Rating: Summary: this movie is good and bad Review: GOOD- it was a great horror movie. jason gets blown up. some idiot actually eats his heart. after that jason is able to possess that character and he does. its is kinda creepy how jason can be any1 or anywhere and you would never know. the beginning ambush was cool and a nice try might i add. but just not good enough. the story line was a good one and yes more complex then story lines in the 80s friday flicks. the gore and the tent scene was great.BAD- the heart became an alien like creature. that part was the stupidest thing i have ever seen. jason is not an alien or demon. he is simply a zombie that still has his soul in his decayed body. the little thing,heart-monster, needs to go into a voorhees to be reborn. cool story but corney execution. he comes out with the mask on and everythin. lets not try and make this even remotely realistic now. not that horror movies are really even suposed to be but that was just a little too much. OVERALL- great story line. pretty cool movie(mostly). but some of the film was just too corney. it is good enough to buy though. so pick it up and YOU be the judge of this 1.
Rating: Summary: The Best Friday the 13th Sequel Review: In this ninth installment ( which was said to be the last - though "Jason X" will be released sometime later this year), is a surprisingly good sequel. In fact, it is the best "Friday the 13th" sequel. However, this film does have it's flaws. In the very first "Friday the 13th", it is made clear that Jason was an only child. But in this film, Jason suddenly has a sister(!). The film starts with a solid opening sequence, and the ending is even better. A top notch production which was nicely directed by Adam Marcus. This is also the best acted film of the series. Kudos to New Line Cinema (who acquired the rights from Paramount) for taking this series into a - much needed - new direction. A must for all horror fans.
Rating: Summary: WELL... Review: Well i dont care if the acting in the friday the thirteenth series isnt that great(understatement)I also dont care if the story line is the same every single darn movie.I dont care if the special effects are dated.And no i dont care whatsoever if they are cheesy, i saw every one of these movies and liked them...Ok this is the final chapter in the cult classic series.It has some cool parts jason fans will dig, but to end the years and all the movies theyve made, i must say something just doesnt seem right.I think they s houldve made another one, but hey im sort of partial.Buy this movie if you like horror movies.
Rating: Summary: The best of the Friday 13th movies Review: While Scream would come along and do the parody/homage to the slasher movie genre in a few years, this movie did a great job of alternating loving and hating the series upon which it was based. Friday the 13th with slight variation was always about a faceless serial killer who silently stalked his victims and always managed to kill them while they were having sex. While people would crow about the sex=death Victorian morality, the whole point was to get sex and violence on the screen at the same time. Friday the 13th may not have been the best of the genre but it was certainly the longest lasting, if only because it was relatively cheap to film on the same set. This movie was where everyone decided that it was tired (as it had been for the last three movies) and decided to send it off with a rousing tribute to horror movies. Jason suddenly gets a background, a disembodied soul (to explain all those "I'm not quite dead yet" moments from the first 8 movies) and a mission. Based on this movie you could even make a case for the mother from the first movie being possessed by Jason and if only Drew Barrymore had thought of that at the beginning of Scream that character would have survived all the three movies -- then again, would that be a good thing? Not only does this movie send off the series, but also celebrates the death of the serial killer genre. By making Jason into a soul-....... demon complete with exorcism scenes, this movie is giving into the main slasher competition, ie. the demon genre. Freddy Krueger's glove and the book from the Evil Dead trilogy only cement that death. After this movie, slasher movies would have to be self-referential and ironic to be taken seriously. Buy it. It's a fun horror movie, but it definitely goes against the Friday the 13th genre. Then again, the Friday the 13th genre was getting stale by this time anyhow.
Rating: Summary: Jason Goes To Hell....Boy Does He ever. Review: When I first saw this movie I did not see any other Jason Vohees slasher films. Although this movie is extremely gory (there's a scene where he sqeezes a woman's head and blood shoots out the top) it's really cool. The story: Jason is blown to bits by the FBI but when the morge guy sees his heart begin to beat it posses him to eat it. Now he has become Jason Vorhees. Cool but maybe a little to gory. There is also an uneeded sex scene but I guess that keeps with the Jason films. Rated R for gore, gore, and more gore, a sex scene with nudity, violence, and profanity.
