The comedy feels awkward and silly, and the whole Jason copycat killer is an incredibly weak reveal. Plus, a stupid baffling ending to cap things off really sours the already poorly executed film. Infamous unstoppable killing machine Jason Voorhees is cryogenically frozen after being detained by the military. Centuries go by with him frozen in place, before a group of spacefarers pick him up and bring him on board their ship. Another baffling entry that takes Jason into space, however at least this one has a load of fun along the way.
Sure it takes things in a stupid direction, writes itself into a corner, and comes out of nowhere with its concept. The sets and the effects both feel more dated than even the prior films, and the acting is a bit dodgy in quite a few places. After being freed from where he lays chained at the bottom of Crystal Lake, Jason hitches a ride on a boat headed for Manhattan.
This is the first Friday film to get right into the berserker phase, Jason is let free minutes into the film and immediately starts his killing spree.
Despite the fun of this film, it really falls short in most aspects. Certainly a massive cut above the entries it beats out on this list, but also a rift below the entries it loses out to. Years after Pamela Voorhees went on a rampage and killed a host of counselors at Camp Crystal Lake before being decapitated herself, a group of co-eds takes a trip through the area. Fast forward a bit more and we have the brother of one of the deceased back in the area searching for his sister, and an extra group of partiers for Jason to mow down.
The adaptation takes the first three films and pulls them all in for one remake. The traps, tunnels, and general intelligence of his murder spree is actually a fairly interesting spin on the character. Sure he had his moments all through the original run of films, but seeing it centered in on is interesting.
The soundtrack feels weak without Harry Manfredini at the helm, and the direction tries to fit in with the horror films of the late s and ends up coming up a bit lackluster. On the positive side, Derek Mears is an incredible Jason and brings a real menacing aura to the role.
Recovering from his wounds suffered in the finale of Part 2 , Jason hunkers down in a cabin by Crystal Lake.
Soon enough a group of co-eds arrives for a vacation, and Jason gets right back into his murderous job. Ultimately the film probably suffered a bit from it, with actors stating there was more focus on finding cool things for them to do with the 3D rather than actually putting forward great performances. Steve Miner is the only director to take the helm more than once, and it does show with Part 2 and Part III feeling like a package together.
It was planned to be the ending of Jason, and the end of the horrors of Crystal Lake as well, so even with a bit of an extra scare coming at the end things wrapped up nicely enough. This is also the final time the antagonist in the series appears human, with Jason limping after being stabbed and appearing more desperate in some of his attempts. One of the most important films in the slasher genre, and the real birthplace of the Jason we all know now. After being chained to the bottom of crystal lake by Tommy Jarvis at the end of Part VI , Jason ends up just chilling underwater for a while.
From the outside looking in this is a strange entry, what with psychic powers being pitted against the undead killer Jason. But it does work fairly well, the series is already moved firmly away from realism and embraced the supernatural.
There were a LOT of cuts made to appease the ratings board, so unfortunately some of the violent sides of things feels muted, but we still do get one of the most iconic kills with the sleeping bag scene. The Final Chapter really does feel like it caps off the original Friday series. A great creativity is brought back into the series here. After Pamela Voorhees is beheaded by Alice after the chaos of the first film, Camp Crystal Lake is officially shut down.
A neighboring camp however is being set up, and the shores of Crystal Lake are still unsafe for the unwitting counselors beginning to gather. Part 2 brings us our first real look at Jason, outside of memory and a dream sequence. Part 2 is still grounded in the real, not yet more a vehicle for kill montages but still finding a story to tell.
Betsy Palmer the actress who played Pamela Voorhees , Tom Savini makeup and gore mastermind , and Sean S, Cunningham the director of the first film were all baffled as to why the decision to have Jason be alive all these years was made.

Interestingly, the producers brought three characters from the original movie back. You read that right! One of the camp counselors, Alice, survived at the end of the first film. Remember the character introduced in Part 2? Yes, Ginny Field is back. However, in this movie, the survivor is trying to move on sanely with her life. Although Ginny has returned to college, she learns defense while planning her revenge moves on Jason.
So instead, we start at the exact point we left off with Jason, seeking revenge unmasked. In this movie, Jason Voorhees terrorizes and stalks a group of friends who stay in a cabin inside the woods.
It ends just the same way the first film ended. But hold on, could this have been their attempt at a full circle? This film was released in and was titled The Final Chapter, but was it the final movie? Well, no. Obviously, by now, the fans of the franchise have discovered that Jason is never truly dead. In an effort to kill Jason Voorhees off forever, the movie producer Frank Mancuso Jnr brings Jason back to crystal lake for a good final fight.
Good things never really come to an end, do they? Well, a brand new Friday The 13th film hit the cinemas and movie houses just a year later. Its title, A New Beginning, was supposed to reinvent the franchise. This very one happens five years after Jason was macheted to his early death.
The main character of this film Tommy has remained haunted since the night of that incident and is struggling to move on with his life. We later in this movie find out that the killer that has been tormenting everyone is an imposter. This means just one thing! But, unfortunately, for most of it, it was a lackluster film.
Tommy comes back but is not doing very fine. This film was released exactly a year after the previous film. In this movie, we watch Tommy return home with a friend of his, but he is dealing with horrible dreams and intense hallucinations, all due to the trauma brought upon him by Jason over the years.
If you did not know it already, then this movie is here to prove it to you. Jason will not and cannot die.
