fine with Jason just straight up rising from the grave at the beginning of each movie because he's a zombie after all. The sequel is lacking many good kills and it just sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the series. Maybe a movie showing Jason literally going to hell and slashing the hell out of Satan and Hitler would have been cooler.
The movie also makes a weird decision to suddenly have Jason be super famous, appearing all over the TV and being hunted down by the FBI. This isn't exactly unrealistic, but part of why Jason is so cool and scary is that he's like an urban legend, something you tell a story about over the campfire and you wonder if he's still out there. This movie basically turns Jason into an average serial killer on the loose, which isn't nearly as interesting. The movie really doesn't fit in the franchise at all, and after this one, sending Jason to space was actually a breath of fresh air. Maybe having Jason literally go to hell and fight Satan would have been cooler.
