Unmasked Part 25

A stranger warns Pete and Ann not to enter the residence where the party is held, claiming an evil child has returned for revenge. Pete and Ann ignore the warning and continue toward the flat with their friends Patti, Mick, Monica, and Shelly. The tension builds as they approach the crowded party.

Outside the flat, Patti's date Albert is killed by a masked assailant wearing a hockey goalie mask. The others at the street react with confusion and fear as the killer strikes. The sense of danger foreshadows a night of indiscriminate violence.

Inside the house, Pete and Ann descend into an unkempt room where the killer attacks them. Pete is beaten to death with a shovel, and Ann is fatally garrotted, signaling a brutal spree is underway. The party atmosphere dissolves into horror as other guests remain unaware.

Mick and Monica go upstairs to be intimate, and the killer follows. He impales them with a spear, ending their encounter with a swift, brutal act. The violence escalates within the same residence.

The killer murders Patti with a light fixture, then dances with her corpse while smoking a cigarette. The visceral scene underscores the killer's cold, ritualistic approach to killing. The party mood collapses into outright horror.

The killer walks downstairs, where he finds Shelly. She is blind, and believes Patti set him up with her as her date. She brings him to her home, where he reveals that he can speak and shares a troubling backstory of abuse and loneliness.

Shelly and Jackson share a kiss and later have sex as their relationship deepens. Jackson opens up about his past while Shelly is drawn to him, despite the danger he represents. The uneasy romance hints at his internal conflict about his murderous urges.

Jackson returns to the unkempt room in the house where he was born, finding his drunken father there. The father berates him, and Jackson confesses that he does not want to kill anymore. His father dismisses him, reinforcing the monster he fears to be.

Jackson and Shelly visit a Halloween mask store. Shelly compares him to The Hand of Death, and he declares, 'I am that guy from the movies.' Shelly buys a goalie mask, cementing their shared fixation on impersonation and violence.

In a pub, Jackson follows Shelly's friend Christi and patrons mistake him for an actor. When Nick tries to remove Jackson's mask, he is stabbed, and Jackson flees the scene. The mood of danger bleeds further into their circle.

Jackson returns home and crushes his father's head, killing him. This act reinforces the killer's resolve and marks another generation of violence in his life. Shelly remains unaware of the full extent of his actions.

On Friday the 13th, Jackson heads to the house where Nick, Christi, Mac, and Barry are staying. He first ambushes Charlotte in the woods and kills her with a pitchfork, then kills Nick outside. Inside the house, he murders Barry with an axe, Meagan with a cleaver, and pursues Christi into the shower, where she is killed.

Jackson visits Shelly and attempts to break up with her, only to learn she is pregnant. He begs for forgiveness, but ends up slitting her throat. The tragedy completes the arc of his murderous relationship and devastates those who cared for him.

He leaves the scene and walks the city streets in anguish, stopping to read a cinema marquee that proclaims The Hand of Death Part 26: Jackson Returns. The final image hints at an unresolved fate and the cyclical nature of violence.
