Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is a 1989 slasher/horror film directed by Rob Hedden. It is the eighth film in the Friday the 13th film series, preceded by Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood and followed by Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Mass murderer Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is resurrected from the bottom of Crystal Lake. After he kills a passing boat's occupants, he stows away on a cruise ship filled with a high-school graduating class bound for New York City. Biology teacher Charles McCulloch (Peter Mark Richman) is on board with his niece, Rennie (Jensen Daggett), who has visions of Jason drowning as a child. They escape his bloody shipboard rampage, but, when Rennie and Charles reach Manhattan, Jason is close by.
