Summary: The best of the lot
Review: With its lovely leading lady, menacing stalker, high production values and a variety of creative deaths, FTTIII takes my vote as the best of the series. This video is of course no match to the theatrical version, which featured nifty 3-D effects for all of the death sequences, including a moment when a spear shot from Jason's speargun shoots out of the screen and into the audience. Dana Kimmel is the best screamer in Friday history. Her dorky boyfriend Brian gets his skull crushed. And of course, the debut of Jason's signiture hockey mask! The soundtrack for the opening credits is groovy, too. A close second is FTTII, which unfortunately was heavily cut by the MPAAA.

Summary: A USELESS SEQUEL TO A ONE STAR FILM
Review: Why anyboby would continue to torture us with this blood and guts, no plot crap is beyond me. I mean there's no guessing as to who the killer is a first-grader could figure it out. Plus the teenagers aren't characters you'd find interesting anyway so you don't even care that they are killed anyway. I wish I could give this film no stars, it richly desrves it!!!.

Summary: My Favorite
Review: Strangely.. I found this sequel to be my personal favorite out of all nine Friday films. Dana Kimmell (of "Texas" and "Prom Night") does a fantastic job as Chris, the main character. I wonder what ever happened to her. Anyway.. the movie has some of the most hilarious characters, you'll ever see in a Friday flick. Two find sex the most entertaining activity around, two others smoke pot continuously, the heroine tries to repair a relationship with her dumb-as-a-brick boyfriend and the fat, afro-wearing outcast tries desperately to get to second base with his blind date. In the process, they are harassed by a biker gang and are continually frightened by the cruel practical jokes of the fat guy. So.. as you can see there's plenty of kids around to make up for a suitable body count. Of course the storyline is pretty lame.. Having escaped in the last episode, Jason is back to continue his murderous rampage across Crystal Lake . This is also the first movie where Jason dons his "infamous" hockey mask. Jason takes it from the fat guy, after he had just terrfied his date with it. So.. this movie is quite average. No real scares until the end chase scene, despite a spine-tingling but hilarious introduction involving an old couple. I recommend this movie to all horror fans out there. Whilst the acting from the supporting cast could've been improved.. it's funny to see them try. Co-starring Jeffrey Rogers, Paul Kratka and newsreader Tracie Savage.

Summary: The Best of 'em all FILMED IN 3D!
Review: this is where the hockey mask comes into play this does not have to much gore in it, because the actress who played the main charecter made the director change it because she belivies that you don't need alot of violence to make a good movie, suprisingly she was in Prom Night =) END

Summary: The Typical Horror Movie on the 80's
Review: Like many other films of its time, "Friday the 13th Part 3" offers nothing but (...), drugs, and tons of blood. And just to think, that this is one of the better films in the series. First of all, this movie is okay in its sense to add a little suspense into the movie, but the act gets old quick when Jason (Richard Brooker) is everywhere, yet he rarely pops out to kill someone. It's just like a movie from the "Halloween" series, just much, much cheesier and duller. The acting, unlike the first two installments, is a bad mix. I could never get over the casting either. In this movie, there is a group of six (...)driven college aged students who are staying at a cabin on the lake in the woods. Then there are these two people who to be about 35 years old who consistantly smoke weed and talk like hippies (...). To add more deaths, the writers decided to throw in dead meat, which turned out to be suprisingly the most interesting characters of the whole movie. They were three bikers, with Gloria Fox as my favorite playing the tough-girl Fox. Despite its many flaws, the movie does connect the thrid installment and the second installment very well, (...) does an excellent job creating a spooky atmosphere, even despite his bad actors. Audiances will notice objects always flying in their direction, which is becuase the film was originally shown in 3D (and hopefully they will discover a way to bring that 3D to DVD someday). But even with the consistant flying objects, the film makes me think the most about the 80's, with its funky opening theme and rad clothing, plus of course Jason was a phenominon back then. (...)

