An undercover lieutenant goes to the Camp Crystal Lake disguised as a camper and sets Jason (Kane Hodder) up to chase after her. Then an army of people trap him and blow him up. They take his body parts to a lab to discover him.
His heart is there too lying on the table and it starts to beat. It posesses the Coroner (Richard Gant) and then he swallows Jason's heart and turns into Jason himself. Then he goes on a killing spree. But everytime the corpse he's inside gets weak, he steals another body and some sort of a serpeant goes out of the body into another one.
He hunts down his sister Diana Kimble (Erin Gray) and stabs her in the back to use her corpse for a special purpose.
Diana's daughter's ex-boyfriend Steven Freeman (John D. LeMay) is caught there and accused of murdering her and is put in jail.
Jason tries to hunt down her niece and her baby in order to kill them both. Steven meets another fellow in the cell by the man of Creighton Duke (Steven Williams) who wants Jason dead but tells Steven that only a family member of Jason can put him away for good.
They both manage to escape prison and tries to track Jason's niece down by the name of Jessica (Keri Keegan).
Steven tries to tell Jessica her about her uncle Jason but she doesn't listen to him.
Eventually, she goes to the Voorhees house where Jason put the corpse of her mother there since Duke took her baby there as well.
That way, she can challenge Jason and try to put him out for good.

 

This had no relationship to the previous sequels and is just a story itself.
Also, Jason was an only child if you remember Mrs. Voorhees telling Alice about him in the first movie too.
Neat special effects and good action but the story lacks a bit.
Sean S. Cunningham from the director of the first film produced this one.
The story is almost like a Halloween flick as the writers tried to make Jason a Michael Myers type figure as both of them try to kill all their family members.

The acting is fairly good as we see many familiar faces like John D. LeMay who was a regular in the series of Friday the 13th and is great with his role as Steven Freeman and a true character he is with intense energy to his role.  
Steven Williams deserved an award of some kind for his role as the crazed Jason hunter Creighton Duke delivering his lines cooly and slyly.
Oh my god! It's Erin Gray from TVs Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons as Jason's sister Diana Kimble. I didn't recognise it was her when I went to the theatre's on a halloween special as she performed very differently in this one and it's a compliment.
Steven Culp does well playing a two faced prick news reporter in the film as he truly went far with his acting career after this film which is not a surprise.
Rusty Schwimmer was quite a great character in her role as a butchy diner owner as she brings lots of humor to her part.
Richard Gant had a nice serious attitude as the coroner in the film and knew how to behave like a possessed Jason Voorhees too.
There is also a debut performance by Michelle Clunie and Michael B. Silver as two campers who both starred in the hit TV series Queer As Folk.

Julie Michaels  is topless while preparing for a bath, another woman fornicates in a tent with her breasts fully exposed.

The most goriest of all the Friday films.
Jason explodes into pieces
A coroner eats Jason's heart
People are slaughtered more extremely than usual
A guy is fried to death
A corpse rots.

Adam Marcus directed this flick and really put alot into his work for the film.
Has great location shots and delivers excitement when the undercover lieutentant performed by supporting stuntwoman/actress Julie Michaels driving along the road and a nice close up shot on a sign saying Crystal Lake. I love it when she enters the cabin at Crystal Lake but we all know that Jason is watching her.
He makes that one very bone chilling.  
A good shot when she tries to run a bath in the cabin at Crystal Lake and the power goes out as you suspect Jason can be approaching any time.
There is a great presence by Kane Hodder as Jason when he tries to attack her with his machette from the top floor of the cabin causing her to fall over.
Nice shots on her and him running in the forest.
A good shot on Hodder in the middle of a field with the cast as an army shooting at him along with a great explosion and Steven Williams staring behind a bush with his blunt attitude not convinced that Jason is dead.
A witty moment with Williams being interviewed for the news about Jason Voorhees and what his description on Jason is.
We have a nice and dark moment with supporting actor Richard Gant talking on his mini recorder about Jason's body parts and staring at Jason's beating heart and stalling a bit as well as a good shot on him staring at it and then possessively grabbing it to eat it. He shows nice new evil expressions when Jason is in his body but yet it looks a bit comedic.
A nice camera stare at Hodder as a security which was funny as well as bit part actor Tony Ervolina talking about putting Jason out of his misery when the camera turns away from then and quickly turns back at them.

The news bit that Steven Culp performs about some people turning up dead since Jason was killed looked too cheesy.
A good intimidating dialogue on Freeman talking to Erin Gray when she is waitressing at her restaurant about Jason coming after her and he's not dead.
A great menacing moment by Billy Green Bush towards Williams but however Williams showed great physical strength towards him.
A nice humouress dialogue with John D. LeMay talking to both supporting cast members Michelle Clunie and Michael B. Silver in a car about what they're gonna do when they go up camping since the place seems to be safe again.

