Summary: The best of them all!
Review: They say a sequell is never better then the original? Well, i gotta disagree there, If most peoples visual of Jason is the guy in the hockey mask? then remember that the mask wasnt introduced till part 3! to mention he wasnt even in part 1!well, IMO this is the best of them all! Tommy Jarvis is a kid whos just gotten out of a mental home because he was a survivor to one of Jasons (the guy in the hockey mask) slaughterings and traumatised him! So he goes nuts and wants to cremeate Jasons body in the cemetery to be sure he's dead and stop giving him nightmares! Unfortunalty Tommy goes a little skitso and starts stabbing Jasons dead body with a long metal rod! probably not the best thing to do in a lightning storm? because as he goes to burn him.... the rod is struck by lightning and Jasons back! bigger and more powerfull then ever!!!!! What happens from there on youll have to see for youself? Alice Cooper even provides a couple of great songs for the movie! to bad the video clip to "he's Back (the Man behind the mask) isnt included with the DVD :( IT would be nice if Paramount would present these movies with some bonus features, wether Paramount like or dislike these films, they should pay more respect to 8 movies that brought them alot of money!

Summary: Jason lives.
Review: I really liked this film. I thought was cool how Jason came back to life. Tommy Javirs( Jasons arch ememy) goes to Jason's grave to make sure he is really dead. Tommy impales Jason's corspe with a pole and right when he is about to poor gasoline on Jason and light him on fire, lighting hits the pole and brings him back to life. Now Jason is going back to Camp Crystal lake which has been renamed Camp Forest Green. And Tommy is trying to kill Jason again. This was a very cool film. I would recomend it to fans of Jason and Michael Myers.

Summary: For the Love of "Jason"
Review: "So, what were you going to be when you grew up?", asks one young camper to another, just before Jason scares the bejesus out of both of them, in "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives". The sixth installment to the "Friday " series is still one of the best. Tommy still isn't convinced that Jason is dead so, in the middle of a lightning storm & with the help of his friend, Allen Hawes (Horseshack, from "Welcome Back Kotter"!), he decides to dig up Jason's grave & cremate him. But, when Tommy pierces Jason's corpse with an iron fence post, causing lightning to strike (twice!), old hockeypuck rises up to kill again. Crystal Lake changes its name to Camp Forrest Green but, Jason knows there is no place like home and heads there killing anything in his path. Its up to Tommy to take him down. For me, there wasn't any scare factor or suspense to this film (if you've sat thru the first five "Friday"'s, your senses to this type of violence are dulled and immune by now). What makes the film tick, much like "Freddy vs. Jason", is the amount of humor tossed in (hottie Renee Jones, thinking its a another camp counselor playing a prank on her, pours soda onto Jason's face as he hides underneath a windowsill waiting to strike. When I heard Jason's muffled reaction, I couldn't stop laughing!). The cast of this installment went on to bigger and better things. The beautiful actress, Renee Jones, who played Sissy, joined the cast of the popular daytime drama "Days of our Lives", in February of 1993, as Dr. Lexie Carver (a surreal twist is in the current storyline to "Days" there is a serial killer loose in the town of Salem, complete with dark robes, a hunting knife, and... a hockey mask). Hottie, Jennifer Cooke, who played Megan in "Jason Lives", started the popular "Celestial Seasonings" tea company with her husband and in 1995 wrote her own book "Cooking with Tea". Thom Mathews, who played Tommy, has earned a black belt in martial arts, owns his own construction company, and continues to be a good friend of George Clooney. Actor Tony Goldwyn, who had a brief role as Darren, would go on and co-star in the blockbuster "Ghost" and also star in "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise, "The 6th Day", "The Pelican Brief", and be the voice of Tarzan in the Walt Disney animated film of the same name .

Summary: JASON RETURNS
Review: Yep, the BIG film where good ol wormy head Jason returns. This film is good for many reasons. It has a good "supernatural" twist now in this film, which is a start of the "supernatural" trend in slashers. Jason comes back with a vengeance in this one, It sure would be nice to have a company get a hold of these and release them "uncut" as these were all cut due to the MPAA. New Line is rumored to have bought the rights and seeks to release them all uncut in a boxed set.....keep those fingers crossed!

Summary: Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
Review: This impressive entry in the popular horror series brings back the relentless killer Jason Voorhees, this time as a supernatural zombie. Tommy Jarvis, now played by Thom Matthews, accidentally resurrects Jason when he impales the killer's corpse with a metal pole during a lightning-storm. Numerous murders follow, beginning with Tommy's friend (Ron Palillo) having his heart torn out of his chest by the zombie killer. Implicated in the crimes by a mean-spirited sheriff (David Kagen), Tommy is freed from jail by the sheriff's daughter, spunky Megan (Jennifer Cooke). The cast converges on Camp Crystal Lake, which has been renamed "Camp Forest Green" by superstitious locals, in time for Tommy to send Jason back to the bottom of the lake, if only temporarily. Harry Manfredini's score is among his best, and the makeup by Martin Becker, Gabe Bartalos, R. Chris Biggs and others is outstanding. Cooke makes an appealing heroine as Megan, although Mathews' Tommy has lost the interesting mental disturbances of previous entries and becomes just another bland hero. Tom McLoughlin's direction is effective, and the film has a memorably funny supporting turn by Bob Larkin as a grumpy drunken caretaker. Alice Cooper sings the title song, "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)". Although no classic, this is a solid horror film with a witty script and engaging characters.

