Summary: No Jason? No problem.
Review: This is routinely cited as one of, if not the, worst film in the Friday series, and that's saying something. First off, you won't be watching this flick by accident. Either you're a fan of the series, or not really. It's no secret that the films follow the same formula. It's a real statement about the 80s and about Hollywood in general that the ultra-cynical filmmakers would churn out the same product every year, to diminishing returns, until they ran it into the ground (witness the appalling Part VIII, Jason Takes Manhattan). Strangely enough, the last two installments of this indefatigable series were two of the best: Jason X, and Freddy vs Jason. You have to wreck the series to rebuild it. Jason was killed at the end of Part IV. It seems that it only took a little bit more abuse than he had endured in Parts 2 and 3 to kill him, even though he was stabbed, hung, axed in the head, etc. But apparently, Tom Savini's machete-to-the-head finale to The Final Chapter was the necessary fix. Tommy Jarvis, the hero of Part IV, finds himself in a halfway house, years after the events of the previous film. Of course, he is still completely haunted by Jason, the masked maniac invading his daily thoughts. (In Hollywood, you can never recover from trauma, ever, and it will always return to destroy you and your life.) One day at the half-way house, populated with troubled 80s kids, someone gets butchered, and the cops haul off one of the youths. Then, one-by-one, people start getting offed by a hockey-masked psycho, and Tommy is convinced Jason is back from the dead. It's up to him to ultimately square off against the villain, again, after the requisite amount of bodies pile up. No secret, but it's not Jason doing the killing in this one, which is the main reason the movie is not well regarded. Also, it happens to be ineptly directed and acted on many fronts, and the gore and violence has been cut to ribbons, yet again, courtesy of the hypocrits at the MPAA who gave an R rating to WAY more violent action films of the same period. Remember folks, if someone gets shot in the movies, it's an action movie, and that's okay. If they get stabbed, it's a horror movie, and the gore needs to be limited. I would separate the Friday flicks into about three categories, the first four sequels comprising one, then VI, VII, and VIII comprising another, and the later era with Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, and Freddy vs Jason the last. The original film was going to be a one-off murder mystery, till they decided to have Jason inexplicably rise from Crystal Lake. Then they had a new franchise on their hands. The early films still tried to be horror films, but they weren't scary, just very cynical and violent, and cheaply done. They're fun for fans in the obvious ways, but the series certainly changed with Part VI, becoming more self-reflexive. The DVD, of course, is a lousy, bare-bones job, yet another by Paramount. We get...a trailer! Wow. The picture is good, the sound is fine, but these are real fan films, best enjoyed by horror film fans and geeks, who have fun with the whole thing, but of course we get zero in the appreciation department from Paramount. Compare these to some of the excellent Anchor Bay DVD releases, most of which reverently collect bonus material for added value. Recommended for series fanatics, this film will have you rooting for the killer to bump off the annoying cast with demented glee. It does have some appropriately sick and demented touches, including the flare, the decapitated-on-motorbike death of an inbred cretin, a chainsaw, Dudley from Different Strokes, and a cameo by Corey Feldman, whose career would only go downhill after this masterpiece. Oh, and one of the more ineptly directed whodunit plots in a long time.

Summary: Not The Peak of the Series
Review: Arguably the worst movie of the Friday the 13th series, "A New Beginning" is exactly that: a restart of the series. The shame in the movie is simply that (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Jason is not the killer. Rather, the culprit is the Ambulance driver posing as Jason to commit murders - - quite the dissapointment. For this the movie instantly loses alot of credit, seeing how Jason is the staple of the Friday the 13th series. Now, I don't want to bash the movie too hard here, there are still pleanty of thrills, scares and deaths. The formula for the film is exactly the same as that of its brothers, its just without the real Jason, and you don't even really know that until the end of the film (although you strongly suspect it about midway through). The film has the usual lot of dimwitted teenagers, including some of the "hardest" nudity in the series, but without Jason at the helm, this film is a sinking ship. Good for a watch, but definatley not my favorite.

Summary: ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-k-ki-ki- darn speech impedement
Review: When I first saw this instalment of the f13th franchise I thought it was the worst one so far. However, I had not seen 7 or 8 yet.
But after a couple of watches I started to get into this one. And I like it now. There is a particular reason for the judgment and criticizesem it cops. But I really don't mind that at all now. Once you get used to the surprise ending, which has probably been spoilt by other reviewers here not reviewing it but explaining in detail what they didn't like about the film and giving away the ending to people who haven't seen the film. But none the less, it's not a classic horror movie. It might be something you would watch on a rainy day if you had nothing better to do, but I wouldn't recommend you buy this one unless you've seen it or need it to complete your collection. It is not one of the best of the best of the F13th movies. But even the worst F13th movies are better then your average B grade horror flick. Check it out, well, if you're interested I guess.

