Even though we would see more of Jason over the years (first as a zombie, then battling a telekinetic super-girl, taking on Freddy Krueger within his own warped dreams, even hacking teens to bits in outer space), this one certainly felt as if it properly closed out the Friday the 13th series before it devolved into unadulterated camp.
Read full review
The appeal of the Friday the 13th cycle is difficult for any one who
has not seen the movies on a Saturday night in a packed theatre to
understand: they are an exercise in collective adolescent camp. As each
victim falls to Jason's wrath, the kids cheer and laugh, and the gorier
the death, the better. By the standards of that audience, part four is
perfection: there are more gruesome homicides than Pauline had perils. [17 Apr 1984]
Not making any sense is not the same as unbelievably dumb, which The Final Chapter pretty much is. [18 Apr 1984, p.6]

Ah, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. My favorite movie in the franchise with a nice cast doing some awesome acting and Jason Voorhees bringing out his machete again.

While the plot was lacking, the unique kills, interesting characters, decent acting and some good atmospherically scenes. Kills are fantastic. this is an overall good, if not, great movie and a great entry to the franchise

Better than the other two sequels. Likable and relatable characters. Would have been a good finale for the films.

So-So “Finale”
Like 3, Jason’s kills are the highlights of this movie because of a less than stellar script.
