Summary: 4 STARS FOR DVD,-1 FOR PARAMOUNTS LOUSY JOB
Review: First of all I can remember watching this movie when I was eight years of age and it scared the hell out of me. When I found out it was on DVD I was pleased and quickly purchased it. I found watching now that I'm in my twenties it is still a great horror/slasher film,it didn't give me nightmares like when I was a kid but it certainly will make you jump at scenes. This movie is about a group of teenagers that take a weekend and visit a friends cabin near Camp Crystal Lake. The main character has alreadly encountered Jason before when she ran away from home and went to the woods. I like the concept of mystery that she saw Jason but didn't know about the murders at Camp Crystal,and the fact that her friends don't realize either. Friday The 13th 3 uses the same winning formula as other classic 80's slashers,scary music(composed by Harry Manfredini) that did the original score,same atmosphere(the woods,lake,barn)and by far the best and most brutal deaths of the franchise,including a guy walking on his hands and getting split in half, and a harpoon in the eye(just to name a few). This is a classic and a collector for Friday The 13th fans,Jason finally ditches the .... ku klux klan sheet,and gets his famous hockey mask 1)BRILLANT SCORE BY HARRY MANFREDINI FROM ORIGINAL FRIDAY THE 13TH,2)DECENT ACTING(WAY BETTER THEN 2,4 AND THE ... NEW BEGINNING),3)SURPISING SCARES,PLUS SINCE IT WAS IN 3D IN THE THEATERS YOU STILL GET SORT A FEELING STUFF IS MORE DIRECTED TO THE SCREEN(EYEBALL,RAT,SNAKE,HARPOON,AXE,ETC.),4)PLUS HIGH QUALITY PICTURE(WIDESCREEN)AND THREATICAL TRAILER(WHICH PARAMOUNT SOMETIMES DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE) LAME PARAMOUNT,NO EXTRAS,BUT BEST FRIDAY THE 13TH FILM, PART 3 IS REALLY THE ONLY ONE WORTH OWNING,WATCH (THE BURNING) INSTEAD OF THE OVERRATED FTH13 1 THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE JASON IN IT.

