Jason Takes Manhattan is one of my personal favorites in the Friday the 13th franchise. It has a long victim list and very memorable deaths. If you like slasher films, it's hard to fathom you not liking this movie.
Pros: Creative and graphic deaths. Jason has never been angrier. Jenson Daggett's Rennie is the most beautiful and charismatic female lead in the entire Friday the 13th franchise. The humorous elements added to the New York scenes are great. The change in setting from boring old Crystal Lake was long overdue.
Cons: The stupidest and laziest explanation for Jason coming back to life in the entire franchise. They don't bother to explain how Jason gets from land locked Crystal Lake to the ocean cruise liner Lazarus. The killing off of Jason is very weird and not well explained.
Favorite kill: (spoiler) Jason stalks Eva to the dance floor of the ship and strangles her to death. Then tosses her to the floor with a sick thud.
