Jason Goes To Hell Debuts On DVD
In Jason Goes to Hell, the ninth film in the frightfully successful Friday the 13th series, Jason is tracked down and blown to bits by a special FBI task force, and everyone assumes that he’s finally dead. But everyone assumes wrong. Jason has been reborn with the bone-chilling ability to assume the identity of anyone he touches. In this shocking installation of Jason’s carnage-ridden reign of terror, the horrible secret of his unstoppable killing instinct is finally revealed.

Hellish DVD Features
The DVD will feature widescreen and fullscreen versions of both the rated and unrated versions the film, along with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo Surround Sound. The DVD will include audio commentary with Director Adam Marcus and screenwriter Dean Lorey, the “Jump to a Death” feature with R-Rated and Unrated options, animated menus, English subtitles, closed captions and the original theatrical trailer.

A team of government scientists working at the Crystal Lake Research Facility has finally captured the seemingly indestructible killer Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder). In order to contain Jason, they plan to freeze him in cryogenic suspension; but, as usual, things go horribly wrong and he breaks free to resume his murderous ways. Rowan (Lexa Doig) the sole survivor of Jason’s latest rampage, manages to complete the cryogenic suspension of Jason, but at the last moment, is frozen in time along with him.

Flash forward to the year 2455. Old Earth is now a contaminated abandoned planet, and humans have returned to research the artifacts of the lost civilization. When they enter the ancient grounds of Crystal Lake, they discover two frozen ancestors – Jason and Rowan. They return with the bodies to their starship and are able to revive Rowan, and they come face-to-face with a shocking, totally new form of evil as Jason comes back to life and begins to silently stalk them through the corridors of the spacecraft.
