Gardena Cinema Late Nights and Friends of Gardena Cinema present a special double feature presentation of JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY (1993) at 7:30 pm and HEARTS OF DARKNESS (2025), a documentary about the making of the 1993 horror classic movie at 9:00 pm with a special Q&A filmmaker panel featuring director Adam Marcus, at 10:40 pm.

JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY is a 1993 American supernatural slasher film directed by Adam Marcus from a screenplay by Dean Lorey and Jay Huguely, based on a story by Huguely and Marcus. The ninth installment in the Friday the 13th franchise, as well as the first installment in the franchise to be released by New Line Cinema, it stars John D. LeMay, Kari Keegan, Erin Gray, Allison Smith, Steven Culp, Steven Williams, and Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees, reprising his role from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. The film follows the ghost of Jason possessing people in order to continue his killings after his death. To resurrect himself, Jason must possess a member of his bloodline, but he can also be permanently killed by one of his family members using a magic dagger.

The film was conceived by co-writer and director Marcus under Sean S. Cunningham, producer and director of the first film. After the low box-office returns of Jason Takes Manhattan, Paramount Pictures sold the character rights of Jason Voorhees to New Line Cinema.

Jason Goes to Hell was theatrically released on August 13, 1993, and grossed $15.9 million at the box office on a budget of $3 million, becoming the second-lowest performing film in the series, after Jason Takes Manhattan. The film was lambasted by critics and fans, criticizing the supernatural elements and lack of Jason Voorhees as a physical character.

The next installment in the series, Jason X, was released in 2001, and a crossover sequel with the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, Freddy vs. Jason, was released in 2003.

HEARTS OF DARKNESS is a 2025 American documentary film about the making of the 1993 horror film JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY, the controversial 9th installment of the FRIDAY THE 13TH film series.
