Summary: Fady Ghaly's reviews
Review: Now here is where the series goes downhill in deliberation that it was once one to have initially been taken seriously, for this one was not at all in the sense that it would have likely wanted to be. The undistinguishing nature of Jason's victims permits consistency to fall by the wayside, thereby indicating the film's status as little more than a senseless thrill-machine.Obviously, it isn't really going to appeal to those outside of the genre. But to those who like things to be shockingly repellent, there are some really intense scenes here, such as the one where Andy, a sex-crazed teenager who has impregnated his gorgeous girlfriend, his body is split in half lengthwise while walking on his hands. Despite of what little subplot there was (something that is easily noticed from what little synopsis there was describing the film in the back of the cover), what little intelligence there was put into the script and what little effort there was put into the performances, for the majority of it was ever so laughable, it is one that manages to be both fun in nature and mean-spirited. It's an interesting little scare-fest that not only grossed out a greater audience when it was released in theaters than the last two for the usage of three-dimensional graphics, but somehow stood as my favorite. Perhaps because this is the one where Jason departs from that somewhat ludicrous looking bag of his and dons the infamous hockey mask, which, being a highly significant factor, presented a strong visual imagery of him. Also, perhaps because it's more conceptive with regards to the creative events and for the fact that acclaimed director Steve Miner injects it with a lot more atmosphere and tension, for I had completely admired his cunning style of filmmaking toward depictions of menacing lurking presence that could merely be from whom else but his favorite creation? Although the characters in the films aren't always that appealing for the individuals in whom they are in general, these "wild bunch" that were featured in this one were quite hysterical and classical. You, in fact, almost don't want to see them getting hacked apart, for the filmmakers actually manage to have us sympathize for a number of them; some of whom struggle with their self-image, while others strive to move on with their lives and not let the past hinder with them-dark themes that have since haunted them. It's only fair to say that this installment was simply and purely well-crafted from beginning-to-end; it's a perfect depiction of a summer camp horror movie gone wrong, for the campers, as day grew weary and the meteorological conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and wind, prevailed, ultimately find themselves trapped in a campground where they are rendered helpless and are forced to witness what becomes of those who fall victim to their foe's rampage, until there can only be one left who shall face this horror on hers-or his-own. As the film tightened to its climax and the lone survivor was left face-to-face with what has created havoc of her-or his-life, I was completely frozen with fear, and still, regardless of how many times I watch the film-for I have well over twenty times-remain to be as I begin to perceive of the film's gradual change of mood and signs that the trip isn't the serene one it is made out to be.

Summary: One Of The Best Of The Series.
Review: Friday The 13th Part 3 begins on the same night as Friday The 13th Part 2, with mad serial psycho Jason Voorhees on the loose and continuing to lower Crystal Lake's population. The story picks up with the last scene from the previous film, excluding the senseless, if scary, "Widow" scene, and instead showing the killer rising. We then go to meet Harold and Edna, an unhappy couple who run a small mini-store. While Harold fools around and eats food, Edna watches the news (where the newscaster is director Steve Miner) and hears that there's a killer still on the loose (of course, the scene IS a mistake, because it takes place the same night, but shows footage of the next day). Well, can you guess what happens to Harold and Edna? We then go to the next day, where we meet a nice, fresh btch of teenagers including Chris, who, for unknown reasons, is afraid of Crystal Lake, Chuck and Chilli, two dope smoking weirdos, Andy and Debbie, who unfortunately have a baby to look forward to in nine months (and still they make more?), prankster Shelly, who is after hot chick Vera, although Vera doesn't think to much of him. These kids are going up to Higgin's Haven, where Chris's summer home is, a few miles near Camp Crystal Lake, for a relaxing weekend. But, they haven't seen the news or heard the radio so they don't know that Jason is hanging out at Higgin's Haven. When they all get there Chis is reunited with herboyfriend Rick (Paul Kratka), who is urging her to go all the way, although she refuses to. And, to make things worse, Shelly is playing awful pranks and scaring Chris to death. So, Shelly and Vera go out to town, only to get trouble as a group of bikers steal their money and break their windshield. So, Shellly runs over their motorcycles, making the bikers angry, and making the bikers follow them to the camp..... Friday The 13th Part 3 is propably the best of the original four Friday movies. The acting is this entry is actually very ood and some of the charecters are funny. Jason really gets his hockey mask in this one too. Who could forget that scene where Jason comes walking out of the barn, onto the dock, with that gorgeous hockey mask, speargun in hand. It's a classic scene, heck, IT'S THE FIRST EVER SCENE OF JASON WEARING A HOCKEY MASK!!!!!. Also this one was the only one that scared me. None of the others scared me, but this one did. I don't know why. But I remember watching it, and clutching up close, to see what happens next. It just really scared me. But, you may be wondering about whether or not there is any point in watching this movie without the 3-D glasses. Well, I really had no problem with the lack of 3-D. I never saw it in theatres, but I think in 3-D it would not have been scary, because you're always waiting for the next cool thing to stick out at you. So I am fine watching this movie without glasses. It might not be the best movie for a party though (my friends complained every time there was a 3-D shot). This DVD is excellent. Unfortunately, Friday The 13th The Final Chapter, didn't get such a good DVD. The Final Chapter had a mudgey, mud like picture that seemed to have dots dancing around on the screen. But this one has a crisp, beautifull picture, with no distactions in color or mudges. The sound is fine, and the widescreen ratio (2:35:1) really shows what you've been missing. There's also a theatrical trailer (I love it) and Chilli's murder is extended (for more extended murders see Mrs. Voorhee's and Annie's deaths in the original). Well, a very nice DVD, for one of the best of the series. Go buy this movie now.

