Friday the 13th Part V Review

Friday the 13th A New Beginning Movie Review

I'm trying more and more to post some movie reviews so I can give my take on all my favorite and not so favorite movies. Here for me comes a real bittersweet movie for me. Bittersweet because by now. You know Jason Voorhees wasn't the killer in this movie and some ambulance driver was (worst idea since Greedo shooting first) however, it does continue the Tommy Jarvis storyline. We find ourselves with Tommy at a half way house of sorts for mentally challenged kids. Now, Tommy has been haunted by images of Jason since the whole dramatic I killed Jason moment of Friday 13th Final Chapter (one day review coming). Anyway, the premise was to give everybody some Friday the 13th but, since they killed ol' Jason off. Shit. We got to do something else. So after seeing his son hacked up a ambulance driver decides to kill a bunch kids using Jason's old MO. Well, yikes. talk about Jumping the Shark. or whatever. Anyway, kids getting hacked up left and right with a nice amount of nudity and gore. If there wasn't a Friday the 13th Movie Series to follow I might have dug the shit out of this. But, knowing this wasn't Jason left me with that flipping my sister feeling. Sure, she's got a great bag of goodies but, in the end there is something wrong with it. I give it 2 machetes out of 5. Which is so painful because this is my favorite horror series. Least Tommy Jarvis is back and that pretty much the reason it got an extra star instead of just one. Least Jason Lives was next....

Friday the 13th Part VI Jason Lives Movie Review

Friday the 13th Part 6 - Jason Lives

this is my first movie review and its on my favorite horror movie of all time. Yeah, Yeah, I know people are going ooooh. the Exorcist... Oh Blair Witch (which i liked and wait til i get to that review)... oh blah blah blah. I consider this one of the best slasher flicks of all time. interesting story behind this movie. I first saw it when i was 10 on Xmas eve at my uncle's house. everybody else was in the kitchen and him and me sat on the coach and watched this. it was unlike anything i can remember seeing. The movie marks the return of Jason Voorhees that had been killed by Tommy Jarvis in Friday the 13th the Final Chapter. and interestingly enough Jason was dead. I mean dead and buried. No returning. Well, enter Tommy Jarvis the hero from the previous two Fridays. As we know from A New Beginning Tommy is being haunted by visions on Jason. So he decides upon leaving the nut house he will go dig up Jason and burn the body. Which is great in theory. but, could you pick a night where it wasn't storming? The opening of this movie is great. And features Jason walking out and slashing the screen like James Bond. Personally, I liked Thom Mathews as Tommy Jarvis. He was strong, had good facial expressions, and added some humor. There were some great deaths in this movie - the knife thru the side of the head which a guy was driving a motor home and Jason busting the door off of it and standing on top. Which has become a infamous scene in the serious. In fact its the Wallpaper for my Jason Voorhees tribute site Jason Voorhees. It also lets us know Jason will not harm children although he's very curious about them. This also marks the movie where Jason became more apart of the undead unstopping terminator we got the following films. Jason twists a girls head off and he literally folds a cop in half. also this movie had a great ending that builds up. I will continue to say if they decide to ever Kill Jason for good Tommy Jarvis has to be the one to do it. I give it 5 Machetes out of 5.