Summary: Trash as always..... One of the best (or "less worse")
Review: Part VI is the best (or the less mean) Friday The 13th. Somehow, the director managed to give some "honesty" to the movie, some good photography at least, I don't know to explain. It's a short movie (86 minutes) and Jason kills exactly 18 people in this one... There are also tha fmaous absurds of this series. Talk about the ending, for example. Yes, Tommy JArvis manages to "drown" Jason in Crystal Lake. But in the end, when we get the usual hint that Jason is not dead, we see him underwater in a clear day, trapped by the chains Tommy put around him. Guess what? Is it possible that after such a maniac had killed almost one and a half people (including three policeme) tha authorities would not have digged the murderer body out of water?! Of course this is not possible! But no, Jason is left underwater, undisturbed, nobody apparently cares!! Also funny is the fact that the girl's father had died the most brutal dead in the hands of Jason, only minutes ago, and all the girl (Megan) cares about is to support and comfort young Tommy after he finally killed Jason... All in all, a good terro flick, if you can still consider Jason a terror flick and not a commedy.

Summary: Better than average for the genre'.
Review: The first thing you have to do when watching a "Friday the 13th" film is to jettison all expectations of artistic integrity or profound social commentary. This is the series, after all, that defined mindless shock-value entertainment for the better part of twenty years.
"Jason Lives" at least attempts to give fans some genuine scares and some old school action as it's repetitive storyline unfolds. Yes, I said repetitive. Let's not kid ourselves, people-whether he's sporting a burlap sack ala' the Elephant man or terrorizing a collection of 23rd century hormonally driven twentysomethings, each and every one of Jason's horror outings have the exact same plot. A group of six to twelve people show up. Jason also shows up. Said people are systematically slaughtered. Jason does the slaughtering. One person, usually female, ends up putting a stop to the carnage by dispatching the hockey masked zombie ("for now..."). The difference this time is that "Jason Lives" - with it's dark foreboding forests, thick with fog and shadows - looks and feels like a classic monster movie. There is no attempt whatsoever to mask the identity of the killer here ( a plot device that was wearying when they used it as late in the series as part five...why bother with shots of the killer that avoid showing his face? Like we don't know its Jason?). Director Tom Mcloughlin knows that we know who the villian is and what he's going to do to these people, so he simply opens the film with a bravura ressurection sequence ( set in a masterfully designed cemetary ) and never lets up. Along the way there are a few humorous nods (the best being an opening sequence that parodies the famous "gun barrel" walk that opens every James Bond film), as well as some of the better visual effects that have graced this series (the RV sequence is a doozy). Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and in terms of what the fans of these films expect, this one has a lot of style and is better than average. Besides, you've got to love any movie that treats us to the sight of "Horseshack" from "Welcome Back Kotter" having his heart torn out. For that alone, the filmmakers deserve our appreciation.

Summary: One Of The Best!
Review: Not only is this one of the greatest Friday The 13th movies, it's one of the greatest horror movies ever made. First and foremost, the opening scene is one of the greatest moments in the history of horror, as Tommy Jarvis and his friend Horace (played by Ron Palilo from "Welcome Back Kotter") drive to the graveyard. Tommy has some unfinished business to settle with the not-so-dead Jason Voorhies. As you might've predicted, their plan backfires and Jason comes back to life, brutally murdering Horace and then setting his sights on Tommy (they were arch rivals at this point). Tommy flees the graveyard as quickly as he can and tries to warn the rest of the town that Jason has returned. But of course, nobody believes him, particularly the sheriff and his deputy at the local police station.
Soon, the sheriff's daughter, Megan (what a fox), gets involved with Tommy, much to the chagrin of her father. Jason eventually kills everyone except Tommy and Megan, and the ending is fantastic. Great, great film! Some vicious murder scenes in this one!

Summary: not good
Review: the only good thing about this movie was that it kept the series alive long enough that we could see jason goes to hell and jason X. apparently what happens here is Tommy Jarvis managed to kill Jason in the 5th movie. Being the genius that he is he decideds to drive out to the cemetary where he is burried (i would have burned him but that closes the door for more movies)and digs him up. good idea. "hey i killed a psycho that cannot be killed somehow. i had a bad dream. lets drive out into the country and dig him up so i will not have another." said Tommy Jarvis. "ok ill bring the gasoline and matches" Tommy's dumb friend. ok so they dig him up and discover that he is dead. wow what a relief. they should go but that doesnt make for much of a movie so they drench him in gasoline. how fun. Tommy then pulls a metal bar off the cemetary fence and, after having a 40 second staring contest with Jason's corpse, jams it into Jason's chest. Just then lightning strikes the pole sticking out of his chest and brings him back to life. makes perfect sence. so hes back. he kills Tommy's friend and Tommy escapes. Jason then kills a couple who is lost and goes back to camp crystal lake which has had its name changed. there are people there. how strange. apparently its a good idea to go to a camp where everyone who has visited it since the first movie has been killed, only this time we have to bring a bus load of kids. pure genius. so jason finds a machete again kills the counselers and winds up in the lake hanging in the water from a chain and his neck was cut by the motor and didnt die. oh and somewhere in there the police think that Tommy did it.
