Summary: This is awful!
Review: Twenty-four hours after the events of "Friday the 13th, Part 2" took place, serial murderer Jason Voorhees goes to a nearby camp called Higgins Haven, to terrorize some campers.

Jason finally gets his infamous hockey mask in this installment. However, I was disappointed that the movie never actually showed him putting on the mask; we only see Jason suddenly appear in one scene with the hockey mask already on!

The death scenes were not as gruesome as those in part two. One of the things I hated about this movie is that Jason slits the throat of one of his victims offscreen! I think when fans go to watch a "Friday the 13th" movie, they want to see every slice that Jason makes on his victims; the film makers let fans down by letting something happen offscreen.

The movie might be awful, but there is some very little entertainment to be gained from it (this is what saved the film from getting one star from me); the entertainment factor was reduced due to the horrible acting by some of the cast. Unless you're a big fan and must watch every film of the franchise, I don't recommend this film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oooh, what a stinker!
Review: Yet another group of sex-crazed teens arrives near Camp Crystal lake (not even in the camp this time) and are brutally murdered. One of them this time is a girl who was raped by Jason many years ago (showing, I guess, that Jason too is sex-crazed). Their group is hassled by some biker punks who wind up being killed by Jason also.
Oh man do I hate this movie! I wish I had the time back that I wasted on watching it! It is pointless (more so than the previous 2 entries) and insulting! The only moment worthy of note is when Jason appears wearing his infamous hockey mask, but this does not by any means help the film. The characters are stupid or boring and ugh just about everything else in the film is bad, most of it leaving a bad taste in my mouth!
I sighed with relief when Jason is hung (supposedly killing him) because than I knew it wouldn't be long before the movie came to an end.
One (intentional?) funny moment: when Jason removes his mask, in order to reveal he was the one who raped the lead girl. I laughed mainly because how pathetic the scene was.
Avoid this one if you can, and you'll thank me.

Summary: Halloween rip-off doesn't mean bad
Review: Did you ever wonder where Michael Myers had gone when you watched Halloween 3? Well, it appears that in 1982 Michael switched to the Friday 13th series instead. You see him standing behind the laundry, like he did in the first Halloween, you see his back and shoulders while he like a mysterious shade is watching people, and he is wearing similar clothes but has a new mask... But wait? It's not Michael, it's Jason! How could I confuse those guys? You can surely tell by the sound effects that it's Jason (or his mother).

CHI-chi-chi-chi-HA-ha-ha-ha
You know, that sound effect.

Seriously, the third Friday 13th movie seems to borrow quite heavily from the first two Halloween films. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. We have the relentless killer and the young people and they are put together. And like Halloween II this one begins about where the last one ended (or at least with news reports about bodies being found).

Still the movie *is* a Friday 13:th film. It's the camp by a lake. And being the third time, it almost makes it more exciting couse you know the kids are doomed (hmm, I wonder what this says about me?).

There is a new theme in this film, that sound very 80:ies. Almost like a video game. Quite short, but delivers what it promises but not much more. But it promises young people being killed by a mindless killer, and some 80:ies music, and that's good enough for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Friday the 13th Part 3
Review: A New Dimension In Terror.

Wow. This was really a great movie. Except it is not in the way it came out in theatres(which was in 3-d.) In the dvd is in I think in 2-d. It dosen't look quite as good in 3-d(I think). But I hope one of these days Paramount will release this movie in 3-d. The dvd has no real features.

This movie is presented in a widescreen presentation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Friday The 13th Part 3 (1982)
Review: Seems as though the fans of the whole Friday The 13th franchise can never get enough. In 1982, director Steve Miner brought us another sequel entitled, Friday The 13th Part 3, Steve Miner's second turn in directing a Friday The 13th film, his first being 1981's Friday The 13th Part 2.

In this horrifying chapter, which starts off by showing what happened at the end of the second film, Jason (played by Richard Brooker) goes on to feed on more victims. Now, this sequel is sort of a continuation of the last film, just like Halloween 2 continued on from the first Halloween. First, Jason stumbles onto a married couple named Harold and Edna. Harold is an insecure man, who allows his b*tch of a wife order him around. Edna watches the news and find out about the murders from the second film (when this film is actually taking place only a day after the second film). At that moment, Harold comes running into the house to "make a call to nature". He finishes his bathroom business, but he hears a strange noise coming from outside the bathroom door. He opens the door and Jason knocks him off, where Jason then kills Edna.

The next morning, a van pulls up into a nice looking neighborhood. Inside the van are Chris Higgins (played by Dana Kimmell), Debbie (played by Tracie Savage), Andy (Jeffrey Rogers), Shelley (played by Larry Zerner), and potheads, Chuck (played by David Katims) and Chili (played by Rachel Howard). They are on their way to Chris' family cabin in Camp Crystal Lake for the weekend. Right now, they're stopping to pick up Vera Sanchez (played by Catherine Parks), a girl who is going along as a date for Shelley. Shelley is very insecure about his looks and weight. In order for him to get people to like him, he has to scare the ever-loving sh*t out of them.

