At it's best, Jason X suggests a bit of exuberant fan-fiction - Jason Goes to Space. The film's central conceit, involving Jason being frozen for decades and then "accidentally" thawed out in the future while being transported to Earth 2, is preposterous to say the least. And yet, director Jim Isaac, known more for his special effects work in Greml...
This 2009 reboot looks better, from top to bottom, than almost every other film on this list, with the possible exceptions of Part III and The Final Chapter. Unfortunately, the script for this reboot is fucking idiotic, and mind you I'm taking into consideration how silly the other scripts are. The script doesn't play with the mythology at all, or ...
In The Final Chapter, we're introduced to the young Tommy Jarvis, who becomes the hero of the series for three installments, the second of which being this bizarre, outlandishly harebrained reconfiguration, which sets Jason's fatal shenanigans in a home for troubled teenagers on Crystal Lake. The tone here is actually pretty spot-on, straddling hor...
This is the one that stings. The premise is impossibly promising, letting the world's foremost expert on machete-wielding and general brutality loose on The City That Never Sleeps. The possibilities are frankly endless, and rather than choose one, the makers of Jason Takes Manhattanspend most of the runtime on the voyage-by-sea to Manhattan, with J...
The New Blood came out in the time of Scanners, which may explain why anybody (anybody!) felt the need to match Jason up against a young telepath. In this case, the telepath also happens to be a curious and damaged blonde, who accidentally brings Jason back from the dead when she begins to remember how she killed her father with her powers on the v...
For what would be the last of the original Friday the 13th films, paving the path for Freddy vs. Jason and the aforementioned 2009 reboot, the creators of the series burdened its monster with a borderline impressive amount of batshit backstory, none of which matches up with the mild lunacy of the rest of the series. The influence of Cronenberg flou...
There may be no line as repugnant and cringe-worthy in the entire range of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street entries than "How sweet, dark meat." Such inarguable doozies must be suffered in this hugely anticipated match-up between a brutish, mentally challenged mass murderer and the charred, homicidal pedophile who can slaughter you in yo...
Or, A Portrait of The Immortal Blood-Thirsty Psychotic in His Youth. Here's where we first meet Jason, sporting overalls and cloth sack with an eyehole, taking over the lakeside killer mantle from his mother. The film begins with Voorhees beheading the woman who decapitates his mother, and there's a scrappy, no-budget energy to this primordial tale...
The third chapter of the Jason Voorhees saga was where the direction got a bit more audacious, thanks in no small part to the film being released in 3D, which had seen a resurgence at the time. Even without the glasses, however, Part III benefits from the “Hey! Look at me, ma!”-brand of shooting, adding a more galvanic visual pace and rhythm to the...
Jason Lives! is the last notableFriday the 13th movie, and arguably the most purely entertaining entry in the whole series. Here, Jason didn't just stand in as the wrecking force brought on by the tinny, rotten Catholic righteousness of the Reagan era, which had been the basic machinery of the franchise up until the fifth iteration. There's a wider...
