Review of Jason Lives - Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) by Movieznp — 09 Mar 2019

This is one final movie in the franchise, which was tolerable. It's dumb, no doubt, but at least doesn't take itself seriously. All these films are just a man in the hockey mask murdering people. There's nothing more to the character of Jason, with an exception of his little backstory. And since the backstory is never to be explored, I am not so interested in the character. So give us some incredibly goofy and dumb entertainment. And for the first and the last time, we get it. .

Good : Jason's kills are often hilarious. He punches someone through the chest and takes the heart out, literally. And in one scene, he even gets amused with his own strength. That's nothing great but is hilarious. And I loved it. The police officers are quite full of testosterone. They are just B or C versions of Dirty Harry. They act like they're gonna f**k your s**t up, but get killed in the end. And one particular kill, that of the sheriff, is something I genuinely liked. Hilariously, they throw some fourth wall breaking humour and the Dirty Harry reference too. For the only time, we get children at the camp. Yeah, they got it right to some degree. But, that's all. Even all of these are enjoyable in a goofy way. Other parts are just downright terrible. .

Bad : Tommy got rid of his fear for Jason, but he has the fear in this movie too, because the plot needed him to. That's the only reason why. The way they resurrected Jason is just cheesy and corny. The romance is just plain awful. And, it is a bit undertoned, but still has some cringe-worthy "sexy" scenes. The final motivation of Tommy to simply drown Jason in the lake for no goddamn reason is just stupid as s**t. He stabbed the dead corpse and looked totally f**ked up in the beginning. Contrary to that, he just wants to drown him for nothing? Oh wait wait wait. He said that the way to kill him was to drown him. Ahh, that's way! Wait another f**king minute! How did he know that? He just threw that s**t just so that we get to know what the f**k is happening. Jason's powers are just the convenience for the screenwriters. He can rip an arm off a guy, but cannot break the stupid chain he has been tied to in the end. Alright, he can at least break the stupid rock holding him down! F**k! I should not look for logic in this movie! I made a mistake. I watched this a couple of days back. I felt completely lifeless watching the Friday films in a row, so I had to take a break. That made me forget a lot of things in this film, again. That's all I can remember now. .

Conclusion : On the whole the movie was simply a dumb entertainment. If you can take the goofiness of the movie, you will be entertained. I got entertained quite a bit when I embraced the tone of the movie. I shouldn't have let myself look for logic. It made me realize that the movie was totally dumb. May be I would've got a bit more entertained if I didn't do that, who knows? I don't know or care. I watched all of these movies just to feel "complete" as a horror fan. There have been no film in this particular series, I feel like rewatching ever again. So, these are my final thoughts for this movie. I don't think my opinions for these movies would ever change. .

Rating. .

Score : 5.
