As the 1980's came to and end, the fickle nature of horror sequels almost died at the Box Office. By 1989, there was Dominique Othenin-Girard's "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers", (only released on VHS in Australia); and "A nightmare on Elm Street Part 5: The Dream Child", (directed by Stephen Hopkins). Writer/director Rob Hedden decided that Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), would go on a cruise ship to Manhattan, New York, to attack more teenagers...and counsellors. For me, Part VIII is weaker than Part V, (that's because it isn't set in Camp Crystal Lake).

The Shape, (Don Shanks), continues to attack his niece Jamie Lloyd, (Danielle Harris), from Part 4. Dominique Othenin-Girard's "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers", as Doctor Sam Loomis, (Donald Pleasance), struggles to stop the killer. The movie is scarier than "Friday the 13th Part VIII"...only just.***
Part VIII begins with Jim Miller, (Todd Shaffer), who tells his girlfriend Suzi Donaldson, (Tiffany Paulsen), about Jason Voorhees. When Jason comes back from the dead and attacks them on a boat, he then hops aboard a ship bound for New York that's full of teenagers and their teachers. It is the longest "Friday the 13th" movie at 100 minutes, (but that doesn't mean that it's easily watchable in case you're bored easily).