Summary: Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D
Review: Friday the 13th Part 3 is the third entry in the long running horror series. Part 3 is not a bad film. It has its moments. It was originally made for 3-D. You will notice knives, eyeballs, and pitchforks thrusted at the screen. It really isn't that great of a job, but who cares? It was made in the 80's. Anyway, let me get to my review and tell you a bit about the story.This one takes place directly after Part 2. We show what happened in the very end of Part 2. From there, we move on to Part 3. Jason leaves his mother behind and moves on. He goes to a store, creeps around, and kills the owner and his wife. The next day, Chris (Dana Kimmel) is getting all her friends together to go to Higgins Haven, a ranch near Crystal Lake. She brings along sex-crazed Andy, his pregnant girlfriend, Debbie, a prankster, Shelly, a good friend, Vera, and a dope smoking couple, Chuck and Chili. Chris and her friends get to the barn where they meet her boyfriend, Rick. Jason, of course, is there. He hides in the barn and wait for his prey. Shelly and Vera go to a grocery store and encounter a biker gang trio. Shelly ruins their motorcycles and gets them angry. The trio sneaks back to where the friends are staying. They try to burn down the barn, but Jason has other plans instead. It becomes nightfall, and Rick and Chris head out to a quiet place. We learn that Chris was attacked by a man at Higgins Haven before. That's why it was hard to come back. Of course, this man was Jason. Back at the ranch, Jason comes out of the barn and begins stalking Andy, Shelly, Vera, Debbie, Chuck, and Chili. Chris and Rick come back to the ranch. They find nobody around. Soon the two become split up. Chris goes looking for Rick. While this is happening, Jason is crushing Rick's head. This leads to the eyeball popping out (that 3-D!). Soon, Chris is fleeing from Jason. She finally is chased into the barn where our conclusion takes place. Plot - It didn't really have a plot. It was just Jason going to another place and killing another batch of teenagers. Sure, that's fine and all. But, why is Jason still killing people? He got back at that woman who killed his mother. Why more people? Just a question. It was an okay plot.
80/100 Acting - The acting in this movie is so-so. I really like the acting from the supporting cast (Andy, Debbie, Shelly, and Chuck). Yet, the main star, Chris (Dana Kimmel), didn't do it for me. When she was cornered, she would like whimper or start like freaking out in a weird way. I don't know.
87/100 Scary - This movie isn't really scary except for the first 20 minutes. The rest of the movie is just a slasher movie. I wouldn't consider this really scary.
75/100 Killings and Gore - In this Jason movie, my count was 12. Some are creative, yet others are just the usual. There is a lot of gore in this movie though. Blood is spilled. I think any Jason fan would like this movie.
90/100 DVD or Video - I have the DVD of Friday the Part 3. They did a really nice job of cleaning up the grains off the video version. The movie looks brand new on DVD. As for extras, there is a theatrical trailer. Yes, there is only one feature. It's an okay trailer. I think New Line and Paramount should team together and put extras on all these movies. They should also think about cleaning up "Friday the 13th:The Final Chapter". That was a big disappointment on DVD.
89/100 Fun - Is this movie fun? Should I buy it? Should I rent it? My answer is this. I thought the movie was fun. It's fun to watch on those nights when you have nothing to do. I think any Jason fan should buy it. Others might want to rent it first.
Fun - 92/100 Overall - This movie is a good movie. It isn't scary though. If you want a scary movie, watch "Halloween" the original, or "The Exorcist". It is fun though. Anyone can have a great time watching it.
Overall - 86/100 Rated R for strong violence, gore, some language, and brief sexuality/nudity. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Summary: Good Ol' Bloody Fun.
Review: This is precisely an improvement over the last one, Jason is still on the loose somewhere near a farmhouse occupied by College students, yet Jason still wants blood. This is a excellent sequel full of literally Eye-popping gore effects that would make you cringe. Originaly shot in 3-D, i just wish that Paramount would make a Special edition that would feature this in it's 3-D format with 3-D glasses including having it Uncut.

Summary: My Favorite of the Series
Review: "Friday the 13th Part 3" is my favorite of the entire series. Of course there is the obligatory killing and naked women running around, but I think the best part of this film is the 3-D effects that were used back in the early 80's when 3-D movies were popular. Even though the film technically isn't in 3-D anymore, the gags used to make the 3-D effect are hilarious. The humor alone makes this film worth seeing. I would highly recommend watching this film if you want a scare and a good laugh!

Summary: JASON RULES THE WOODS...
Review: Out of all the Friday the 13th movies I love this one the best in my opinon this one gets 10 stars because it was so ... funny. And Jason was such a great actor for what went on, I just love how the whole thing was done, and the actor Kane Hodder rocks big time in this one it is his best performance in my opinon they should put him in the Jason vs Freddy movie because he is the best Jason for the part... I love the screams in it too those were the best ones. And I'm not the only one who says that too there are others,like a friend of mine her and I are big fans. Jason Rules The Woods!!!!

Summary: Identical plot as 1 and 2 + Hockey Mask = Part 3
Review: Alright. The plot is exactly the same as one and two. A group of teenagers go to Camp Crystal Lake (AKA Camp Blood) and they all die except one female. However, this does mark the first appearance of the infamous hockey mask. All in all, there are some pretty cool death scenes (i.e. fishing spear to the eye). Also, it's pretty fun to watch. However, I'd recommend Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter instead of this one. But, if you're a collector like me, go for it. Buy it. It's worth it for the die-hard Friday fans.

Summary: Friday The 13th Part 3 is o.k.
Review: Well, overall this is a good movie but I think it falls short. First, Jason is running after his prey, in all other Jason films, he walks. This DVD also has corny extras. It has a theatrical trailer only. Originally filmed in 3-D, the 2-D version is ok. If you are a big Friday The 13th fan, you can still obtain this DVD in 3-D on eBay. You will require the LCD shutter glasses. Plus, you get on the 3-D version trailer in 3-D and extra gore, including deaths from the first 2. The 3-D version is way better!!

