Summary: The Marriage of Jason and Hockey Mask
Review: Alright! This is the one where Jason gets his hockey mask! This is the first really decent Friday the 13th flick, which says ALOT. Directed by Steve Miner (who helmed the previous one and went on to direct Halloween: H20), Friday the 13th, Part 3 is still just a mad slasher movie, but this time done with real style. If you hated the first two, you just might like this one.

Summary: The coward. Hiding behind a mask, are we?
Review: I like Friday the 13th movies. This one [I do not}.The fact is is that this movie just isn't SCARY. There is nothing in here that could frighten even the most cowardly of toddlers. It's just a series of different ways people are killed by a homocidal lunatic. A homocidal lunatic... with a hockey mask. That's right, ol' Jason picks up his trademark hockey mask from an overweight, totally unlikable guy named Shelly in this one. So woopty-doo! He's upgraded from pillow-sack-with-a-hole-in-it to a hockey mask. It still isn't scary! Avoid this sequel. It's really just a remake of Part 2 with different characters. Watch Parts 1, 4, 6, and 9 for quality scares, and 2, 5, 7, 8, 10 for campy fun. Plot? Ha! Any Jason fan (I am one) would laugh in your face at the notion of any kind of motive to Jason's drumgo killings. He just has this thing against Crystal Lake Camp counselers. And this time he mows through another batch. Here's an idea: make it in 3D again so the people who aren't interested in the series can still have some fun.

Summary: The Best Of Jason Voorhees!
Review: Taking place at Higgins Haven, in the wilderness close to Camp Blood, is one of my all-time favorite slasher sequels! Ranking in #1 as my favorite Friday flick, Jason here closes in on his first hockey mask, slashing away at some of the series' most colorful characters, including the big-wigged, nerdy, overweight, ghastly-looking Shelly, a biker group (Ali,Loco,Fox), the dorky Chris Higgins love interest Rick, and Chris herself, played by Dana Kimmell, who much like Alice at the beginning of Part 2, is haunted by horrific memories. Chris had been attacked by a mysterious man in the woods, who ofcourse is the legend himself... Jason Voorhees. Throughout the film we get eye-spearing, throat-slitting, body-halving, and head-crushing to the moment of eye-popping.
Some of the best death scenes in slasher history! Jason ofcourse gets the hockey mask from Shelly, and would find it a suitable disguise for his entire horror career. The beginning credits of this film are absolutely fun, just like the first two slash-fests. However, Harry Manfredini puts a new twist to the score, which is quality horror-stuff! Director Steve Miner, out-does himself with his second run at the helm of the Friday series. The woodsy settings of these films are apart of the formula that has made these movies classics. And the settings are always enhanced by great cinematography.

Summary: The Beginning of the Hockey Mask
Review: Friday the 13th needed a place to go after the first two. I think it is neat to continue the terror right from the same day. The best thing that came from part three was the hockey mask. The scene at the end where he gets the axe it awesome, it finally stopped the mad killer, or did it? At least until the next sequal. I think in horror films, this movie puts Jason Vorhees up there with Wolfman, Frankenstien, and Dracula....

Summary: GORE to the masses!
Review: The slasher film makes its mark in 1980 bringing "Friday The 13th" to the masses. With gore galore, a mysterious maniac hacks
up camp counselors at Camp Crystal Lake and the level-headed public gobbles it up at the box office. "Friday The 13th" was the beginning of the slasher flick empire. The unknowing counselors prepare the camp for summer, all the while being
stalked by an unseen predator. We know that most of them will die, we just don't know when or more importantly, how. This makes for a thrill ride of suspense and gore. Like it or not, "Friday The 13th" was a milestone. Every mass-produced slasher film made since can be traced back to this original blockbuster. JASON LIVES!

Summary: Injured, hungry and cornered
Review: Jason's story, before the recent X, has been broken up into three trilogies. Parts 2, 3 & 4 gave us the birthing of a supernatural serial killer, and make up the first of the three. Michael Myers may have laid down the rules for the genre, but Jason Voorhees became its icon. This chapter, as the middle of any trilogy should, had a nerve-drilling ending that left the hero in the most uncertain position. But Jason was more than a hero; he was an anti-hero. That meant he was a mystery, a wild card. Every time he got killed, throughout the series, he came back more invulnerable. In part 1, we were told about a death curse on Crystal Lake. Curses tend to get worse the more one tried to interfere with them. They adapted to each new threat. This chapter began only a few hours after part 2, which left Jason suffering from a machete wound. Needing to heal and hide from a massive manhunt, he found an apparently abandoned barn behind an old lake house. The location was familiar to him, though. One year before, he assaulted a young girl there. She too has returned to that place to heal. He acts like a trapdoor spider, hiding in the barn, killing one poor unsuspecting soul at a time. Before the end of the night, he will be stabbed, hanged, and the victim of a vicious axe to the head. This is not Jason at his most powerful. But every time he gets killed he comes back stronger. Still he is very creative, due to his injuries, and completely unstoppable.

Summary: Not the best in the series but still good.
Review: This one is not the best in the series but it is still good. Friends go to Camp Crystal Lake and Ignor the death cures again. They get killed off one by one by Jason. This one is remembered by because of the 3D effects and the hockey mask he gets.
Rated R for violence, a sex scene(but you only see her bare feet touching his bare feet as they do it), and some language. Any Jason fan should check it out!

Summary: "Now we're talking!"
Review: I;d give this movie 5 stars, but I really don't think it was necessary for Jason to show his face. But, he finally has the Hockey mask, and he has the machette this time, too! This is finally a REAL piece of Jason history!

Summary: Gotta love Jason
Review: No matter what anyone says about this or any other Jason flick, you just can't help but love them. First of all, to all of those who are looking for film and plot flaws, remember one thing, it's a MOVIE!!!! (fiction, entertainment purposes only) What I have found by watching the series, (and I have seen them all a least a dozen times each, and still continute to enjoy them every time), and having friends who are fans, is that Jason is almost the hero of the movies. Every time that Jason gets his hands on the snooping, senseless teens, you can't help but cheer and say to yourself.."Get'em Jason, put that machede to good use". On a night when you dont have much to do, invite some friends over, order a pizza, and put in a couple of Friday the 13th films and enjoy yourself

Summary: Slow, Predictable.
Review: Jason decides to leave his mother's head behind in search of new prey...
The only specific reason why anyone would go & watch "Friday The 13th Part 3" at the time was due to the 3D effects, all those different objects (Knives, Cats etc) popping in the viewer's direction was a scary thing.
As for the plot, we're back in Crystal Lake, again, & the same grotesque killings are taking place (more colorful ways), dumb people running in the woods and getting chopped into pieces... (need more) It's great to finally see Friday the 13th Part 3 in widescreen. The opening disco tune at the beginning with the 3D titles worth the price of buying this.
