video review : Friday The 13th : A New Beginning

Another sequel, less than a year later, to what was supposed to be The Final Chapter is conceptually ridiculous. The actual movie; this is part five of what has become the Friday The 13th series; is even worse. It reverts to the campiness of Part 3; corny comedy and annoying characterization; but without a thrilling ending to balance it out.

video review : Friday The 13th : The Final Chapter

This is the Final Chapter of Friday The 13th and it’s just as well. The series has become formulaic and predictable. It’s essentially the same story on repeat. The best parts, aside from babes occasionally showing their tits and ass; somewhat of a signature; are still the kills. At one point, Jason throws a girl from a second-story window onto the roof of a station wagon; a slow-motion murder that’s almost beautiful in its mercilessness.

The prologue; a five-minute scene from Part 2; is even tackier and more superfluous than the previous one. The whole movie, with its campy characterization and dialogue, is sort of stupid. That is until the beginning of the end when Jason, now sporting a hockey mask, goes into full kill mode. Part 3 does come close to redeeming itself in that final act, but it’s easily the worst entry in the trilogy.

video review : Friday The 13th : Part 2

The prologue, which recaps Part 1, is tacky and superfluous, but it gets better from there. This Friday The 13th is slightly superior, in fact, and the girls at Camp Crystal Lake’s Counselor Training Center show enough ass and tits to keep us perverts delighted. It’s five years later, according to the story, and “Jason’s a legend.”

He’s also a bit of a goofball; a fact that doesn’t reveal itself until near the end when the deformed killer goes after what becomes the protagonist, gets toppled by an opening car door and falls off a chair. Ginny is just as inept in her escapes; tropes a slasher flick like this needs to build suspense and keep the plot moving forward.
