Venerdì 13: parte VI - Jason vive

After the utter bust that was New Beginning the franchise finds its feet again and brings Jason Voorhees back from the dead starting a new chapter in his iconic rise to stardom.

Tommy Jarvis returns this time played by Thom Mathews (Who I can't take seriously after Return Of The Living Dead 1 & 2). Sadly it in no way explains his actions at the end of the last film, you'd think that'd be the first thing they'd address.

In a weird opening sequence Jason is resurrected and you guessed it, goes on a killing spree. Returning to Camp Crystal Lake Tommy seeks to end Jason once and for all! A blend of the early movies and the messy last chapter this is certainly a return to form even if it is nothing special.

With a dodgy opening sequence and daft closing scene the film is badly flawed but gets by with it's vintage Jason style killing action.

The Good:

Some interesting kills

Undead Jason > Living Jason

The Bad:

Weirdly comedic in places

Doesn't explain what happened since the last film

Ridiculous opening

Not that well made in places

All this recasting for the lead is very damaging

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The groundskeeper is a farthead
