Viewing Notes

This one is the most non-sensical of the series so far. I was expecting to see Jason run amok in Manhattan, but most of the film takes place on what looks like a cargo ship. After the survivors of the carnage on the ship escape on a lifeboat and eventually arrive in Manhattan, Jason immediately pops out of the water. Huh?  If one can overlook all the absurdity, it is a somewhat entertaining film, I have to admit.
