Unfortunately, Dr. Wimmer (DAVID CRONENBERG) and his team believed Jason to be too valuable due to his ability to regenerate damaged or missing body tissue - a point that made him impossible to kill - and after another killing spree, Rowan was accidentally frozen with him.
Now 400 years later, Professor Lowe (JONATHAN POTTS), his team - including Adrienne (KRISTI ANGUS), Azrael (DOV TIEFENBACH), Tsunaron (CHUCK CAMPBELL) and his female android KAY-EM 14 (LISA RYDER) - and their accompanying students have retrieved the bodies. Although they believe Jason too far gone to be brought back to life, they manage to resuscitate Rowan who immediately informs her rescuers that bringing Jason onboard was a bad idea.
They don't believe her, especially since he appears quite dead and that their ship is equipped with a heavily armed military team led by Sgt. Brodski (PETER MENSAH). Yet, once Jason thaws out and his tissues regenerate, he's back to his old killing ways. From that point on, and as he kills one person after the next, Rowan and the remaining survivors try to figure out how to elude and stop him.
Being a "slasher" film, all sorts of lethal and bloody/gory violence is present as the killer brutally murders many people in various fashions, all with bloody/gory results. In addition, he's often riddled with bullets or blown apart, but manages to survive such injuries and come back as good as new. For the very young or those with low tolerance levels for such mayhem, those scenes and others may be unsettling, suspenseful or even frightening, but many adult viewers and teens probably won't find them that way.
Meanwhile, some drug references are made and one character appears somewhat "high" from pain medication given to him.
