Summary: Not one of the series' best.
Review: Jason gets his hockey mask (and kills a bunch of teens in the woods)! Plot-wise, that's the only thing differentiating it from the previous entries. There's also the fact that the movie was filmed in 3-D, which explains why there's a lot of dangerous objects waved maniacally in front of the screen. Not much in the way of suspense, and while Dana Kimmell and Catherine Parks are hot, neither get naked. The last twenty minutes, a big stalk and chase sequence, is pretty good, however, and the movie's only real saving grace. Better than part 2, but hardly the most enjoyable film of the series.

Summary: Jason 3 rules!
Review: Out of all the Jason movies so far I think part 3 is the most entertaining because of the biker gang and that weird guy with the afro hair pulling pranks on everyone. Also the pot head couple really brings in a couple of laughs just like the couple that comes out in the begining of the movie fighting. This movie is really a great movie to see.

Summary: Friday the 3rd time around!
Review: Just when you thought Jason was dead....well he's not in the sequel that started him wearing that creepy hockey mask for the rest of the series.Part 3 is at times slow and annoying ,but the rest of the 3-D effects from the theaters are some points hilarious on video.

Summary: the drugs in the film are great like the film itself
Review: Alot of people smoke weed in this film especially the two hippies and that just makes it more to like.Some of the best acting like chris the heroine of this film which i believe is the best female heroine in all the series and rick who plays her ex is so believable.Also this is one of the scariest films of the series.The deaths are great like when jason crushes ricks head with his hands and ricks eyeball pops out and the cool weed smoking chili who gets a fire poker threw her and one of my favorites when jason takes a spear and shoots it at this girl is real great.This movie also has its comedic moments like when the people are driving in the van smoking and the cops come up behind them they all think the cops are gonna arrest them they eat the weed but it turns out the cops are going to the scene where jason killed in part 2.The dvd is very good chilis murder is extended it has a cool theatrical trailer and the picture is good so buy it...

Summary: Saturday the 14th?
Review: "Why do they keep going back?!" you say. "Why do we keep building million dollar homes in earthquake prone southern California?". We just do. The bigger question is "If you're the police and a woman is attacked and you don't find her killer, wouldn't you kinda let people know or something?" Not at Crystal Lake. And so begins the third chapter of the little series that could. Paramedics haul off Ginny (Part 2) and Jason pulls the machete from his shoulder and scurries away for more carnage.This is my least favorite in terms of the "Why?" factor. Why is one of the girls pregnant? Wait. I know WHY she's pregnant; it just makes the filmmakers seem that much more vulgar when she is killed. Why, in the flashback scene, is Jason wearing his current clothes even though the flashback was several years ago and he didn't get the black jumpsuit until the beginning of this movie? Why does Jason apparently shave his head between Part 2 (which happens the night before) and Part 3? Why would you spend money on an expensive 3-D process and then leave the wires that control the snake, knife, eyeball, and harpoon visible? Wouldn't it be Saturday? Other than that, it's okay. What Steve Miner misses in continuity he makes up for during the chase scenes which are some of the best in the series. My biggest complaint is the complaint that I have of all the DVDs. Few extras and the cut print. This is particularly irritating this time out because of the alternate ending. In the alternate ending Chris wakes up in the canoe the next morning and goes back to the cabin. When she opens the door Jason is standing there and cuts her head clean off her shoulders!

Summary: Great slasher flick
Review: I think Part 3 is just as good as 2, and almost as good as 4. Stalking stupid kids and slaughtering them one by one is the trademark of the series, and in this one Jason proves once again why he's the king of slasher films. Lots of gory deaths: Jason squeezes a guy's head with his bare hands and the guy's eyeball pops out (Shoots directly at the screen), A woman gets skewered by a red hot fireplace polker, a kid has his throat slashed, a biker is impaled by a pitchfork, a girl gets a harpoon shot into her eye (my favorite), another girl on a hammock gets knifed from underneath through her chest (excellent effect), and a person walking on his hands is split from his crotch to his head. And that's not the half of it... These flicks make Nightmare on Elm St. and the Evil Dead look like Sesame Street. Great stuff.

