Review of Jason Lives - Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) by Johnny T — 28 Feb 2011

"Jason Lives" isn't a bad horror or comedy movie; it's just that it doesn't deliver enough on either end. There is one legitimately good jump-out-of-your-seat moment, some amusing death scenes, and a bit of a better budget this time around. If anything, it's almost quaint when seeing the older films in this series and just how little blood there actually is during Jason's killing sprees. The special effects might seem laughable at times, but in all honesty, they come off more effective than the over the top gore the new generation of horror fans is used to these days. More blood doesn't exactly mean more entertainment. It was a simpler time then, back when Jason could hilariously stab a dude in the ear with zero blood spray.

VERDICT: "Matinée" - (Mixed reaction). These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says to pay matinée prices to see at a theater or buy an ex rental or a cheap price the DVD to own.
