    I like the way the makers didn't really take this one too seriously but I did get a little bored towards the end. I think by this point too much time has been spent at crystal lake, every slasher sequel should have a different location, that's all that differs from the original i...( read more)n most cases!

    Jason returns from the mutilated, rotting dead in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. There's a little more plot in this one, kids. Tommy (Thom Mathews) wants to make sure Jason's really buried in his grave and digs him up for the corpse to get struck by lightning, resurrecting...( read more) him from the dead and another killing rampage.

    Tom McLoughlin delivers a Friday that doesn't take itself to serious, making it a better film and creating the Frankenstein of our times. The acting still is subpar, but we're used to that by now. It's a fearful little jaunt to Crystal Lake.

    A pretty fun addition to the franchise. First of all bringing back Jason is a major bonus and it seems as though McLoughlin has realised that slashers are more fun than frightening. So we get little comedic gems such as a James Bond opening (gun barrel style) and even a characte...( read more)r breaking the 4th wall. Funny and gory it truly resurrects the series along with its main character. Not ground breaking, but certainly one of the best in the series.

    One of my favourites! I'd say if you only got to watch one Friday the 13th, you should watch this one. It's got the gore, the cheese, and Jason in all his glory.

    The last in the Tommy trilogy, has Jarvis, who is apparently still at a halfway home (I'm assuming his stay was extended after his "freak out" at the end of part V), needs some closure and decides to cremate Jason's body. Things go wrong, Jason comes back and is quite pissed and ...( read more)commences to reaquire his old stomping grounds now called Forest Green. McLoughlin turns the series around briefly with this humorous, tongue-in-cheek sequel that lightly pokes fun at both the series and slashers overall.

    "friday the 13th" is still continues the sequel again for the sixth series. continues jason return to the slasher again. this time tommy jarvis in another cast of thom mathews(remember him of the film in 1985 "return of the living dead"). opening credit is the best with jason and...( read more) with the machete that with the slashes in james bond movie "spoof" opening is the best of "friday the 13th" opening credit.

    1 of the better Friday The 13ths.I actually enjoyed it
  • September 16, 2009
    the best part in the series.
  • September 8, 2009
    A very worthy sequel(After the disappointing "A New Beginning"), and the introduction of Jason as not just merely a serial killer but a supernatural force(The lightning resurrection), an immortal entity that just won't quit until he's satisfied with his kills. It's also fun to se...( read more)e Thom Matthews from "Return of the Living Dead" as Tommy Jarvis, Jason's lethal foe. The only problem with this installment is its decrease in scare value, but overall, "Jason Lives" is good, but still nowhere near my favorite "The Final Chapter".