Summary: If your collecting Jaso, don't wait for this one!
Review: i must say, this movie was the most credited of the friday the 13th series. it seems all the other good ones were .... all over by critics. anyway, it rules! it's REALLY good seing that it is the only one that relates to the first-while jason wears his hockey mask! its also the first of the series where jason gets his hockey mask. he looks kinda funny too, since he looks like a bald guy with a mask. he does, he looks like a regular normal human with a mask on, except his neck looks saggy. anyway, it takes place with teens who come to the lake, thinking jasons dead, but of course not. Jason also has has a new type of victims, a biker gang! so not only is jason terrorizing teens (as usual) he gets to face a biker gang! great movie, with the original friday the 13th music score. the violence is fun, considering a girl getting a harpoon in the eye. if you are collecting the friday the 13th series on dvd like me, i suggest this is the one you get first! and, i highly reccomend Friday the 13th part 3: 3d, that's right you get to watch jason in 3d. along with friday the 13th part 3, i reccomend friday the 13th part 4, friday the 13th part 6: jason lives, and friday the 13th part 8: jason takes manhatten

Summary: (to the tune of "Walking on the Moon" by the Police)
Review: Giant risks are what you take,
walking on your hands. I hope that blood is fake!
Walking on your hands. He got you while you're upside down;
walking on your hands. You're dying at this old Camp Ground,
walking on...
walking on your hands. Guts will spray;
A 3-D rampage on Friday;
Melee! Don't even try to get away;
he'll slay You'd better hope God hears you pray;
today... Jason's coming your way! Chop me up.
E-yow-e-yow-yow-yow! Chop me up. E-yow-e-yow-yow-yow!

Summary: Sir, Will That Be Paper Or Plastic To Go With Your Head?
Review: After the ending of Part 2 left the handsomely rugged (well, one out of two isn't bad) Vorhees with a machete in the back of his neck, it seemed that the worst was over. Camp Crystal Lake, an area stretching just over four square miles, had been the sight of eight grotesque murders, with the media speculating over rumors of mutilations and cannibalism that had followed in suite. Still, and ending had been achieved. As is the case with many a primal killing machine, however, one blow is often not enough to do the deed - especially if that blow is to the lower neck on the back of the aggressor - and Jason was left with the ability to breath, thereby allowing him to heal and start again. Enter a van loaded with seven occupants on their way to a secluded home just outside of Crystal Lake, lead by a former introductee to Mr. Vorhees scarred by the run-in and who wants to confront and vanquish those demons. Well, her friends are there for her like good friends should be, and they opt to journey into the seclued home where the deed took place to have fun/ be there for her. On the way there they are confronted by an elderly gentlemen that tells them, amidst his insane rambling, that they are all in peril and to flee, but this is a time for fun and sun so they ignore this herald and continue on with their troubled colleague. Yes, her friends are there for her, until the would-be fun turns into a nightmare and then the dying times begin. While showing some signs of aging in the world of more modern effectual bliss, the movie still has some strong points in the ways of slasher flicks and is the portion of the Friday the 13th legacy that introduced a icon into the fold. That's because it was here, amidst the suffering introduced to many a victim, that the persona of Jason was adopted and his mask was found. Still, that's only one of the points I liked about the movie. Personally, I enjoy the drawn out stalking that takes place as Jason plays cat-and-mouse in those early days, letting the audience familiarize themselves with his potential victims before the killing begins. This lets personalities develop amongst the troops, showcasing two chronically abusive merrymen as they seek out high after high, a local countryboy, the damaged damsel, the two lovers that are expecting, the jerk/prankster, and the somewhat stuck-up blind date as they wander toward that machete-toting brick wall. Combine this with the fact that there are plenty of other disposable portions of suffering to pad the scenes, letting the mind do a little shopping and follow a few bikers into the realms of attitude correction, and you have yourself a funderland of experiences. If you've seen other Friday the 13ths and you are looking for some of the more serious slasher times, then this is one of introduction points. The effects aren't the best here and the storyline does have its holes, but the characters tend to find ways to overcome that and the ending chase and the damage that ensues in the end more than make up for it. Its like a fun-loving romp, with scissors!
