This was actually my fav of all of them. The only one with no plot really. Jason just appears and kills people.

I bought this yesterday. I do not have a high def tv. Even without high def the 3d works really well. I dont know why other people are having problems. When the guy hangs up the clothes and uses the pole to put it up, it looked like the pole was in my fucking lap. I have not watched much of it yet, but I plan to in the next few days.

i do agree great flick would love the whole series on blu ray 3d is awesome in the movie too!

3-D at home never works it never looks as good nothin you just end up with your eyes aching. I think that films that are shot 3-D mainly the newer style of 3-d but even the old ones should have theaters that do special showings like they do with nightmare before christmas like every year have a eve at the theater where you can watch like four films.

Steve Miner seems like such a dick. Nice job with the Day of the Dead remake dickwad.

does anyone know why they only release 3d for your home tv in the blue red glasses and not the polarized ones?

Does anyone know why Steve Miner refuses to take part in anything? I got the 3D DVD today and the print is terrible but the 3D moments work and I think justified me picking it up for $10 at Wal-Mart.

They still can't do polarized 3-d on current home tv's, but they are putting it into new HD TV sets. That's why they still must use the shitty red/blue anaglyph 3-D on home DVD's.

Not a real fav of mine, but this is the movie were Jason gets his trademark hockey mask so it does hold a special place in mine heart.

As previously mentioned, this flick originally played in "polarised" 3d, and is one of the best examples of this style. Think of it as the old school version of REAL D. Clear glasses (READ: Not RED/BLUE), so the film's natural colours come through. If you want to see this at home, only a bootleg Japanese VCD version exists. You need a CRT Television (maybe a DLP works as well-I can't remember) and a Wired/Wireless 3d kit. It's all available on Ebay, but the VCD obviously lacks DVD quality. All in all it's better 3D than the red/blue version but video quality (and extra money to buy everything) is the sacrifice.

I completely disagree with your review and saying Dana Kimmell was horrible plus one of the worst actresses of the series. She did a darn fine job and was also one of the best-looking girls to fight Jason. If you talk to the fans, she is actually their favorite heroine and the film itself is one of their tops. I like that they made her and Jason have a past and the choice to make her flip-out at the end was a good choice. She was a more complex character compared to the people in the other films. It had some of the most memorable characters and dialogue in the series. The settings used were effective and the windy atmosphere was great. The part where Mrs. Voorhees jumps up from the lake and pulls her down is classic in itself. And any non-zombie Jason film where he is running makes it all the more suspenseful. At least you acknowledged the awesome chase scene. But what the heck are you talking about her being raped? It was never discussed or even implied that she was raped. Jason is not a rapist, his only goal is to kill everyone off. It makes me think you do not know the series all that well. Go watch it again. And saying this was one of the weakest entries will have you in the minority for sure. It's actually one of the best sequels bar none.

I 100% agree with daysfan79. Almost everyone I know has this as either ther fav one or top 3. REALLY suprised at the review by BC. Making some claims that are simply NOT true.

You are welcome to disagree. But a few things I would like to point out: The rape theory is a valid one and has been discussed for years. Maybe you're the one who doesn't know the movie well - it's even mentioned in the two retrospective books (Grove's and Bracke's). And if I am in the "minority for sure", why is 3 currently placing 8th place (out of 11) on a poll I am running on my site as to what is people's favorite? Not to mention I specifically said "weakest of the earlier entries", which would put it with 1, 2, 4, and maybe 5 and 6.

This is one of my favorite installments in the series. Only because of the fact that there is a theatre in my area that runs a midnight showing of the film every Friday the 13th, in 3D. Seeing it in the theatre in 3D is great!! I remember seeing it as a kid in 3D, and seeing it in the theatre today is just as awesome. I haven't picked up the DVD yet, so I can't comment on the 3D quality on a home television, but I'll give it a try!

Yeah... this really is one of the better ones in the series. And how does nobody mention Andy's kill (I think that is his name). He gets sliced in half basically from the dick.

All things Zombie Forum has it ranked 3rd Horror-movies.ca has it ranked 3rd And on amazon right now it is the highest ranked seller of all the Friday the 13th films Just fyi…

Screamer I agree with you completely! That might just be my favorite kill in the whole series, it's so brutal.

Andy was my 2nd choice for best kill... went with the eyeball because of the better 3D effect. Also, for those who might be having trouble with the 3D - the best way to watch is to sort of fix your gaze "through" the TV, like Magic Eye. It'll look better, though you'll also probably get a headache quicker. That's why the "realD" style is so much better - you just put the glasses on and it "works", and no headache.

The 3D is actually pretty good when it's going the gigs come off great but it's the rest of the print that's the problem. As for the review of the movie I am going to have to agree with you JGrayland, I find this one to be just too damn silly and doesn't jibe with the mood of the other original four. I really like Richard Brooker as Jason though and some of the kills are classic. On His Name Was Jason one of the people compared Dana Kimmel's monologue about her past encounter with Jason to Pheobe Cates' monologue in Gremlins about why she doesn't like Christmas and how they were both completely random and pointless. It was hilarious and had me and my friends rolling on the floor laughing.

This was my favorite too. I mean, c'mon, it has SHELLY. I love the guy.

I would love to check this movie out in 3D!!!

Another piece of trivia... this is the only movie to not reference Jason or Crystal Lake

Part 3 is one of the best for me . As other comments have mentioned, when Jason is human and running it ups the suspense. The final chase in this one is great !

This movie SUCKED. There was no plot! You are truly a schlockhound if you think this is the best in the series.

i hate the red and blue 3D thing, its stupid i cant get into the movie, i like the new 3D like my bloody valentine where its not red and blue its alot better
