1.Friday the 13th 4 starring: Erich Anderson, Judie Aronson, Kimberly Beck, Corey Feldman, Barbara Howard directed by: Joseph Zito September 28, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.08
"Has the diabolical Jason finally met his match?" Uh, no. Corey Feldman, people; we are talking about Corey Feldman here. Of all the people on the planet, Corey Feldman is just about the last person capable of taking Jason out of the game. Truly, I had forgotten that Feldman was Jason's main event opponent in this "final chapter" of the series. Rightly or wrongly, that just takes something away from what is otherwise a darn good sequel's sequel's sequel - until the ending, anyway. Personally, I think this series jumped the shark when Feldman's character devised his unique plan for facing Jason face to face. In fact, I consider the shark re-jumped in the final frame of the film. It's still a strong entry in the series, the last one that actually tries to scare the audience, but the ending ... Read More

Authenticity, creativity, style, and a spine-chilling sensation are some of the most compelling characteristics that make for a truly impressive horror film. Unfortunately, "Friday the 13th" does not even remotely approach those characteristics. This movie is an absolute atrocity that suffers from a variety of unforgivable flaws. The opening scene takes place in the year 1958 at a summer campsite where a group of teenage camp counselors are enjoying a nice, quiet evening by the campfire. Two of the counselors are brutally murdered by an unknown character after attempting to slip away and make love. Following this incident, the movie fast forwards to the present. The current owner of the campsite, Steve Christy (Peter Brouwer), decides to revive the campsite for the summer with the assistance ... Read More

Maybe someone will write a dissertation on why some horror movie franchises eventually have that one movie that basically sticks a middle finger down the throats of its fans, betraying everything the whole series has been and should be about. Friday the 13th Part V - A New Beginning may well be the worst offender of the bunch. When a slasher film has to painstakingly explain itself at the end, you know it has some serious problems. It's bad enough that the very concept of the film reeks with utter stupidity, but these characters? It's like one of those rabid anti-horror fanatics wrote the script with the express purpose of turning horror fans off so much that the Friday the 13th series would quickly wither and die. Some people defend the film by saying it's still a maniac in a hockey mask ... Read More

4.Friday the 13th 8 starring: Jensen Daggett, Kane Hodder, Todd Caldecott, Tiffany Paulsen, Tim Mirkovich directed by: Rob Hedden September 28, 1994

Ok, the Friday the 13th series is probably my favorite movie series ever created. What's weird is that my favorite all time movie series also has within it's numbers one of my most hated movies ever. The movie i'm speaking of is of course none other than this turkey, Friday the 13th Part VIII Jason Takes Manhattan. More like Jason hangs out in Vancouver doing a poor job subbing for Manhattan for the last 20 or so minutes of the film. Whatever. This is the same series that said the 4th one was the final chapter so i'm not going to nit-pick on this. What I will gripe about are the bloodless deaths, terrible acting, inane dialogue, and complete lack of any sort of semblance of plot structure. Jason kills teenagers on a cruise headed for Manhattan. Jason chases the survivors in Manhattan. Jason is vanquished. Easy and ... Read More

5.Friday the 13th Part 7:New Blood starring: Diane Almeida, Jennifer Banko, Diana Barrows, Jeff Bennett, Susan Blu September 28, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
There's just no two ways about it - Kane Hodder was born to play Jason, and he is flat-out awesome in Friday the 13th Part VII - The New Blood. Thank goodness for that because the story itself is pieced together with spit and gum, the ending is a little north of over the top, and virtually every death scene was mercilessly cut to satisfy the infernal blowhards at the MPAA. I can understand the necessity for this cinematic butchery in terms of the theatrical release, as an X rating would have seriously cut into box office returns - I don't like it one bit, but I can understand it. What I don't understand is why an unrated version of this film in all of its gory unrated glory has never been released on DVD. What really sticks in my craw, though, is the fact that the VHS and DVD versions of the film have been cut even more than ... Read More

6.Friday the 13th 6 starring: Thom Mathews, Jennifer Cooke, David Kagen, Kerry Noonan, Renée Jones directed by: Tom McLoughlin September 28, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.39
After Friday the 13th, Part V - A New Beginning, this once-proud franchise was in dire need of an even newer beginning, and writer/director Tom McLoughlin really came through, basically, as far as I'm concerned, saving the series. Not only do we get the real Jason back, he's bigger and badder than ever. We also return to Camp Crystal Lake (now renamed Forest Green in a rather transparent attempt to excise the whole Jason "legend" from the area), where we not only have camp counselors but - for the first and only time in the series - actual campers. Naturally, there's no way to resurrect Jason without resorting to some kind of hokey miracle - after all, the dude's been rotting in his grave for several years now. Apart from that, though, the script is surprisingly good, and the kills are very good indeed (even though the best parts of many of them ... Read More

7.Friday the 13th, Part 3 starring: Terry Ballard, Richard Brooker, Gloria Charles, Rachel Howard, David Katims September 28, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
Some fans name this as their favorite Friday the 13th film - but I'm not one of them. Sure, Jason finally gets the hockey mask and really gets his slashing groove on, but there's no denying the fact that the silliness factor that marred the series as a whole began here. Dope-smoking hippies and the world's worst and dweebiest practical joker definitely lowered my expectations early on, and the whole deal with opening the movie with an extended flashback of the climactic moments of the last film had already gotten old (plus, in this case, those events really have very little to do with the story as it unfolds here), so I was in a three-star mood about halfway through the action. Jason really stepped up to the plate, though, delivering some pretty cool kills. Maybe, just maybe, I might have been tempted to go all the way up to five stars if this were the original ...

8.Friday the 13th 2 starring: Betsy Palmer, Amy Steel, John Furey, Adrienne King, Kirsten Baker directed by: Steve Miner September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.17
As far as I'm concerned, Friday the 13th Part II is the best film in the whole series. Moms did some nice work, but now it's time for the real killing machine to take over. Jason doesn't have the hockey mask yet, and he's not yet the seemingly inhuman, unstoppable killing force he will become, but he definitely earned slasher rookie of the year for his efforts in this film. He doesn't have the scary presence of a Michael Myers, but Jason is all about ruthless, efficient killing. The first few minutes of the film, featuring flashbacks to the climactic scenes of the original, are pretty annoying, but the rest of this film is a great, unsettling ride. Frankly, I never cared for Alice (Adrienne King), the sole survivor of the first film, so I had no problem with Jason clearing up the only loose end left by his dear, beheaded mother (speaking of unsettling, poor ...
