now you'd think after A New Beginning (to a box office flop!) they'd stop continuing the Friday the 13th franchise, but they decided to ruin the franchise by making Jason come back to life and kill of all the actors so that the franchise will fall, but the actors aren't giving up a fight. they'll keep this franchise from falling whether Jason likes it or not!
I really enjoyed Jason Lives. I felt the movie had alot to offer for being Part VI: which means alot in the seies has already occured. The smiley face is just classic. Nothing but love for this great movie.
A pretty good one, but tries to be funny and doesn't really stick with the horror and suspense, but still a good flick. I'm glad Jarvis is back, but sad that it's not Corey Feldman... :(
The birth of "Zombie-Jason", Tom Mcloughlin is having fun with the series and it shows. The last really fun Jason film, the series just goes downhill from here which does nothing but help to raise this one more.
Jason Lives is definitely an improvement from its previous mediocre predecessor and actually featured Jason. While the film is an introduction to the Jason zombie era, it still is a fun slasher flick and a solid entry in the series. Here's why.
The pacing in this movie is probably the best. The characters are all fun and are never obnoxious, they're actually the best. The kills were fast and upbeat, while also being violent and gruesome. Jason was pretty kick-butt here and was awesome. Did I mention the kills were great?
I highly recommend this sequel to avid Jason fans or people who love horror in general. Sure, it's not scary, but those are not it's intentions. Great kills, great acting, and brisk pacing is all what lies in this solid entry.
Without a doubt this is the best Friday The 13th movie ever made. The movie has everything you could ask for from a Friday movie, and then a little more.
Leagues better than the fifth. Everything about this movie is cool. It was almost the first self aware slasher movie (though Scream often gets that credit).
Great effects, the REAL return of Jason and one of the coolest final confrontations in slasher history really make this movie shine.
That's just one of the stand out lines in this killer addition to the saga of Jason Voorhees. I know that there are some out there who don't like the idea of mixing horror with a generous splash of comic relief, but this was done with a deft hand and executed well.
Ironically enough, many of the horror "hardcores" out there seem to be forgetting a little film called SCREAM, which was pretty much held the same idea of mixing potent terror with biting comedy. Oddly enough, Tom McLaughlin and crew never really got the credit they deserved for delivering such a slam bang combo here.
Well what do you say. I can't say that this is the best but it is not the worst but i still hate. Is it the humor or is it the fact that the old prowler in the woods with a deformed face that we all loved is gone and instead there is a skeleton faced zombie that is not scary at all since there is no reality in it . Well all that and more makes this movie suck.
I still think it is the best of the zombie Jason films but the putting humor in a friday film is just a bad idea. If you are going to have ANY humor in a horror film leave it to Freddy Krueger not to some cheering kids that you wish Jason had killed. And that leaves us to the kids in this movie. They don't seem to be scared at all. Just some little girl gets scared while the others are cheering when Tommy fights Jason and jokes about their situation.
What makes this movie better than the other zombie Jason films is the intro scene that is the best scene in the entire movie. I would have liked the end if there where no cheering kids in it but still i think they should have stopped at part 4. Friday the 13th 1-4 is some of the best horror movies indeed. After hearing about how good this overratet friday movie was i really expected more.

Best of the series IMO. If you like F13 movies and you havn't seen this one you are in for a treat.

This is one of the better and one of my favorite Friday the 13th movies. It's different. It's not just horny teenagers in an abandoned house and Jason happens to show up and kill them which about 4 sequels are. Tommy Jarvis wants to make sure Jason is dead. (Pretend Part V never happened!) Him and a friend go to the cemetery to make sure, but Tommy accidentally brings Jason back to life. This is the one where Jason becomes more of a zombie and walks, instead of running. Tommy gets thrown in jail, and the Sheriff's daughter, Meagan begins to have a crush on Tommy. Camp Crystal Lake has been renamed to Forrest Green because no one wants to remember about Jason. Later, Meagan helps Tommy break out of jail so he can go to Crystal Lake and stop Jason once and for all. I highly recommend FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES!!!
This film I hold dear to my heart. It was the first Friday the 13th film I ever watched...It was on TV over the Halloween period of 1993...and It gave me nightmares hahaha...Looking back now I can laugh. I do feel that the film has been heavily edited, cos some of the deaths seem abrupt unlike the early films....perhaps this was the work of the "evil" BBFC... I can't really fault this film (biased I know)...I can overlook the Frankenstein intro and how clique it is. But hell it was the 80's. Friday the 13 Pt VI is the last decent entry in the series....as for Part VII don't get me started!!!!
Overall, it's not a terrible film. I like the opening sequence with the storm approaching. The creepy atmosphere with the woods, lake, ect. The dog eating the roadkill, leading to the conversation between Haas & Tommy. I think they could have done without the whole paintball sequence. C.J. Graham was great as Jason. The scene where the guy catches Jason hacking up the caretaker, & then Jason turns abruptly to the right & sees him, is one of my favs. Sissy getting her head twisted off like a bottle-cap, the sheriff getting bent backwards until his spine snaps. Good, but not great. It has it's moments though. Worth a viewin'!!!
The start of Jason The Zombie Years. Not a bad Friday film, good kills and blood but not scary. The scares died with Jason in The Final Chapter. I Liked that they continued with the Tommy storyline and that he was the one who killed him and bought him back to life. This is where comedy started to creep into the series starting with the James Bond walk opening. Better than Part 5 but not as good as the first 4.
Great movie...deinately my favorite of the series. Love them all though :)
except Jason X...grrrr...lol

