Right, okay. I don;t think i'm ready to share my opinion JUST yet so let me walk you through the plot. Jason is once again dead. He stayed put under the water. Tina, our brand new protagonist has Telekinetic powers... Yeah, i know. When she was seven she lived on Crystal Lake with her Mother and Father when one night she sees her Father hit her Mother and runs out to the dock and into a boat with the Father chasing her and apologizing at this point she shouts "I wish you were dead" and the dock caves in on him causing him to drown. there's the back story. Her doctor claims he is trying to help her with her deep set issues but as we find out later on only has plans to expose her gift for his own benefit but now i'm getting ahead of myself. They are going back to visit Crystal Lake for a while because the doctor wants to provoke her telekinesis to understand it better but tells them it's for her own good. When they arrive at Crystal Lake which i assume has been re-named Crystal Lake because in the last movie it was called Forest Green or this is just set before "Jason Lives" although the wiki page says it is set "Years after the previous film" so.. continuity error? They are greeted by a bunch of teens staying next door to throw a surprise party for their friend (Our other Protagonist Rick's cousin). After a night of emotional torture from the doctor Tina runs out to the dock and uses her power to try awaken her father but... DUN DUN DUUUUN It's Jason. So now Jason has once again risen from the dead we're in for a lot of slaughter and can i just take a minute to say i preferred Mrs. Voorhee's approach to killing. Simple slit throat, none of the fancy stuff.
Jason kills Rick's cousin but nobody knows because they're all waiting to throw him a surprise party and know it could be a few days before he arrives. Rick invites Tina to this party and she goes because her Mother thinks it will be good for her but when she's there she gets a vision of the cousin's dead body and runs home where she tries to explain what she saw to her mother and the doctor who both think it was just a delusion. Anyway we carry on like this, Jason kills people. Sexy Rick finds out about Carrie's, I mean Tina's powers. I don't care too much for the other one's deaths but Tina's Mum's death annoyed me because get this. THE DOCTOR PUSHED HER INTO JASON TO SAVE HIMSELF! THAT CUNT! I literally shouted that out when it happened.
From here Tina is constantly trying to kill Jason using her powers, and we get a good look at Jason's face (It's been a while). And i think Jason s dead again because Jason Chases them out to the dock and pushes Rick away into a boat so Tina uses her powers to revive her Father who crashes through the dock, wraps a chain around Jason's neck and drags him under the water. Then as usual the lady passes out and wakes up in a hospital bed. WHERE'S MY PLOT TWIST ENDING?!
Okay, i think i'm mentally prepared enough to speak about this... I think i liked this movie. The parts were very hit and miss, some parts were really engaging and others, not so much. I didn't like how they bought Telepathic powers into it but damn, they did it well. I have only watched two movies that have pulled it off and they're X-men and Carrie. It definitely didn't feel like like a Friday the 13th film and but i like that they didn't just re-use a story line or bring Tommy back again. I just don't know, I'm so conflicted
I think i need to give this a 3.5 stars because it IS very in between.
I guess you should come back for tomorrows review: Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