Rating: Summary: I don't get it Review: Take a look at the original "Friday the 13th" movie. Before getting murdered Jasons mother says: "Jason, my only child." Now take a look at part 9. In this movie plays Jasons sister. I think this is very confusing! Also, Jason is only in the movie for about 5 minutes. The rest of the movie is boring, with gory murders and stupid dialoges. I think Jason X wil be much better.
Rating: Summary: Unbelievably bad Review: I can remember renting this movie and actually enjoying the first parts of it...up until right after the coroner chows down on Jason's heart. Unfortunately that's the only scene in the whole movie that I did like. Though I also enjoyed how it made fun of all those tabloid news shows that take themselves way too seriously. The rest of the movie I felt was pointless and so bad I actually laughed through the rest of it. Are you sure this is horror? It felt much more like a gory comedy to me.
Rating: Summary: Mildly entertaining. Review: After the supposedly 'final' Freddy film, the Friday the 13th series jumped on the bandwagon with this, the supposedly 'final' Jason film. I seem to remember a film called 'Friday the 13th:The Final Chapter' as well. Strange. Everything about this film is contrived and unlikely. It turns out that Jason has a sister (despite the fact that it was stated quite clearly in Part 1 that had was an only child), and Jason, it would appear, is in fact a worm-like creature which can jump from body to body. If that's true then why did it stay in the decomposing body it was in for so long? There is no real explanation as to what is going on, the whole thing is unnecessarily mean-spirited and gratuitous, and somebody obviously thought that throwing in cameos of various items from other horror films would somehow make up for the fact that the ice-hockey-masked maniac is nowhere to be seen for most of the film. And do doctors really make a habit out of biting the hearts of corpses? This film gains stars for at least trying to be original, and is quite entertaining and amusing, but how many more 'final' Friday the 13th films are there going to be?
Rating: Summary: Please tell me this isn't a part of the series Review: Spoilers ahead,but don't worry.The movie's already a rotten ba-da-bing! I'm a huge Friday fan.When I saw the poster and theatrical trailer,it looked like the perfect F13th movie.I was one of the very first people who in the theaters to see it (better yet it was the ultra-violent unrated version). Now I feel sick to my stomach for what the film makers have done to the series.I absolutely hated the way they butchered the series.Here are the flaws galore of the movie- 1.Jason's screen time was practically useless.I know he wasn't in Parts 1 and 5,but those had redeeming qualities.This has virtually none.Jason is only in this for like 10 minutes.This was probably the biggest reason why I didn't enjoy the movie. 2.The storyline is extremely confusing and is right up there with Phantasm 4 in that it has a confusing story.The idea of Jason having a sister was very lame and him possessing people was just plain dumb.He should be slicing and dicing teens with everything from machetes,axes,spearguns and more,but he shouldn't be invading people's bodies. 3.Jason's new look is VERY lame.He looks like a loser with skin bubbling over his mask and hair sticking out the back.He screams like a girl here too.He was really mean in the first eight,but he's a total wimp here.I hate the way he was changed. 4.I was quite bothered with the fact that so many ideas from other movies were stolen.Jason being able to possess people is right from The Hidden and him having a sister is straight outta Halloween. The only things I liked were the insane gore,neat special F/X and the incredibly awesome ending,but everything else I absolutely hated.Everyone involved with this should be ashamed.I hope Jason X has nothing to do with this and I certainly hope that Freddy vs.Jason doesn't involve this piece of trash.Pick up Parts 4 and 6 for maximum satisfaction but avoid this like you would Jason himself.Unrated,but contains explicit slasher violence,lots of profanity,strong sexuality and bizarre imagery.
Rating: Summary: I liked it... Review: I thought this movie was pretty good! It has more of a developing plot than some of the others in the series (such as Jason being ressurected, then killing stupid teens at camp crystal)...well to understand the plot switches, see the movie. The violence level is pretty high, so those horror fans that get squeamish should not apply (if your watching the un-rated version, but if your seeing the R-rated version, you'll be ok). I can't wait for Friday the 13th part 10 (coming soon), and unfortunatly, Jason VS Freddy has been canceled (seriously, this is not a rumor, it has been canceled)...I read all about it in a famous UK horror magazine interview...
