I'm actually thinking about starting up some video reviews on Youtube and the Friday the 13th movies are planned as some of the first ones I'm going to tackle. Talking about it here in print just doesn't seem to be enough. Why? Because this movie is just pure fucked up awesomeness and the written word can't do it enough justice.
I can't review this movie as a normal movie watcher, I see it through the eyes of a Friday the 13th nut and as a result, I love it. This is around the time the series had Jason as an indestructable zombie, just the way I like him. It's when the movies started to embrace how ridiculous they were and just started to go with it.
The sense of humour in Jason Lives is great. Jason does this thing where he cocks his head like a dog and it just makes you want to give him a hug. The poor thing just doesn't understand. It even opens with a parody of the James Bond movie opening with Jason walking in and slashing a machete instead of shooting a gun.
The kills are pretty great and also very creative. There are some cheap effects like when you can see the rubber knife shaking around once it's stuck in the dude's head, but that just makes the movie even more endearing.
Nobody knows what the fuck I'm talking about so I'm going to stop here. Seriously everyone, go check these movies out. If I ever do decide to start reviewing these things on Youtube make sure to check them out because they are going to be epic.
8/10
