The Final Cut consisted of splicing the footage filmed for Part IV with footage from the previous 3 movies.

Summary[]

10 years after the massacre at Camp Arawak and 4 years after the massacre at Camp New Horizons, an amnesiac named Allison Kramer embarks on a voyage to discover if she is the infamous murderer Angela Baker.

Full Synopsis[]

In 1993, four years after the third film, Allison Kramer (Carrie Chambers), is plagued by gruesome nightmares that revisit a campsite. Unable to recall the actual occurrences due to a forced mental block, she seeks the help of a psychiatrist (Dr. Lewis) in overcoming her insomnia.

After numerous visits and hypnosis, Allison's psychiatrist tells her that she is seemingly a survivor of a camp massacre which occurred over a decade ago. Her disbelief of the whole situation inclines the psychiatrist to advise her to return to the site for an afternoon, in hopes that if she were to see the scene of the crime, she would remember and overcome them.

Doubtful, Allison sets out for the camp she attended but never remembered. When she reaches her destination she finds the camp closed and abandoned, the land now Federal Property. She reminisces about the events that occurred in the original trilogy. Allison narrates over many of these scenes. Archive footage from the first three films are organized into themes, such as Angela being afraid of water. Allison looks for a ranger, Jack (John Lodicos), that her psychologist, Dr. Lewis, told her to meet up with. The ranger tries to have sex with her, but Allison decides things are going too far and runs away. The ranger chases her through the woods. Allison stops as she can run no longer. She is found by a hunter, Eugene (Victor Campos), who almost shoots her out of fear. Later on, she approaches the ranger with the hunter's gun and threatens to kill him if he doesn't stay away from her. She then returns to the hunter and shoots him. In the next scene, Allison is standing in the sun with a knife, which the sun is reflecting off of. The ranger approaches her, but she whirls around and the film freezes as she holds the knife near him. It then cuts to a cabin, where the hunter's and the ranger's decaying bodies can be seen. The credits then roll over the image of their corpses.

It is then revealed (as implied in the opening crawl) that "Allison" is actually an amnesiac Angela Baker, the killer from the three previous films, being "a woman without identity," due to having been knocked out by an ambulance driver after the events of the third film, and asking "But who is Allison, really?", in addition to her having had flashbacks of certain scenes throughout the original trilogy that only Angela was present for or survived through, realising her identity upon rediscovering all of her memories at the film's climax, before returning to the psychiatric clinic.

Trivia[]

Partially filmed in the 1992 before production shut down. Webmaster John Klyza hunted down the footage and worked with director Jim Markovic and an editor to finish the movie. It was completed nearly 20 years after being abandoned by utilizing the footage shot for the trailer, scenes filmed the few days before production was halted, and additional narration to tie the clips together.

In the script, Eugene (Victor Campos) wasn't supposed to die, but due to the bankrupt of the movie, he got killed in the final cut. Victor Campos was also originally going to play a local camper named David with an other camper named Annie, who turned out be the real Angela and (John Gallagher) was originally going to play Eugene, but was replaced with Victor Campos.

It was always planned to use flashback footage from the first three films to save costs.
