Jason Lives may be the sixth entry in the series, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best, with self aware humor, likable characters, and memorable deaths, this is one of the best slasher films from the 1980s

I chose this over The Final Chapter as my favorite because I liked the comedy, the deaths, the characters, and the entertainment value.

La mejor de todas, personajes bastante simpáticos, un Jason mas violento que nunca y el número de muertes es el más alto de toda la saga.

This is the one where I began to fall in love. Starring Thom Matthews (The hot Tommy) of Return of the Living Dead he returns to Camp Crystal Lake to destroy Jason once and for all but ends up accidentally resurrecting him. This is where zombie Jason is born and the series begins to take on a supernatural tone. Tommy runs to the cops and they dont believe except for the sheriff's flirty daughter Megan played by a likable and very funny Jennifer Cooke (V). Jason begins to slice and dice everyone from goofy office workers playing paintball, new camp counselors and a young, hunky Tony Goldwyn (Ghost) in really inventive ways. Some of my favorites include a face through a steel wall, a head twisted all the way around and a three way decapitation. Directed by Tom McLoughlin (One Dark Night) brings an appreciated action, blockbuster edge to the material. In its opening moments when Jason arrives in an homage to 007 it's clear that the makers are not taking it seriously and neither should you. The movie is a much needed return to Jason as well as a refreshing and wonderfully entertaining take on expected material.

Years ago, Tommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews) killed infamous hockey-masked murderer Jason Voorhees (C.J. Graham), and the intensity of the experience has landed him in a mental institution. To end his torment and achieve a level of closure, TommyYears ago, Tommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews) killed infamous hockey-masked murderer Jason Voorhees (C.J. Graham), and the intensity of the experience has landed him in a mental institution. To end his torment and achieve a level of closure, Tommy escapes from the hospital and heads to the graveyard where Jason is buried, intending to dig up the body and cremate it. But, before this total annihilation can occur, a freak electrical accident resurrects Jason from the dead, and the terror begins anew. This was the very first Friday the 13th film that didn't take itself seriously. It broke the fourth wall, was self-aware, and had very funny gag's. It may not be the best in the series, but still one of the better Friday films. Final Grade is a B+.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of my absolute favorites in the series next to 4. It's got a witty sense of humor, quality kills and a great way to tie up the Jason vs Jarvis storyline. The acting is actually pretty good in this one and doesn't rely on nudity, but rather a well told story. The score is great too, not sure what the hates about. Critics are so harsh on this series for some reason.… Expand

This may be one of the greatest slashers in existence and for good reason. This is a much more comedic approach to the franchise and it mixes horror and humor near flawlessly.

This is a much more comedic approach to the franchise and it mixes horror and humor near flawlessly. The performances are pretty decent and the characters are believable and fleshed out. The atmosphere, tension, suspense was great and well crafted. The clever visual gags adds to the enjoyment of this movie. This is a great film and would recommend to any horror fan.… Expand

Hilarious and fun. If you’re looking for a serious frightening movie like the Friday movies before this you won’t find it here. Instead, you’ll find something much better.

Instead, you’ll find something much better. A hilarious comedy with well written characters and an investing plot. I can understand why many people dislike this movie but for me it’s probably my favorite Friday film. Not to mention the gore in this movie has been tuned up from the previous entries making this wild ride even more entertaining. If you watch this movie with lowered expectations I’m certain you’ll have a fun time.… Expand

Отличное возрождение серии о убийце в хоккейной маске! Сцена в начале прям кидает нас сразу в действие, Том хоть и повзрослел но сделал ошибку, потрогал то что не шевелилось.(Итог закономерен) И тут началось бац бац. Смотря на названиеОтличное возрождение серии о убийце в хоккейной маске! Сцена в начале прям кидает нас сразу в действие, Том хоть и повзрослел но сделал ошибку, потрогал то что не шевелилось.(Итог закономерен) И тут началось бац бац. Смотря на название фильма, задаешься вопросом когда же этот .... сын успокоится с миром? Как и ожидалось пранк в конце 5 части, благополучно забыли. Что опять же понравилась как и в прошлых частях, наличие детей в фильме ужасов, где людей убивают, нормально вживаются в атмосферу, куда де лагерь для детей, без детей. Еще если вспомнить в предыдущих частях были преимущественно вожатые-взрослые дети, лет 18-21( в США с 21 совершеннолетие считается), мне их уже не жаль, а вот состоявшихся людей, жаль, тут в конце прям драму нагнали, прям очень концовка понравилась. Может еще играет то что 6 часть я в первый раз смотрю, но не ночью, моя ошибка. Переживал за Главных и вообще в концовке за всех, как за себя. Мне прям понравилась, тут я бы сказал еще больше действия показывают, и по моему часто Джейсона со стороны, вообщем не очень страшно было, может уже привык к ниму, но тут он разносит конкретно.… Expand
