great ending (6.3/10)

this fourth entry in the series is actually not too bad.i liked it a bit better than the other 3,mainly because of the ending,which was pretty climactic,unlike many movies.plus,it was better paced.this one features a 12 year old Corey Feldman,but i still liked it.it pretty much follows the familiar formula of the last 3.minor spoiler****it's called the Final Chapter,but if you've followed the series at,you know it isn't.end of spoiler***it probably was going to be,but then the filmmakers realized they had a cash cow on their hands,and couldn't pass up the opportunity to keep churning them out.whether that's good or bad is a matter of opinion.in any case,my vote for Friday the 13th:The Final Chapter is a 6.3/10
