In an attempt to draw the audiences back to the theater for one more trip down memory lane, studios gave us a Friday the 13th remake. Did we need this? Nope. Was this good? Not really. Did they alter the original idea behind the character? Yup. At no point in the previous movies did Jason … More Friday the 13th (2009)
In one of the most epic cross over stories of all-time, the opportunity was here to create a masterpiece and they dropped the ball. I believe I watched this movie in the theater and left disappointed, probably like the majority of people. This story really split the audiences down the middle, and I don’t mean … More Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
I vaguely remember watching Jason X when it came out some 17 years ago. What I do recall was this movie had to be the dumbest idea ever (even after part nine when Jason went to hell). Serial killers don’t belong in space, let alone a future where people are living in space stations. I … More Jason X (2001)
Four long years went by and the producers of the Friday the 13th series must have spent that whole time panicking. Their famous slasher had disappeared, killed off in the sewers of New York City. In an attempt to bring him back from dead again, only to kill him for good, the writers came up … More Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Camp Crystal Lake is in upstate New York. I tell you this in case you’ve watched seven movies of a killer in the woods and don’t know which woods exactly. When Jason wakes from the dead again, he’s towed by a cruise boat down to New York City. Electricity is like an AED for this … More Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
At this point, seven movies in, they were really scratching the bottom of the barrel here to find new, creative, and believable ways to bring Jason back to life. I wouldn’t have expected someone with telekinetic powers to be the branch of life this time. I think by the end of the 1980’s, people’s taste … More Friday the 13th Part VII (1987)
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but for some reason the sixth installment of this epic horror franchise is my favorite. By now everyone knows Jason dies all the time, but never stays dead. Of course some idiots try a resurrection and before you know it lightning strikes and he’s on the killer … More Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)
Jason Voorhees was dead (again). If you have made it this far into the franchise you now know that Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman) is the kid who took down a monster. Like anyone who suffers through a traumatic experience, they are hauled off into a care facility where they can get better. Jason finally leaves … More Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
The Final Chapter should have really been the final chapter of the Friday the 13th franchise. Jason Voorhees was dead and brought back to life. Instead of wandering off into the woods and letting the past go, this guy, who is disfigured beyond recognition, is back again to kill innocent teens. The story until this … More Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1983)
The year was 1982 and a horror franchise with a killer who murders with a machete tried to scare audiences in 3D. It was clear to me many decades later, this movie was probably terrible in 3D. Jason Voorhees didn’t need special treatment but got it anyways. After surviving a brutal attack, that would have … More Friday the 13th Part III (1982)
