Review of Friday the 13th Part III (1982) by Kevin R — 05 Nov 2009

The nights are always so peaceful and quiet here.

A group of kids return to the scene of the crime from previous murder sprees at Crystal Lake. They hope to relax, enjoy some outdoor activities, and rekindle some old feelings. However, their vacation turns into a killing spree once again when a familiar masked man appears on the scene. Will the kids survive this masked killer?

?Why don?t you scream when we have sex??

?Give me something to scream about.?

Steve Miner, director of Friday the 13th Part 2, House, Soul Man, Warlock, Forever Young, Halloween H20, Lake Placid, and Home of the Brave, delivers Friday the 13th Part 3. The storyline for this picture is straight forward; however, the kill scenes are well delivered and the characters are well presented. The acting is nothing special but more than just pretty faces.

?I changed my mind. I don?t want that beer.?

I have always been a huge fan of these movies. I probably score these movies higher than anyone else; but what can I say, I like slasher films and few deliver like this series. I actually enjoy these films more than the Halloween sequels which tried to deliver an intricate storyline between relatives. The Friday the 13th series is straightforward, you go to the lake and you die. I recommend seeing this film if you are a fan of the genre.

?What would a weekend out in the country be without sex??

Grade: C+.