Summary: Friday The 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
Review: If you that 1984's Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter was the last installment to the whole franchise, you are more than sadly mistaken. In 1985, director Danny Steinman has brought us fans Friday The 13th Part 5: A New Beginning, the fifith installment to this entire franchise.
Tommy Jarvis (played by John Shepherd), now at the age of 16 or 17, has been struggling with the horrifying memories of his first encounter with Jason Voorhees. That whole nightmare screwed him up pretty bad to the point of mental hospitals. Now, Tommy is being taken to Pinehurst Facility, a house located just outside of Camp Crystal Lake. Pinehurst a place where two directors named Matt Leonard (played by Richard Young) and Pam Roberts (played by Melanie Kinnamin) help out with disturbed teenagers. They already have seven others residing at their house, and those seven teens are Joey (played by Dominick Brascia), Robin (played by Juliette Cummins), Violet (played by Tiffany Helm), Tina (played by Debi Sue Voorhees), Eddie (played by John Robert Dixon), Jake (played by Jerry Pavlon), and Vic (played by Mark Venturini). Working with Matt and Pam is the sweet old man named George (played by Vernon Washington), who cooks the meals and does the housework. Visiting the weekend is Reggie "The Reckless" (played by Shavar Ross), George's fun grandson, who takes to Tommy very well.
After another episode with Ethel Hubbard (played by Carol Locatell), who has been complaining about Tina and Eddie having sex in her backyard, Joey comes around to Robin and Violet, asking to help them hang up the wet laundry. They yell at him for bother them, where he goes across the way to help Vic chop the wood. Vic is an ill-tempered person, who becomes so irritated with Joey that he literally kills Joey with an axe.
That night, two young hoodlums named Vinnie (played by Anthony Barrile) and Pete (played by Corey Parker) are on their way to pick up their girlfriends, but their car breaks down, where Pete forces Vinnie to get out and fix it, while Pete goes off to "make a call to nature". As Pete is doing his business, Vinnie is killed by...Jason. Pete returns only to have Jason kill him as well.
Two days later, while having sex in the woods, Tina and Eddie are then killed off. Matt and Pam begin to worry about the two, being they have no clue about their demise. Pam drives Reggie to see his brother, Demon (played by Miguel A. Núñez Jr.) Tommy decides to go along, but he waits outside, as Tommy and Pam have a conversation with Demon and his girlfriend, Anita (played by Jere Fields). While Tommy waits, Ethel's slightly retarted son approaches and begins tormenting Tommy. But Tommy beats the living hell out of Tommy. Pam finds him and tries to calm him down, but Tommy runs off, causing Pam and Reggie to leave early. After they leave, Demon and Anita are killed by Jason. Pam arrives back at the house with Reggie. Robin, Violet, and Robin come out and tell Pam that Tina and Eddie still haven't come back, and that George and Matt are gone. Pam tells them that Tommy is gone as well, and that she is setting out to find Tommy, Tina, Eddie, George, and Matt. She informs Reggie of his bedtime and puts Jake in charge.
Jake and Robin are watching an old black & white romance movie together. Jake reveals his true feelings for Robin, but she laughs at him, causing him to go upstairs, hurt and confused. He tries to talk to Violet, but she is too busy dancing to her techno rock music. He leaves Violet's bedroom, only to be killed by Jason. Robin finishes her movie and goes up to bed, after putting a blanket over Reggie, who is sleeping on the couch. She goes upstairs and gets in bed, while feeling guilty for hurting Jake's feelings. As she rolls over on her side, she finds Jake's dead body, as Jason kills her. Violet is the next one to get knocked off. Reggie wakes up and checks Tommy's bedroom to find if Tommy came back yet. All Reggie finds is the dead bodies of Jake, Robin, and Violet. Pam and enters and grabs Reggie. As they try to exit the house, Jason enters with a vengeance and begins chasing Pam and Reggie. They run around the woods, where the find George and Matt's dead bodies. They head into a nearby barn, where Pam has a short battle with Jason. Tommy finally enters. He thinks he is hallucinating, but until Jason slices Tommy's chase, Tommy is convinced that Jason has returned. As Jason pulls out a knife in which Tommy had used to stab Jason, Tommy climbs up on the second floor of the barn to help Pam and Reggie, but Tommy passes out from the slice wound. Jason appears at the second floor and tries killing off Pam and Reggie, but Tommy regains consciousness and pushes Jason off the second floor, where he lands on a bed of spikes, just outside of the barn. Jason is unmasked again, but this time, Jason wasn't the killer.
Yeah, right. You think I'm still going let you go camping and that I'm going to tell you who the killer really was? Nope. Try again. But watch Friday The 13th Part 5: A New Beginning and prepared to be terrified of camping all over again.

Summary: How stupid...
Review: This F13 has to be the worst, and that's coming from a die hard F13 fan. First of all, it's not even really Jason in this film. It's some posing psycho that puts on the mask and slaughters a few kids. What really made this film stupid, is how the murder scenes were directed. Most of the teenagers died at the same time!
The only part that was really cool was when an unexpected, beat up hill billy was decapitated while in motion. I guess that scene was to make the audience gasp. Obviously they needed something to attract the audience from death of boredom.
I hate to critize an F13 film, but this one was just terrible. Save your money, and don't buy this one. Two stars at the most.

Summary: Jason strikes again?
Review: Tommy Jarvis, who killed Jason as a young boy, has been in a psychiatric clinic ever since, is still haunted by halucinations and nightmares involving the killer he put a stop to.
When he is brought to a halfway house in the countryside, nearby killings start up again.
Alright, so this is another Jason film, but it is made entertaining due to its humour, interesting characters, and strong direction. If it does have a down side, it's that the direction is often heavy-handed rather than strong. The truth behind this episode's 'Jason', for example, should have stayed a secret until the ending. Instead, it's given away far too early. Still, this is one of the series' better entries.

Review: Jason is not the killer.Ok, I loughed so hard at this film. Standout campfest. Bad acting, 22 deaths, the f word used in a way that i have never heard befor or since in a horror film. I laughed so har at this movie that my stomache stil hurts. I don't watch this film series for the intelligence of the scripts or acting but to be entertained. I waS in spades. I also washed my mouth out with soap.