The friends pull up to the cabin, where Chris is greeted by her boyfriend, Rick (played by Paul Kratka). After another Shelley-scaring-the-hell-out-everyone joke, Vera and Shelley drive off to the grocery store to get some food for the weekend, where they have a run-in with three bikers named, Ali (played by Nick Savage), Loco (played by Kevin O'Brien), and Fox (played by Gloria Charles). Shelley pays them back with revenge, but not before the bikers follow them back to the cabin, where they plan to set the kids' barn on fire. Before they even have a chance to burn the place, Jason takes care of business with the three of them.

That night, Chris and Rick go for a long ride, just to catch up on things. Chris hasn't seen Rick for two years, since she hadn't gone back until now. Her reason: she was attacked by Jason and nearly killed by him. As she tells Rick the story of her terrifying ordeal, their car breaks down, `causing them to walk back to the cabin.

At the cabin, Debbie and Andy have a little fun in the sac, until Debbie goes to get a shower. Andy goes for a beer, but is evilly greeted by Jason. Debbie finishes her shower and goes to bed, but she is then killed by Jason. Shelley again scares the crap out of Vera, this time where an old goalie mask. He goes off into the barn, all hurt from the way Vera yelled at him. But Shelley does not come back out; Jason comes out, wearing the goalie mask. He finds Vera and shows her how to play darts with just her left eye.

Chuck and Chili also greet their demise. Chris and Rick return, but Rick is suddenly killed by Jason. Chris is all alone to battle Jason. She battles him in the barn. As she battles Jason, Ali suddenly appears to be alive. He tries to help Chris out, but Jason really finishes him off. As he kills Ali, Chris grabs an axe and jams it into Jason's forehead. He drops down to the ground and appears to be dead. It is then where Chris realizes that Jason is the one who attacked her all those years ago.

Chris then goes off into a canoe and falls asleep. She wakes up and is relieved to find that morning has arrived. She finds Jason still alive and is running after her. As she tries to sail away with the canoe, she finds that she was only hallucinating. But at that moment, Mrs. Voorhees' dead body jumps up out of the lake and grabs Chris violently and pulls her underneath the water. But Chris is lucky to find that it was only dream. Chris is unlucky in the fact that she has gone completely mental from this whole ordeal.

I told you twice before: no more camping until Jason is finished having his fun. But watch Friday The 13th Part 3, if you've enjoyed the first two films.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2 1/2 stars
Review: Friday the 13th,Part III starts up right where part II ended. Then another group of young adults go to the camp crystal lake area and encounter Jason. The same events happen as in the first two Friday the 13th films. Do take not however this one is where Jason gets his hockey mask!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very good sequel
Review: I do not think that the friday the 13th series is overrated at at all. The first real good sequel is part 3, where a girl named chris goes to kick it with her friends at a cabin lodge. Jason shows up of course and kicks ass. My favorite Friday sequels are part 3 and 6 because they have good characters and does not come across as a cheesy b-grade horror movie like the other 7 sequels.
Make another Jason movie like this(new Line) because Paramount treated the franchise like a joke but still cranked out better jason movies than you have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't miss this one!!!!
Review: Now that we have been properly introduced to Jason, we can immediately start the movie with him appearing. He first kills random people after the second "counselor dispatch spree" because he gets bored, and then our next group arrives. They are no more cautious about Mr. Goalie than the other group from Part 2 was. One by one, Jason gets them, including a group of gangsters who are there to seek revenge for an ugly confrontation in town that happened with the teenage counselors. For some reason he leaves one unconcious (who has to say bye bye to his hand later) probably because he has no better weapon. Eventually, he gets his hockey mask from Shelly, and then he mutilates everyone else except Dana Kimmell, who is literally the bravest girl you will ever see in these movies, except for maybe the physicic Tina in "The New Blood". Going back to Kimmell, though, she stabs Jason, beats him down, and at the end gives him his sleepy medicine. Of course, we all know that sleepy potion is only for a while.

Some of the best, yet scary scenes in here are where Rick's face is squeezed out and where Jason's mask is taken off, revealing to Dana Kimmell that Jason is the person who chased her through the woods some time ago. The only question is, why did he change his looks from long hair to bald?

Oh, well; it doesn't matter. Nevertheless, don't miss this movie if you want to get a good, action packed start on the Jason legacy.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: 'LE' Classic
Review: nous asisston a un des meilleurs volet de toute la saga Vendredi 13. L'histoire encore une fois est plutot banal comme pour le précédent , apparament Jason n'est pas mort il revient hanté le Camp Cristal lake , la fille survivante du derniers par crainte revien sur les lieux ou s'avais dérouler le massacre , elle a un peu peur (je l'a comprend d'hailleurs) Tout allais pour le mieux jusqua la dispute avec les 3 motards qui vienne ce venger et apres se font sauvagement assasiner. Ce film est le meilleurs de la série et CULTE pour moi parce que les meurtres comparativement au derniers épisode sont tres efficace , d'une violence extreme , je tien a préciser qu'un mec ce fait couper en deux par la machette de jason. Tout les racines de Vendredi 13 y sont comme , Jason trouve sont mask de hockey suivis de sa machette qui resteron pour toujours dans les épisode a venir. 'LA' sicatrice du coup d'hache de la scene final restera marqué a jamais sur le coté de sont mask , un douloureux souvenir je doit avouer , je suis fan de cette épisode a voir absolument pour tout fan de slashers.