Summary: Alright, I guess...(** 1/2)
Review: After watching the 3rd installment in the "Friday the 13th" series, after the first 2, my decided opinion was that the series isn't all it's cranked up to be. And after watching all the others, my opinion is still the same. "Friday the 13th Part 3", differs from the last two, becuase it's not about a group of counsleours preparing a summer-camp. This time, the story revolves around a group of kids, somewhere in thier young 20's, that are staying in a couple cabins, just for a good time. And Jason kills all of them, except a level-headed and responsible girl. The girl, Chris, actually has a past with Jason. She was sitting in the woods one night when she was little, and saw a very, very ugly man, who scared her. And it was Jason,which she confirms when his mask comes off later in the movie. Another interesting thing about Chris is that she goes crazy in the end after her hellish expierence (very Sally Hardesty); which makes me wonder why this never happend to any other "last girl" in the series. Anyway, part 3 is rather tired, and very quick. It somehow seems bored with itself, and goes by in a second. Chris is kind of boring as the survivor. And the whole 3-D gimmick, which was lame to begin with, doesn't show up too well on VHS's. I was expecting this one to be good, because of the reviews, and the neat box-art. But, as aforementioned, I was wondering what all the fuss was about after seeing it. And this goes for the entire series. I DO think part 3 is a slight improvement over part 2, however, and I like the VERY cheesy, disco theme-song.

Summary: Even My Mother Enjoyed It!
Review: This is the first movie in the "Friday" series I have seen. I rented this only a few hours ago tonight, watched it with my folks and had the time of my life! I know this would NEVER be able to pass as a movie that the WHOLE FAMILY would want to watch, after my folks finished watching "Phone Booth," my mother wanted to see what "Friday the 13th (prt. 3) had to offer. I warned her it was a slasher movie and that a lot of the death scenes are very graphic (in one scene, Jason Voorhees (the killer) shoots a girl in the eye with a spear gun. And in another, Jason crushes a guy's skull, which pops one of the guy's eyes out), but she insisted! Whyever she was willing to watch people die for enterainment is beyond me!

I can remember this one time when I tried to get her watch Tobe Hooper's ever-lasting classic, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," but she was too disturbed by the scene where Leather-Face impales Pam on a meat hook (a scene which is nowhere near as graphic as the death scenes shown in here!). Also, just last Halloween, I suggested we rent a couple of horror films like "Halloween" and "A Nightmare On Elm Street," but she declined the offer immediatly after I told her they were slasher films!

Even with all this, everyone I watched it with seemed to really enjoy watching it. We laughed and screamed at the same time! It was even better than "Leather-Face: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3"! It was also fun to torcher my mother with the grizzly death scenes (she actually seemed enjoy it)! The only reason I took off one star is because the ending is a little bit hollow, but that only left a reason to make ANOTHER "Friday" sequel, which I noticed EIGHT more sequels followed after this one (if you include Freddy VS Jason)!

Summary: better than part 2, but still.....
Review: "friday the 13th part 3" was a better movie than part 2 was, but that still doesn't say much at all. this film will be always remembered as the first film in which jason gets his infamous hockey mask, his trademark. but that's about all this film has that's worth remembering. as a die hard fan of the series (i own them all) i honestly can say that i can watch this one without complaining about how awful the acting was, or the script, or the direction, or anything for that matter. friday 3 was a decent enough of an entry in the fact that it makes the second one look like complete garbage (which it was) but it still doesn't reach the genious of the original. by now we all know that jason is the killer and the only suspense (if any) that's left is the question of who will get it next and how will it be given to them? and one can't help but wonder what the eventual climax will bring. Jason's death (if that's even possible)? not in this one (or any other for that matter), no this one has jason getting hanged and his neck supposedly breaking and even getting a machete to the head, but that's still not enough to do it. friday 3 should've been part 2 and part 2 should've simply been thrown away. all friday 3 is is part 2 except jason has the mask...that's about it. part 4 is much better.