This is one of my favorites of the series. It was great seeing ol'freddy from ROTLD starring (man, that guy had a good year in 1986). Incredibly corny all of the way through, and definately a defining moment for the series being a notorious slap in the face to critics that continues to bring in bank year after year. I'm sad that the series has come to the point of remakes, but if that is what it takes to go on, SO BE IT! LONG LIVE JASON!
I LIKE THIS MOVIE BUT SAYIN DAT I GOT THE BX SET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

probably the best and funnest of the whole series, a unlikely resurrected through lightning jason returns to kill again after being raised from the dead, the first of the zomie era jason vorhees.
YUCK! i smell another stinkin shitty balls sequel of the friday the 13th series with stupid deaths,stupid story and stupid everything i say this this is the forth worse movie of the series
This one of my favorites in the series, smart move bringing Jason back this time he was the new Jason Voorhees who wasn't as creepy this time different and not that scary. But this is still one of the best in the series the killings were done well I really liked the opening scene huge improvement from part 5. I really liked the gore in this. Thought the ending was done great overall this was truly a great sequel had some comedy but I thought it still went well. Highly recommended sequel.
The addition of humour here did, for sure, make the franchise temporarily less unbearable, but unfortunately for whoever made this, it didn't make it funnier - and somehow made it even less funny to watch than the previous films.
Man this resurection scene still hangs with me. I love to watch this one. While this movie begins to draw out and feel long, the beginning of this is great. I hope that this finish to 4 and 5 makes you happy. Part 6 is pretty good and hope that you enjoy.
`I've seen enough horror movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly.', 9 February 2003
The first of the Friday movies to introduce a supernatural element, this may have led to the execrable Jason Goes To Hell, but is introduced here with considerable style. As with the title quote, It's more knowing than usual, and while not clever enough to be considered post-modern, it still amuses on occasion. One of the funniest bits is the title sequence, where Jason does a Bond-spoofing `gunshot walk'.
Fantasy had flittered around the series right from the start: Jason was a deformed mutant living underwater, and the sequels had seen him take would-be fatal blows yet survive. Here though he's resurrected by lightning.
None of the films from the third onwards could even remotely be considered scary, so Jason Lives inserts comedy characters to pep things up. It's quite funny seeing Jason doing his usual stalk ‘n' slash through the woods… only to bump into some executives playing paintball. One of the subtler jokey references is a momentary shot of Jean Paul Satre's `No Exit', which is a nice touch.
This time around the camp workers have small children to look after, so the usual `horny teens take their clothes off' scenes are notable by their absence. This also creates a narrative problem in that you know no film would show infanticide and so you also know the children are intrinsically safe.
Some of the exposition is a little heavy, the dialogue often dumb, but at other times it can be humorous, as with the following exchange:
`Why don't you at least call the camp and make sure everything's alright?' `We have. Tried to track you down, the phone there's disconnected.' `Doesn't that tell you something?' `Yeah, they should have paid their bill.'
Direction is also above average for the franchise, with a nicely shot climatic underwater sequence. 5/10.
Are you kidding me? This guy think's this one is the best of the franchise. What kind of crack are you smoking bro? Jason actually had 'man-boobs" in this movie. There was absolutely no suspense, and was cheesy, cheesy, cheesy. Part 4 should have really been the Final Chapter.
