Justin T This has possibly the best opening to any film ever, it is so epic yet so ridiculous and is there to try and save the disaster of the last film. I have to query the timeline, within 2 real world years about 15 film years have gone by since Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984). After the great opening it does degrade into pretty forgettable nonsense with an especially low point being the paintball massacre. The triple machete kill was so pointless, why even bother including it? If it had been gory then I would see the point. The acting is dire from too many (but not all) of the cast, again especially the paintball fodder cannot act. I hate to keep going back to this issue but they decided to release it without all the gore, they could have done two versions if they wanted to appease the censors in a certain region. Why was the drunken caretaker’s death so lacking gore as well at the double machete kill right after? This film suffers so much from this issue. The core concept is near perfect, teenaged fodder away from home ruined by censorship. It deserves a gory remake. The final act is great, lots happening and a mostly serious tone that is still fun. There are so many great references to earlier films in the series like the hands coming forward as he wakes and the finale on the boat (but it’s done so much better here). By the sixth Saw (2004) film the quality was consistently bad, this is a better and more varied series overall.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Jerod S Finally we get a little more out of the Jason franchise. Even though his resurrection is corny - at least he's scaring us better now. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Omar G Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), rating 7/10 stars. This film I view many, many times. This the worst version of Tommy Jarvis, he acted like a stupid crazy guy. The second Jarvis was quiet and looked like Batman because of how he fought. Jason Voorhees should have been resurrected in Friday The 13th part V, with that it would have been the best movie in the series, Part Vi repeated from Part V in the dream sequence two farmguys they dug up Jason Voorhees and he was resurrected. As always pretty women in this films Kerry Noonan as Paula Mott was my favorite from this movie, also Jennifer Cooke as Megan and Renee Jones as Sissy Baker. Elias Voorhees appeared in the draft of the script. The Sheriff was the best character in this film for being a guy who opposes the protagonist and was an obstacle. Martin the stupid was the one who most deserved to die of violently way. The best quote was “some folks have a strange idea of entertainment” All the characters were stupid. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Dallas H The return of Jason for this installment, since the producers and writers thought they could fool us with the fifth movie. Other than the Scream series has there been any other franchise where the production people kept trying to change up the main villain from one movie to the next? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Jared E These movies were probably real fun back in the 80's to go see in the theatre. Watching them now at home they are pretty corny. I mean I enjoy watching them on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but nothing actually happens in these movies beyond Jason suddenly appears and kills you. Frankly this movie probably has the largest plot as Jason is dead and accidentally revived by a shot of electricity. 🤣 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
