Long ago a boy named Jason Vorhees drowned in Camp Crystal Lake. But it seems he's come back, and now all campers live in fear of Friday the 13th! Now a common household name, Jason has terrified audiences for a good 15 years, and the sequels keep comming. All true slasher fans ask of this: Never stop Jason!
Summary and Reviews:
A little after Halloween shocked the world, audiences were in for another treat. Friday the 13th was unleashed on the public, and horror would never be the same. The first is a tale of a boy, and a mothers revenge. Poor Jason drowns due to the counslors mis-haps, and Mommy dearest decides to take action at Crystal Lake. Soon people start turning up dead, and a climatic ending ensues.
Although the first doesn't star our good 'ol boy Jason, It has it's moments. Kevin Bacon gets killed, what more could you ask for? 4 of 5 stars.
Finally it arrives. Seems Jason never died in the lake, and has come back to Camp Crystal to find the counslors that killed his mother. Although the hockey mask isn't present, Jason introduces his bag of tricks on the slasher world.
Friday 2 is also an entertaining movie, and has some wicked ideas. Also 4 of 5 stars.
Jason's been knocked down, but not out for the count! He seemingly isn't dead, and awakes again to kill more kids comming in to party at the Lake. This film was presented in 3-D at the theatres, and is the first to have Jason don the Hockey Mask that made him so popular.
Friday 3 has some awesome kills, one guy gets split in half! The characters aren't shallow either. It's up to par with the second. 4 stars of 5.
Supposedly the "Final Chapter", but we all know better. Corey Feldman stars as Tommy Jarvis, a kid who lives with his family out by Crystal Lake. Soon, the summer rolls in and Teen start moving in near-by. Jason makes his way out of the local morgue, and back to Crystal Lake where he belongs. The carnage begins once again, with an odd ending!
Part 4 is one of the best. better than the first in it's own aspects. The acting is good, the kills are hilarious, and you're just glad to see another Jason movie. 5 of 5 stars.
Tommy Jarvis is now in a home for troubled teens. His story of Jason is considered far-fetched, and now he is under supervision. Killings begin at the home, and Tommy is suspected as trying to prove his Jason story is real. We soon find out that Tommy, in fact, is not behind the killings, but it is really Jason! or is it...?
Friday 5 is a NEW beginning in the fact that we learn the killer isn't really Jason but someone posing as Jason in the mask. Shame since this movie had the highest death count of them all. 3 of 5 stars.
Tommy Jarvis can't get Jason out of his head. He and a friend make their way to the Cemetary where Vorhees is buried to question whether he's dead or not. They find Jason's rotting corpse and Tommy goes into a fit. Stabbing it with a pole, then dousing it in gasoline to cremate the body. Unknowingly, lightning strikes the pole, and as the title says...Jason Lives!
This is my favortie of the Series. It brings the true Jason back, and gets you right into the movie with the opening sequence. The ending is also quite a show, so check this one out if any! 5 of 5 stars.
A psychic girl comes to Crystal Lake with her Doctor and Mother to get away from everyday life. Seems she accidentally killed her father at Crystal Lake when she was a kid with her powers. The Doctor says he wants to help her cope with it, but in reality is using her to manifest her powers for his own gain. She soon finds out and goes to the Lake furious, not knowing her powers have just ressurected Jason who sits at the bottom of the lake! Here we go again!
Friday 7 was an interesting idea, although the movie was great until you hit the ending. That's the only thing that drops it from being a 5 star. 4 of 5.
A small ship floats atop Crystal Lake, and the anchor catches a power line and tears it in-two. Does it mean light's out for Crystal Lake? Sure, that and it has woken Jason for another killing spree! Jason boards the boat, and it eventually floats to sea, where he leaves that and climbs aboard a cruise-liner. Soon does he find out the cruise-liner is headed for New York City! The rampage continues and the Liner sinks, leaving the last of it's crew to float to NYC. Jason has followed, and now the streets of New York will never be the same!
I wasn't the same after either. This was a poor excuse for a slasher. Sure it had some outrageous death scenes, but the whole idea was horrible, and the ending, well, let's not even go there. See it if you dare! If you already have, I feel your pain! 1 of 5 Stars.
The Final Friday, The Final Chapter, we all know it's bullshit. The FBI is hot on Jason's trail after he's been discovered in New York, and follow him back to Crystal Lake. There, they trap him and blow him to bits. A Doctor examins what's left of the corpse, and is mysteriously drawn to it. Jason's soul transfers to him, and now he's back, and almost undectable! Will they stop Jason? Or has the title given it away...
Jason goes to hell is an OK movie. Yes, an OK movie. It brought Jason into the 90's, but not that well. You be the judge of this one. 3 of 5 stars.
