X Is the Loneliest Number

* out of 4.

After much talk, costly delays, reshotting and last minute editing the end result is one of the most disappointing horror films in recent memory. You can always tell when a horror series has hit its low point when they move the action to outer space. Anyway, Jason goes to outer space and he chops up the usual amoral teens, but not without the same zest as the earlier films. This is the worst of the series. It's cheap looking and it lacks everything that has made even the worst of the Friday films mildly entertaining.
