I LIKE THIS MOVIE BUT SAYIN DAT I GOT THE BX SET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Posted By: Protecious at 11:43pm, September 30, 2008
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.
