So I was planning on handling reviews for Friday the 13th movies by basically rating the kills. That was to be the norm. Sadly that really cannot be the case for this one. For one, its not even really Jason. A fat annoying retard gets hacked up by a very angry nutjob with an axe at a camp for mentally disturbed people, when the paramedics arrive and see what happens, one of them snaps. Seems the fatty was his kid that he abandoned when he was a baby. So.... you know, great motivation, kid that you disowned the second he was born gets murdered and you get revenge by killing everyone in the area cause you cared so much about your abandoned kid.
Second, no good kills. I mean, the man may dress like Jason, but he sure as hell doesn't have the finesse or creativity of Jason. 80% of the kills are quick and simple stabs to the gut. That's it. No arrows slowly pushed through the throat, no folding beds in half, no sleeping bag vs. tree, nothing. Just stab stab stab.
The movie tries to get you to believe that Tommy (kid from the fourth) is the one who is acting as Jason. Being mentally unstable from his trauma and seemingly violent. But it never presents a believable case. Sure he is violent, but its always in self defense. And sure he has masks, but they seem to be his way of dealing with Jason, rather than idolization. Sure in the "final scare" scene these prophecies seem to become truth, but that's just a half assed shock attempt.
Its all by the books slasher that happened during a series slump. No magic in this one folks, just a lot a lame kills. And boobies, of course there is boobies.
*This lady right here is the only reason to watch this movie, she is fucking hilarious in every scene she is in*
