And now we come to my favorite film in the series just for the pure entertainment of it: Friday the 13th Part 6 - Jason Lives. This is the sequel that should have happened instead of the one that came before it really. Instead of sticking to the previous Friday formula, director ... read more
This film is, by far, my favorite entry in the entire series. In the film Jason is resurrected. The result is the best version of Jason that was ever created. This is the introduction of the super-human, methodical zombie, mean-as-fuck version of the character. It's a pleasur... read more
I dont remember if this is one of the ones that has a "local crazy" in it, but those are just the greatest. I know atleast 3 have the crazy old rapist who sneaks into the camp and watches them have sex, just as Jason does, and then he hears twigs snap and we see him turn around h... read more
Jason doing what he does best. Armed to the teeth and brought back to life via lightning, he is now even more unstoppable. I think this is actually one of the most enjoyable movies in the series. It has a lot of campy performances, but the story is really interesting and a nice c... read more
Jason Lives is my favorite one in the series. Not as bloody as the others, but fun, fun, fun, fun. One-liners up the ass and GREAT characters. Camp Blood was never this much fun!
After Part 2 and Part 3 in the series, Part 6: Jason Lives is quite possibly The best Friday sequel there is. It's certainly one of my personal favorites and is a terrific new twist to an already legendary franchise. The film combines elements of old Friday The 13th films with el... read more
I like the way the makers didn't really take this one too seriously but I did get a little bored towards the end. I think by this point too much time has been spent at crystal lake, every slasher sequel should have a different location, that's all that differs from the original i... read more
I've seen Friday the 13th Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Without a doubt, so far my favorite of them is "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives." It's not the scariest or the goriest of them all, but it has a great storyline and it's a great horror movie. Tommy Jarvis, who was a kid when... read more
Jason returns from the mutilated, rotting dead in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. There's a little more plot in this one, kids. Tommy (Thom Mathews) wants to make sure Jason's really buried in his grave and digs him up for the corpse to get struck by lightning, resurrecting... read more
A pretty fun addition to the franchise. First of all bringing back Jason is a major bonus and it seems as though McLoughlin has realised that slashers are more fun than frightening. So we get little comedic gems such as a James Bond opening (gun barrel style) and even a characte... read more
This may be my favorite of the Friday the 13th series, mainly because of the winking, insider humor; it's almost like a precursor to Wes Craven's Scream ten years later. Full Review
While there's a superficial been-there-done-that, why don't-we-just-mock-the-whole-thing quality to this entry in the series, it certainly livens up what has become by this point a stale franchise. Full Review
Writer-director Tom McLoughlin strives to bend the familiar FRIDAY formula into a throwback to an earlier era of horror monsters. The results are mixed...but you have to give [him] credit for trying. Full Review
Does Jason ever die? On with the franchsie.
Jason pretty much kicks ass
It's kind of a nice film, and nice exploitation films are nobody's idea of a good time. Full Review
Gives us a couple of good, self-referential laughs ... the film is probably the most enjoyable of the series, but it isn't the best. Full Review
Of note: Electricity will figure prominently in just about every Friday the 13th entry from this point onward. Full Review
The sixth installment in the thunderingly mediocre series features no nudity whatsoever. Surely this is an editing mistake. Full Review
