Audience Member The kills in this are creative. This is less gory than the last. There is much more nudity in this one. The effects are not good. The characters in this are all over the top and seem like cartoon characters. Taking the focus off Jason is not the best idea. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Justin T I have a lot to say about this film mostly because it is the most disappointing in the series so far, and by a long way. It has an incredible intro, great music, no technical issues, has the honour of possibly my favourite nudity in any film except maybe My Bloody Valentine (2009). The last twenty minutes saves this from being a total catastrophe as there is some good thrilling action. This is a very eighties film but it is set at least a decade after the previous film. It’s kinda goofy and loses its way very quickly after the excellent opening. The human interactions are painful. It’s a bad interpretation of autism. It’s not violent, the kills are tame and don’t feel part of the film as the killer and the killing is rarely seen on-camera. The filmmakers really didn’t understand what makes these films great. The murderer mystery aspect is annoying once you know the twist which you can work out if you’re paying attention. It’s fairly slow and tedious with atrocious characterisation across the board. The ending makes no thematic sense. This fails massively on a conceptual, directorial and writing level and is almost certainly my least favourite of the franchise. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review James B While It doesn't feature Jason part 5 is still enjoyable with interesting characters Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Audience Member despite jason not being the antagonist in this, it's still enjoyable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Audience M A New Beginning doesn’t shy away from its bloody roots. In fact, the film ups the previous instalments with some creative, entertaining and often grisly kills to go along with its extensive and funny cast of side characters. The nudity is fairly typical for the genre, often before a violent death, which became a staple of the slasher formula at the time it was made. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review William S This movie has the best side characters of the entire franchise. The plot is formulaic and goes through all the cliched beats you expect from a slasher of this era, but the whole reason to watch this movie in particular is for the hilarious side characters.
