Well, at least you can't blame them for trying something different. Trying once again to put a twist on the series, this one goes a step higher then part 8 by placing Jason not in the Big Apple, but rather outer fucking space!! Yes, I said outer space, an idea that I thought was horrible when I first heard of it a year or two back and, after seeing the film, still stand firmly by that thought. Jason Voorhees has been caught by the government and is being studied for his ability to regenerate his tissue, a trait that makes him the unstoppable bastard we all know and love. However, as things go in movie land, he breaks free and, in the film's best scene, kills about 8 guards in thirty seconds including cult director David Cronenberg in a neat cameo as a government type. Tracking a lone female survivor through the complex, he is tricked into a cyrogenic chamber, which is pretty much a fancy name for a big freezer. Here he stays frozen solid for about 400 years until a crew of astronaut types discovers him. They make the great decision to bring the big guy aboard their ship since he is of historical importance, being so old and stuff. Jason unthaws (just as two teens are getting hot and heavy elsewhere on the ship) and picks up where he left off. From here on out, everything is the same as previous entries in the series, except substitute Crystal Lake with a spaceship type setting. The teens are just as horny, Jason just as pissed, and the dialogue worse than ever.

For a low budget flick, I will give director James Isaac credit for making the film look great. Every cent is up there on the screen and it definitely shows. The f/x is also pretty good; things are pretty bloody and messy in this one. Watch for the chick who gets her face froze then smashed into a tabletop. Very cool. Jason did seem a bit off to me in this one, I wanted the Jason from part's 6 or 7, he seemed less like a zombie maniac to me and more like a real person. This film tried to attempt a lot of humor in certain scenes, and it simply just did not work. We get lot's of bad one-liners that literally ruined many scenes. For example, after Jason gets done impaling a guy on a huge screw type device, his body is seen twisting all the way down the screw. It actually looked very impressive and quite grisly. However, when his body is discovered, a crewmember upon being asked by her sergeant what happened to the deceased individual replies, "he got screwed". Terrible. This continues throughout the movie at a very annoying level. Most of the audience I saw it with laughed at just about every part of the film, kill scenes included. The "Jason v.s. Android" scene was also pretty crappy, what was up with those faces that android chick made? God-awful. There was, amongst all the crap, a cool scene in which Jason finds himself in sort of a virtual Crystal Lake setting, and I must admit that scene was pretty clever. To bad the rest of the film was not. The ending of course, left the door open for a part 11 (!) so I'm sure if this one brings in the bucks we'll see more of Mr. Voorhees in the future. But geez guys, Jason in space? Piss on it.
