Unmasked Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Part 3

Reader Submitted Review

I remember before I watched Friday The 13th part 3 the only feedback I salvaged of it was my friends constant claims that it was crap, that it was an insult to the series and that it simply brought a kitsch camp stereotypical Halloween Eve cookie cutter to the series. I purchased the DVD, and found my friend to either be a liar or completely confused. It had creative kills, suspense in barrel loads and another terrifying chair jumper ending.

The film starts where Jason left off in Friday the 13th Part 2 as he removes the machete from his arm and escapes the cabin. Hours later, Jason gives a dysfunctional couple the spooks before giving them a taste of cold, blood soaked AXE!!!

The kills come thick, fast and gory as Jason clears himself a macabre gangway of decapitations, impalings, skull crushings and eye shootings, and Jason finds his trademark, the hockey mask.

After being bludgeoned, a new little biker friend wakes up and decides to foolishly attempt take Jason down - he is dispatched gorily. A lynching attempt on Jason follows which still can't put an end to him. A tense battle ensues that ends with Jason's face meeting an axe and one psyched up almost-victim. The cops drag her way and leave us to ponder and chat over the awesomeness of it all.

I can, however, see at least some part of the contempt some people may hold for Friday the 13th part 3. It could be a disappointment for those who expected more in the vein of 1 and 2, but I personally think number 3 flung a refreshing new face on the series.

Friday the 13th part 3 isn't just one of those sequels necessary to complete the set films. Friday the 13th part 3 is the beginning of Jason's birth into invincibility and superstardom. I stress to you that you should watch it, contrary to my friends views.

Friday The 13th part 3 is a gore filled monument to slashers, a festival of kills and a stab or hack above the rest, contrary to many opinions.

I mean come on, at least its not Jason Takes Manhattan.
