Part IX: The first Friday the 13th film without a Friday the 13th co-title, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday feels somewhat refreshing after a brief hiatus from 1989 to 1993; the always-alive Jason Voorhees picking up some new, soul-transferring tricks along the way. With a plot sometimes veering into Halloween-territory, including a brand new Voorhees sister we’ve never heard of after eight consecutive films, as well as a family lineage that holds the key to Jason’s…heart, Jason Goes to Hell is a mature addition in an otherwise repetitive franchise, which boasts being the final Friday film—really this time!—which of course is a lie.

A very well-made Hitchcockian take on the alien invasion film set around an Etsy-soaked farm house, No One Will Save You happily avoids the don’t-show-the-demon-baby trope and offers razor-sharp sound design. While the aliens presented to the audience all seem to have very different personalities, the same cannot be said by casting Kaitlyn Dever in the starring role of the grieving Brynn and feels like a missed opportunity wasted on yet another white Final Girl.
