WARNING: FOUL LANGUAGE AND OPINIONS AHEAD!



SPOILER ALERT!!!

Oh my gosh, deep down i want to hate this one but i actually really enjoyed it. The beginning was just too ridiculous but god i enjoyed it. Ok so the beginning confused me a bit because Tommy is the main character again and i'm like.. whaaaat? shouldn't he be in prison for killing that woman in the last movie? Why is there no mention of that? Hold on a second, i'm looking this shit up. FOR ONCE I WAS RIGHT! He did kill Pam. I want to know if he got sent to prison or not! annnywaay, Tommy thinks that the only way he can stop illusions of Jason is by going to the graveyard, digging up his body and burning it, but of course it doesn't go to plan. (I Forgot to mention that Tommy has a very twitchy friend with him) The two men dig up Jasons body and when the coffin is opened Tommy goes a bit nuts and starts stabbing the body with a metal pole leaving it in as he gets the petrol and lighter to bun the body but lighting strokes the pole and some how Jason comes back to life and kills Tommy's friend. Tommy gets in his car and drives to warn the police who just think he's a nut job and put him in a cell.
When morning comes the sheriffs hot daughter Megan and her friends come in complaining that the new counselors for the new opening camp on Crystal Lake (Now re-named Forest Green but let's just keep referring to it as Crystal Lake) have not shown up and they'll be working there all by them selves and Tommy tries to warn them about Jason but they also think he's just crazy but of course this turns Megan on. anyway they begin working but this time the kids actually show up and I'm sat here like "Ohhh fuck those kids are going to be brutally murdered". It's all going well and dandy UNTIL THE COUNSELORS START GETTING PICKED OFF ONE BY ONE BY A GUY IN A MASK!But this time the victims are not as dense as the last few movies for example when a couple encounter Jason on the road the lady says " I've seen enough horror movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly. " Common sense.
Ok so hot Megan helps Tommy out of the cell so they can track down Jason and kill him but by the time they get there all their friends and the police officers are dead (Including hot chicks dad) but none of the children are harmed *Phew* Tommy lures Jason out into the water and manages to get a chain around his neck and a huge rock thinking that he will sink and suffocate then he will rest forever because that's how he died in the first place here comes the plot twist. WE SEE JASON'S EYE MOVING WHILE HE'S STILL UNDER THE WATER!

Jesus Christ i really really thought i'd hate this film but i didn't. I enjoyed it so so so much and now i'm looking forward to watching the next one just because i'm starting to care about the characters more because they're not completely thick and like "Oh look an unlit room with noises coming from it, better check it by myself with no protection or weapon". I'm really starting to wonder why they keep opening things on Crystal Lake like is 5 killings sprees on that location not just tempting fate? and if you're going to open something up there STOP HAVING SEX! damn horny teenagers! Oh, i've just had to come back to add this because i think it's kinda important. I absolutely love how obviously Jason has come back stronger bit there are points where he pauses to look at something as if he himself cannot believe his own strength, It's a really nice touch but he also has another new trait too... Possibly a soft spot? He had many many chances to kill the kids, he even came face to face with one but he didn't kill them where as normally he would just instantly kill this time he didn't. He walked away. I don't know i guess i'll find out in the next movie.

****
Right this film gets 4/5 stars
