#TOMMY JARVIS DRIVER#
When the killer is unmasked, it turns out to not be Jason at all, but local ambulance driver Roy Burns. Following a fight between the two, Tommy ultimately kills Jason in self-defense, pushing him out of a barn loft onto farm equipment. When finally confronted by Jason, Tommy believes he's just a hallucination until he's physically attacked. At times even Tommy seems unsure he isn't the masked killer. As fewer suspects remain and the body count rises, Tommy himself becomes the prime suspect. Everyone is convinced Jason Voorhees has returned. Afterwards, a hockey mask wearing killer begins to stalk the teens, killing them one by one. Shortly after he arrives at Pinehurst, an incident occurs between two fellow residents resulting in murder. No matter how hard he tries, he can never seem to escape him. Despite his years of rehabilitation, Tommy is still haunted by the ghost of Jason, often seeing him in the mirror. It is a halfway house for troubled teens designed to help them return to society. By the beginning of Part V, a 16-year old Tommy Jarvis (John Shepherd) is no longer a ward of the state and is sent to Pinehurst Youth Development Center. He was forced to enter psychiatric care for most of his childhood. They decided Tommy Jarvis's story would be continued in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning.īy the end of Part IV, Tommy was emotionally scarred by his experiences with Jason Voorhees. Since Jason was killed in the previous film the screenwriters had to come up with a new idea to continue the series. Originally Part IV was to be the final chapter of Friday the 13th, but due to its success at the box office another sequel went into development immediately. Although according to Ted White, who played Jason in Part IV, Feldman was a spoiled brat and he didn't enjoy working with him. The use of cult icon Corey Feldman as Jarvis made the character more attractive and relatable.

This was also the first time in the series in which there was a male survivor this effectively ended the reign of the "final girl." Tommy Jarvis had not only killed Jason but also broke a tradition that had lasted for three films.
#TOMMY JARVIS MOVIE#
Also, back in 1984, the idea of a young child being in a horror movie was fresh and original. He catches brief glimpses of female nudity, much the way that watching these kinds of horror films back in the day allowed us our first adult glimpse into the world. In many ways, young Tommy is a stand in for us as the audience. Jason's head slides down the length of the blade and when Tommy sees Jason twitch he continues to hack at his head repeatedly as his sister yells his name and it fades to black. Though she misses and only removes his mask, Tommy jumps in and is able to kill Jason with a blow to the head. Doing this buys enough time for Trish to attack Jason with a machete. In a stroke of genius, Tommy shaves his head in order to look like and confuse Jason, having earlier researched Jason's childhood. Ultimately, Jason comes to kill everyone but Tommy and his sister Trish manage to survive. A group of teens arrive at a vacation house located just behind the Jarvis Residence to do what teens love to do in horror movies: Party and have sex. He lives with his mother and sister in a cabin located near Crystal Lake. In The Final Chapter, the first movie of the "Jarvis Trilogy," Tommy (Corey Feldman) is a twelve year old boy with an affinity for creating scary masks.
