The Many Lives of Jason Voorhees

Jason cold hearted was the coolest movie i seen on playstation DVD.the "Friday the 13th" franchise. It doesn't have any new nuggets of info even for the most casual viewer. the 30 minutes only made me long for the old Paramount Friday movies, as the Ne Line ones pretty much suck This gets plus points for having Joe Bob Briggs in it, but those points are evened out by having Drew McWeenie AKA: Moriarty (I dislike Ain't It Cool-related people). It's OK, but feels a little like a fluff piece then anything else. Feel free to skip it, you won't miss anything. Ironically it still is better then any of the Friday films that New Line has put out.

This documentary is featured on the JASON X DVD and although I didn't think that JASON X was nearly as good as the previous FRIDAY THE 13TH movies, I ended up buying the JASON X DVD anyway due to the fact that this is one of the best movie documentaries I have ever seen. This tells you nearly everything there is to know about the FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise. Of all the JASON X DVD special features, this is the best one.

This is indeed one of the greatest documentaries ever made. Not only does it make the JASON X DVD worth buying, it is just plain good. I would rent JASON X again just so I could see this documentary.

It is a bunch of people involved with making the original FRIDAY THE 13TH film talking about how they never expected it to be as big a success as it was. If you a big fan of horror films, and are interested in the inspirations and makings of some of them, then you will love this documentary.

THE MANY LIVES OF JASON VOORHEES gets 5/5.

An extra on the "Jason X" DVD, This is just an average documentary about the "Friday the 13th" franchise. It doesn't have any new nuggets of info even for the most casual viewer. the 30 minutes only made me long for the old Paramount Friday movies, as the Ne Line ones pretty much suck This gets plus points for having Joe Bob Briggs in it, but those points are evened out by having Drew McWeenie AKA: Moriarty (I dislike Ain't It Cool-related people). It's OK, but feels a little like a fluff piece then anything else. Feel free to skip it, you won't miss anything. Ironically it still is better then any of the Friday films that New Line has put out.

My Grade: C-

Finally, a decent doco about the Friday the 13th series! There's some good interview footage here with Sean S. Cunningham, Kane Hodder, Joe Bob Briggs etc and some perplexing footage of the guys from American Movie.

The only qualms I have are: no interview with Tom Savini, and no footage from any of the first eight Fridays. Paramount owns the rights to those movies (this disc was from New Line who only did the last two) and it's way past time for a special edition of at least the first Friday the 13th, with a decent doco on the series at bare minimum.

For the moment, though, this'll do.
