    It?s poorly acted, has a rubbish story and is very confusing towards the end. It?s also pretty brilliant. It does suffer when watching it in 2D though as it was meant to be watched in 3D. It was 1982 and certain clichés can be forgiven due to its funny death scenes and hilarious ...( read more)80's disco theme tune! A classic but by no means a great film! Definitely in , 'So bad its good' territory and possibly my favorite Friday 13th!

    Friday the 13th Part 3 is yet another installment in the teen slasher franchise that turned the name Jason into a franchise like McDonalds. This time you get two things out of it: a hockey mask and 3-D.

    The plot is the same as the others: a group of teens go into the woods for t...( read more)he weekend only to get knocked off one by one by the mysterious mongoloid of New Jersey. What's funny about Part 3 is that it knows what it is and goes with it. Characters are introduced just to be led to slaughter and the name of the killer (Jason) is only mentioned during the flashback sequence in the beginning. It's a gimmick movie.

    Friday the 13th Part 3 does hold a special place for me as it was my first Friday film and probably gets weighted a little heavier than the others. It contains poor acting and a recycled plot but it's still a good horror flick.

    Same again. This time Jason further develops by getting his hockey mask and showing signs of super human strength. It is also in 3-D but it soon gets tiring with EVERYTHING being shoved towards the camera. Everybody points while talking and every weapon has to belong and thin. It...( read more) only feels like a Friday the 13th film when it copies the previous efforts. A Kevin Bacon and Ending homage. Perhaps it's because it isn't set on Friday the 13th (it starts off a day after the last one). Or maybe it's because nothing as far as Jason's myth or that of his mother is mentioned or expanded upon, other than he had a struggle with a girl 2 years ago. OOOOH Creepy. Pointless killings of pointless people and a hilarious and literally "eye popping" special effect make it a bit of fun.

    The better one of the first three but the 3D does ruin it. The acting is worthless and once agian its the same esact thing!

    sequel to "friday the 13th" for the third series that jason voorhees who arrived from part 2 (1981) and also he return to third sequel as the slashers. first time jason voorhees with an hockey mask. i do really like this one and one of the best as killing moment each scene. chara...( read more)cter shelley is little bit of funny and some of prank on them. very gross and enjoy with an eye-pop out victim. another character chuck is reminded me of tommy chong from any "cheech & chong" movie. i do enjoying ending scene with chris vs. with the jason voorhees.
