Friday the 13th fans, make some space on your physical media shelves, as Arrow Video's May slate includes Limited Edition 4K UHD releases of two of the franchise's most divisive entries, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the space-set slasher Jason X.
Arrow's Jason Goes to Hell release was teased back in October of last year, with director Adam Marcus confirming he had personally overseen the restoration. Released back in 1993, Jason Goes to Hell was not particularly well-received by critics, but has since been re-evaluated by fans and become something of a cult classic.
Arrow's release of Jason Goes to Hell includes both the theatrical cut and unrated cut, and special features read as follows:
DISC ONE โ THEATRICAL CUT

Released in 2002, Jason X is pretty infamous for blasting its hulking masked maniac into space, a move both so bold and ridiculous it has to be respected. Like Jason Goes to Hell, the film has enjoyed a recent resurgence in interest for thinking very far outside of the box.
