The horror of Wes Craven's 1972 debut "The last house on the Left", produced by Sean S. Cunningham, created so much controversy that no one was prepared for the terror of "Friday the 13th", (1980), and its impact, with David Hess, throughout the 1970's, and 1980's.***
"Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter", continues with a new group of teenagers in a van: Doug, (Peter Barton); Samantha, (Judie Aronson); Jimmy Mortimer, (Crispin Glover); Paul, (Alan), (Clyde) Hayes; and Sara, (Barbara Howard). As they settle at the campgrounds, Tommy Jarvis, (Corey Feldman), lives with his family: his older sister Trish, (Kimberly Beck), and their mother, (Joan Freeman), in their house near the cursed lake, and cabins.
***
As they come into contact with the teenagers, there's the usual things that make the movie work. The scares, people making out, and the deaths. The fact that Tommy Jarvis is disturbed adds to the drama. His father is out of the picture, and he's obsessed with horror movies. The psychological aspect to Part IV strengthens the movie, and The End is supposed to be The End. But, sadly, it doesn't happen. Trish and Tommy then see the teenagers swimming in the lake. They make friends, and Trish meets a man named Rob, (E. Erich Anderson), whose sister was killed by Jason in Part 2 in the woods. Jimmy then dances in a comedic scene, as everyone dies at the hands of Jason Voorhees.
***
In the end, Jason attacks Trish, Tommy, and their mother.
Tommy then is drags Tommy out of the window, as he screams. Then he shaves his head, and pretends to be Jason Voorhees. As Jason falls onto his machete, he collapses onto the ground. And he is dead. Tommy grabs the weapon and yells "Die! Die! Die!". Then Trish talks the psychiatrists, and doctors, as the horror continues.
