Review of Jason Lives - Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) by Krista B — 26 Sep 2008

The title says it all. Jason Voorhees rises from the grave and returns to his old stomping grounds, Camp Crystal Lake, to pick up where he left off. He's opposed again by Tommy, who is responsible for rising Jason from the grave. A unique entry into the series, the film contains a surprising amount of production value, and professional movie making. The movie also has a surprising amount of respectable acting. Nothing remarkable mind you, but Academy Award caliber compared to the rest of the franchise. Some good laughs and good scares elevate this one to the most mainstream level this series could reach. It also must be said that the female heroine of the movie, Jennifer Cooke, is the best looking girl in the whole series. Yummy.

Quality kill: A man is literally broken in half.