Summary: FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 A MUST HAVE ON DVD !
Review: I owned this title on VHS video for a number of years, had the opportunity to catch this title on the big screen in 3-D and now, I am glad to be the proud owner of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 on DVD. Despite the fact that this title was NOT presented in 3-D for financial and technological reasons, I was quite impressed of this title on DVD. We all know what the story is about, or lack thereof. Actually, I found this sequel to be the most scariest since its original film, with Jason creeping in and out of the barn, as this was the first film Jason gets his hockey mask, which would later become his trademark. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 has an amazing menu board, identical to the frontal video cover. Also, there is an amazing theatrical trailer that was the best I seen that would make me want to see this movie in an instant. And best of all, this is the only film in the Friday series to be presented in full widescreen (2.35:1) format, with the picture and sound quality that could never have sounded better. When I was watching this film on DVD, it was like watching another movie as there was more imagery, never seen fully as the former pan & scan VHS version definitely need the full widescreen treatment. Although the first two films are great on DVD, this is the title to WATCH on DVD. This is also best of the four Friday to be released on disc, to date. FRIDAY THE 13th - THE FINAL CHAPTER was a BIG disappointment on DVD. Get your copy of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3 on DVD today !!

Summary: Another basic repeat in the horror franchise.
Review: "Part III" is nothing more than what the original two films were, and it's less entertaining, in my opinion. Miner seemed to take a novel approach with this one. The B-movie shaky cameras are no-longer existent, making the film somewhat less thrilling. At the same time, the humor that pervades this sequel comes off as corny, rather than funny. Honestly, two dopeheads don't really belong in this series. Save that for "Halloween". This movie started Jason's cult appearance, as he bares his trademark hockey mask and goes after college kids who invade his forest habitat. Contrary to what many fans believe, this one actually takes place at a separate camp ground, Higgins Haven, located just miles down the road from Crystal Lake. And yet somehow, Jason manages to find them and kill them in fashionably violent, if not comical ways. Entertaining still, but the series started to show its limits, and needed to go off in a different direction, which it does starting with the fourth installment. Probably one of the weaker sequels, but a benchmark film nonetheless. It has its moments, and definitely captures the darkness provoked by its predecessors. It just seemed a little too hokey at this point.

Summary: Worst Friday movie
Review: Words cannot express how much I hate this movie. The acting is amongst the worst in the Friday the 13th movies. The scenes with 3-D look AWFUL and are almost unbearable to watch and the scenes with the bikers are flat out ridiculous. Also, the end is a cheap copycat from the original Friday the 13th. If you want to see good FT13 movies, check out parts 4 and 6

Summary: Jason Gets His TradeMark
Review: Probably one of the most popular chapters in the Friday The 13th series this one was originally released in movie theatres in 3-D. Jason is on the loose and out for more blood after what happened to him in part 2. He gets what's coming to him and some of the killings are more gruesome than the last two. They'll make you cringe. Jason also gets his infamous hockey mask in this one and it's even from a victim no less. If you're a fan of Friday the 13th this ones definitley for you!!!

Summary: How can people enjoy this movie?
Review: When i first heard about this movie, people where saying "Oh, its so cool! Oh, its awesome." So, when i got my hands in it, i was soooooo dissapointed: Bad actors/actresses, dumb 3D effects, many logic and acting errors, and a extremly bad storyline. I concider myself a fan of these movies, but this movie is the stupidest movie in the whole serie (except for part 5: A New Beginning). Some newbie horror fans might enjoy this movie, but for the rest of us: KEEP AWAY!

Summary: It's Not In 3-D. That Doesn't Matter!!!!
Review: Director Steve Miner, who also directed the 2nd Friday The 13th film, returns for Part 3, and he chose to make the film in 3-D. I did not see this film in theatres in 3-D. And I wish I had. But on DVD it's just as good without. This is propably the most frightening film in the series. Jason is scarier then ever before. The murders are propably the goriest and the most scary of the original four. It is one day after the events in Friday The 13th Part 2, and now, mad killer Jason Voorhees is on the loose. Meanwhile, a new group of teenagers have decided to stay for a weekend at Camp Higgin's Haven, a few miles from Camp Crystal Lake. However, Chris, our heroine, is not looking forward to the trip. Two years earlier she suffered a traumatic shock and is going to Higgin's Haven to face her personal demons. Her boyfriend, Rick, is a little bit annoyed with her, and attempts to get her back to her normal self. Meanwhile, Jason arrives at Higgin's Haven, and the murders begin. Part 3 has more little subplots that are a nice little touch. There's also much, much more humor than before (my personal favorite charecter is Shelly). Now, as you all know, since the film was shot in 3-D, many objects are thrown at the screen. Some people think this is annoying. I don't mind. Without the 3-D the film still stands on it's own as scary, maybe more scary. I would vote for #3 as the scariest of the series, because it is. I don't know why, but it is.
