SYNOPSIS
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.
Stay tuned for a whole new Lights Out...coming soon...~Brian |
