Review of Jason Lives - Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) by Scott S — 17 Jul 2009

Friday the 13th - Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) -- [4.5] -- This movie takes the supernatural aspect of Jason to a new level. His resurrection by lightning, I suppose, gives license to some pretty outlandish kills.

But it's a bland sequel overall. There's a little too much humor (I could have done without the paint ball sequence) and rather than building any suspense, the studio once again enforced their stupid "kill every 7 minutes" rule.

It's nice to have the real Jason back (after some slight of hand in part five). I also like that there are children at Camp Crystal Lake this time, even if the filmmakers (or the censors?) refrain from letting Jason pose much of a threat to them.
