Review of Jason Lives - Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) by Rcavey92212 — 09 Mar 2020

Although I've enjoyed all the "Fridays". This is the one where I began to fall in love. Starring Thom Matthews (The hot Tommy) of Return of the Living Dead he returns to Camp Crystal Lake to destroy Jason once and for all but ends up accidentally resurrecting him. This is where zombie Jason is born and the series begins to take on a supernatural tone. Tommy runs to the cops and they dont believe except for the sheriff's flirty daughter Megan played by a likable and very funny Jennifer Cooke (V). Jason begins to slice and dice everyone from goofy office workers playing paintball, new camp counselors and a young, hunky Tony Goldwyn (Ghost) in really inventive ways. Some of my favorites include a face through a steel wall, a head twisted all the way around and a three way decapitation. Directed by Tom McLoughlin (One Dark Night) brings an appreciated action, blockbuster edge to the material. In its opening moments when Jason arrives in an homage to 007 it's clear that the makers are not taking it seriously and neither should you. The movie is a much needed return to Jason as well as a refreshing and wonderfully entertaining take on expected material.