Summary: 2nd Best in the Series
Review: THe Final CHapter is my favorite Friday but Part 3 is great in its own way. THis film picks off where Part 2 left off. Jason has just finished off a bunch of kids at Crystal Lake and now he's laying low in a barn owned by a redneck and his hag wife. Jason kills them and then moves to another barn where a bunch of kids have decided to spend their weekend. This group is probably the best of the Friday gangs. There are some memorable characters here, the best one is Shelly a fat white guy with an Afro! He claims to be an actor and he carries a little suitcase with his acting makeup in it, and he's always playing tricks on the others. The group also includes two nymphos and two potheads. Plus the heroine of the film Chris(yummy Dana Kimmell) and her hard-luck boyfriend Rick. This film was originally shown in theatres in 3-D but that effect is missing on the video and DVD. Still the movie is a terrific entry into the Friday series. Part 3 has great atmosphere, you really feel like you're out in the country. You also feel how menacing it gets at night out in the woods! THe kills here are really good and original. The 3-D effect was really important for two kills. When Jason kills Vera with the speargun to the eye, in 3-D you really see the spear coming at you! Also when Jason crushes Rick's head with his hands you actually see Rick's eye come out of the screen right into your face! Too bad you can't duplicate that effect on DVD or video. But the movie is good regardless. The acting is ok but the guy who plays Jason is really good. This Jason is probably one of the scariest. His makeup is grotesque, and he's huge, bald, with a nasty attitude! This movie is also important because this is the movie where Jason first wears his hockey mask, which he takes from Shelly, after slitting his throat of course. The DVD doesn't do this movie justice. There is a lot of delted footage that isn't even included as an extra. But don't let that stop you from renting and enjoying this classic.

Summary: Fady Ghaly's reviews
Review: My remarks toward this picture
You would think that by now Camp Crystal Lake would have forever been shuttered for vacationers worldwide, and that there would have been an FBI task force all throughout the camp's grounds in search of the killer causing all these deaths, but not here. Logical sense is nowhere to be found here, for here is where the series begins to go downhill in deliberation that it was once one to have initially been taken seriously. (Serious enough, anyway.) 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 death sequences here, such as the one where Andy, a sex-crazed teenager who has just impregnated his girlfriend not too long ago, his body is split in half lengthwise while walking on his hands. And then there's Rick, the leading character's wannabe manly but rather wimpy-looking boyfriend, whose eyeballs actually pop out of their sockets immediately after his head is crushed by Jason's awesome force. 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 case), 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 (hell, maybe these actors were really trying they were that bad, but for all I know they could've been bums freshly picked out of the streets), 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 fondest. Perhaps because this is the one where Jason departs from that ludicrous-looking bag of his which rather looked like some giant old sock with a hole that permitted him to see through one eye, and dons the infamous hockey mask, which, being a highly significant factor, presented a strong visual imagery of him, as the director had when he first introduced Jason as a child in present time at the end of the original. 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. (I completely admire his cunning style of filmmaking toward depictions of menacing lurking presence that could merely be from whom else but his favorite creation? I love the way he crafts it all together. He really knows how to pull us into the screen.) Although the characters in the films aren't always that appealing for the individuals in whom they are in general, these "wild bunch", as they were known to be, 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 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 times that have since haunted them. As a film which thinks it departs from provoking laughter, it fails. No doubt about it. But as a Friday the 13th film, it's purely and simply well-crafted from beginning-to-end; it's a perfect depiction of a summer camp trip 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 have no choice but to witness what becomes of those who fall victim to their stalker's rampage, until there was only one left who had to face all this horror on hers (or his) own. As the film tightened to its climax and the lone survivor was left alone 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-remain to be as I begin to perceive of the film's gradual change of climate and signs that the trip isn't the serene one it is made out to be, for they never are. Are they?

Summary: Jason's back, but why?
Review: This film pulls off the tough feat of being senseless, unoriginal and completely derivative of its predecessors while still being mildly entertaining. Despite 2 previous bloodbaths at Camp Crystal Lake (chronicled in the first 2 "Friday The 13th" films), yet another group of less attractive but equally sex-crazed teens travel there intent on reopening it. As you probably suspected, that murderous, non-speaking, zombie-like psycho Jason awaits them (he dons his infamous hockey mask for the first time in this installment) and many gory slayings ensue. The shocks work surprisingly well and the killings are as brutal as ever, but of course the finale degenerates yet again into a one-on-one chase between our antagonist and our heroine where, despite all appearances and no matter how hard she tries, he never seems to actually be dead. Ho hum.

Summary: part 3 is the best friday the 13th film
Review: Friday the !3th part 3 is easily the best film in the series. It is fast paced, especially with the chase scene at the end where Jason pursues Chris through the cottage and barn.There are twelve murders or so in this picture, all attributed to Jason: a woman is lying on a hammock and a knife goes through her throat, a man is walking on his hands and gets split in half by Jason's machete and then is later wrapped around a rafter.I just read a review about this picture saying that Jason was not the killer in the original Friday the 13th that Mrs Voorhees was. But I think it was both of them. For starters, when Annie,a camp counsellor gets a ride from probably Mrs Voorhees,realises her ride goes past a turnoff to Camp Crystal Lake and keeps going, she jumps from the car and runs into the forest. There she runs into a man(if you look closely you will see it is a man and not a woman) who slits her throat. Later, towards the end of the film, Jason throws the body of a camp counsellor through a window, and it is not til later that Mrs Voorhees turns up in her Jeep, meaning that Jason probably did a couple of the murders. Friday the 13th Part 3 is easily my most favourite horror movie of all time.