A nice shot looking up on Clunie fornicating in a tent.
A perfect setting with Gant sharpening some knives while Bush is tied up lying to a table and then the suspense happens to what he's gonna do which looked good.
A good intense moment with Bush being forceful to Gray and a good shot on a mirror reflection showing Jason's body instead as she shows a great shocking expression on her face.
A nice shot on Bush throwing a knife and a great pose on Gray being stabbed by it with shocking intensity.
Gray does well acting weak after being stabbed in the back trying to talk to John D. LeMay to tell her daughter about something important and who she's related to which was probably the best direction as it seems like she really was slowly dying.
A good dialogue between LeMay and Williams in a separate jail cell talking to one another as LeMay really knew how to act in pain when Williams takes his hand and snaps his fingers while Williams seems to speak softly at first when he asks for his hand.
There is a great battling scene at the Voorhees house performed by LeMay and Williams against Culp and a perfect reaction by Williams after he discovers that Jason is going into his sisters body of what's going to happen.
A perfect camera shot on Hodder crashing through a floor.
A great blocking scene with Kari Keegan coming up from behind Hodder and stabbing him in the chest with the dagger along with excellent lighting effects when this happens. LeMay throws some good punches at Hodder too. I love it when both LeMay starts punch him yelling GO TO and then Keegan kicks the dagger hardwer into his chest screaming HELL!!!!
I also love the scene when Hodder is lured into hell with the lightning effects and gignatic hands grabbing him from the ground as well as LeMay struggling to break free as he is nearly pulled in himself. 
A nice shot on LeMay and Keegan walking away with the sun rising.
But the best one was when Freddys Kruegers hand comes up and brings down Jasons mask at the very end of the film.
Two thumbs up for this dude.
He is also the brother of the New Leave it to Beaver actor Kipp Marcus.

The music again is composed by Harry Manfredini and some of the music is used from the early sequels.
Some of it is new too and is excellent with it too.
His best composition was when Jason is being lured into hell. as the music is hyped up with lots of spunk in it.

[After witnessing Jason being blown up and the FBI thinking he's finally dead]
Creighton Duke: I don't think so.

Robert Campbell: I'm going to say a couple of words to you and I want you to say the first thing that comes into your mind.
Creighton Duke: Okay.
Robert Campbell: Jason Voorhees.
Creighton Duke: That makes me think of a little girl in a pink dress sticking a hot dog through a doughnut.

Coroner: [Into a tape recorder] My professional opinion: this guy's deader than shit. Ha ha ha ha ha. Um, strike that last comment from the record.

Assistant Coroner: [to Jason's body] Hey fuck! Hiya doin ya fat-ass maggoty blown-up fuck! Suck this!
[gives Jason's body the finger]
Assistant Coroner: Suck it! You know what I'd like to do to you? I'd like to take a crap right on your fuckin mask! A big old mango-sized crap!

Security Guard #2: Say, Doc! What's the verdict? Is Jason gonna be gettin' up and walkin' around any time soon?
Security Guard #1: We really nailed that fucker.
Security Guard #2: He was nothing but a big old pussy anyway.

Creighton Duke: I'll have a Voorhees burger and a side of Jason fingers.

Sheriff: That's my girl you're talking about.
Creighton Duke: She's only your girl 'cause she ain't had a taste of the Duke yet.

Luke: We're going to Camp Crystal Lake.
Steven: Oh yeah? Planning on smoking a little dope, having a little premarital sex, and getting slaughtered?

Creighton Duke: Through a Voorhees was he born... through a Voorhees may he be reborn... and only by the hands of a Voorhees will he die.

Randy: Get in the car, Steven.
Steven: Why should I?
Randy: I've got a gun.
Steven: Fuck that, I've got a gun.

Jessica: Joey, please, just let me get the baby and we'll go.
Joey B: Shut the fuck up! You're with a fucking felon!
Pookie: Hey, Baby, watch the language.
Joey B: Fuck you!
[Jessica tries to grab the gun, causing it to misfire and hit the lights]
Joey B: Now look what you fucking done!
Jessica: [shouts] Give me the baby, Joey!
Joey B: [shouts] Fuck you!

Steven: Duke! The part about being reborn through a living woman, does it have to be a living woman?
Creighton Duke: No...
Steven: Duke, that thing is in the basement with Jessica's dead mother!
Creighton Duke: Holy mother of God...
