Movie review - "Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan" (1988) **

 Actually Jason on a boat which isn't a bad idea because of the Crystal Lake connection and it's different suspense. That section I didn't mind. There's a hilarious subplot with the boat captain being hard on his son but the women are attractive and the kills well done and there's two major adult characters which is a novelty. This is the second one in the series where there's a nerdy film buff character. I liked the throwbacks to boy Jason.

But too much of it is silly like being reunited at the end with a dog, and the random gang who turn  up and instantly want to rape someone.
