This May Arrow Video plans to release a double-dose of Friday the 13th chaos as not one but two classic Jason movies make their way to limited edition 4K ultra-HD in the UK. For those looking to add two campy supernatural slashers collection these are not films to be missed!
Starring fan favourite Kane Hodder as Jason, first to release is Jason Goes to Hell. Featuring spectacular special effects by industry legends Howard Berger, Robert Kurtzman and Greg Nicotero of KNB EFX Group, this is a madcap entry in one of the most lasting and entertaining franchises of all time! The release includes the theatrical cut and unrated cut of the film, brand new interviews, audio commentaries, a double-sided foldout poster and an illustrated collector’s booklet.
Jason Voorhees is finally dead! Or is he? After being blown to smithereens in a sting operation, the infamous killer’s body is taken to the morgue in Youngstown, Ohio. But Jason can’t be killed so easily, and his still-beating heart possesses the body of the coroner performing his autopsy. The now body-hopping Jason begins hacking and slashing his way back to his stomping ground of Crystal Lake, where his last living relatives, Diana, her daughter Jessica and her newborn baby Stephanie still reside. Only by them can he be truly killed, and only through them can he be reborn, and Jason is determined to return to full power. Can the last remaining Voorheeses survive long enough to finally send Jason to hell for good?
If that’s not enough, there’s Jason X on Limited Edition 4K UHD, a spectacular sci-fi twist on the Friday the 13th franchise brought to life by legendary special effects supervisor Jim Isaac (Gremlins, eXistenZ). With Kane Hodder sporting a new space age look, and some of the most creative kills in all of slasherdom, Jason X is a rollicking blast from take-off to landing! Along with new and archival commentaries, a documentary on Jason, the 4K release includes a reversible sleeve, double-sided foldout poster and an illustrated collector’s booklet.
The year is 2455, humanity has left an overly polluted Earth for a new planet they’ve christened Earth II. A crew of scientists on an expedition to Earth I, discover a research facility near Camp Crystal Lake where Jason Voorhees’ body has been cryogenically frozen. They decide to bring him back on their spaceship, but in doing so they seal their doom! As they depart once again for the furthest stars, the masked maniac awakens, ready to kill again!
Both Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X will be available in stores on May 19, 2025.
