Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

geekiousmaximus Let me start off this review by saying that Friday the 13th Part VI is by no means an excellent film. It's drenched in the 80s and has a lot of very cheesy moments. But, in all honesty, I feel that this sort of adds to the charm of the movie. This was the Friday the 13th movie that knew that the franchise would never put out a legitimately good horror film to rival the likes of Halloween. Because of this, the film doesn't take itself too seriously and, as a result, we get what is probably the most enjoyable film in the whole franchise.The film starts out with a grown up Tommy Jarvis driving with a friend to the grave site of Jason Voorhees. Tommy says that he doesn't believe Jason is really dead and feels that it is his duty to put him to rest and make sure he stays dead. But, when Tommy stabs the corpse of Jason with a metal rod, lightning strikes the rod and resurrects Jason as a super-powered zombie. The rest of the film follows Tommy trying to hunt down and end Jason, while also including plenty of what we really came to see: Jason killing people in the most outrageous ways.Right off the bat, you can see an immediate problem with the plot of this movie. Tommy goes to kill Jason once and for all at the start of the film, yet if he hadn't done anything, Jason would have probably stayed dead. The story line has a lot of very strange plot holes like this. However, if you can suspend your disbelief, and just enjoy the absurdity of the scenario, you will have a very fun time. No film that starts off with a James Bond style opening is taking itself very seriously to begin with. So the audience shouldn't take it too seriously either. The fact that this film doesn't take itself too seriously works to the film's advantage in the end. Much like Evil Dead 2 or Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3, when the film doesn't take itself too seriously, it can turn out a very fun and entertaining experience. Part of what makes this experience, in the end, is just the absurdity of some of the kills. This film probably has some of my all time favorite deaths in the Friday the 13th franchise. For example, a paintball player is killed when Jason grabs him by the arm and throws him against a tree. When his face hits the free, it leaves a smiley face indent on the bark. That alone is kind of funny and will get a chuckle out of the audience. But what's even funnier is when Jason looks down and lifts up the severed arm of the paintball player, and looks at it as if he's surprised by his own strength. Bits of tongue and cheek humor like that scattered throughout the film are part of what makes Jason Lives such an enjoyable experience. In the end, Friday the 13th Part VI is by no means a good movie. there are a million plot points that don't make a lot of sense, and an incredibly forced romance between Tommy and the Sheriffs daughter. However, if you can suspend your disbelief and look past a lot of the flaws in the plot, you are in for a very enjoyable experience. A lot of self aware, tongue and cheek humor, along with some good forth wall breaking moments, really makes for a fun and enjoyable experience. This movie is a self aware horror comedy that, much like Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3, just gives the audience what they want, Jason killing people in absurd ways. I would definitely recommend this movie to any horror fan who likes some good tongue and cheek satire.

Platypuschow After the utter bust that was New Beginning the franchise finds its feet again and brings Jason Voorhees back from the dead starting a new chapter in his iconic rise to stardom.Tommy Jarvis returns this time played by Thom Mathews (Who I can't take seriously after Return Of The Living Dead 1 & 2). Sadly it in no way explains his actions at the end of the last film, you'd think that'd be the first thing they'd address.In a weird opening sequence Jason is resurrected and you guessed it, goes on a killing spree. Returning to Camp Crystal Lake Tommy seeks to end Jason once and for all! A blend of the early movies and the messy last chapter this is certainly a return to form even if it is nothing special.With a dodgy opening sequence and daft closing scene the film is badly flawed but gets by with it's vintage Jason style killing action.The Good: Some interesting kills Undead Jason > Living Jason The Bad:Weirdly comedic in placesDoesn't explain what happened since the last film Ridiculous openingNot that well made in places All this recasting for the lead is very damaging Things I Learnt From This Movie: The groundskeeper is a farthead

Filipe Neto This movie is the sixth sequel to "Friday the 13th" and brings no novelties to this abject franchise. Everything is unbelievable and the actors are worthy of a B movie. Jason returns from the grave in a providentially far-fetched manner and the characters are worthy enough for a ghastly death. Although it has a more tense and more pleasant environment than its predecessors, this still is not enough to worth the time spent to watch it.

Spikeopath An absolute hoot of a addition to the Friday 13th franchise. As is often the way with the "Friday" sequels, you can talk to one horror fan and this is the worst of the bunch, talk to another and it's the best etc etc. There's a more airy touch here and it serves the formula well, which if the series' fans are honest, is a formula that was getting stale quite early in the chain, so any sort of new ideas or direction is most welcome. After a glorious James Bond parody opens the credits sequence, accompanied by Harry Manfredini's superbly thunderous musical score, we get long running tormented character Tommy, here played by Thom Matthews, digging up Jason Voorhees' corpse so as to make sure the evil one is dead - oh and to kill him again. Enter a glorious Frankenstein homage (cheeky steal if you like) that sets us up for another round of stalk and dismember as Jason heads back to Camp Crystal Lake, which is now called Camp Forest Green!The kills are not particularly inventive, but there's a real thud of humour about much of them. From an American Express Card to a bloody smiley face imprint, it's clear the makers have a glint in their eyes. We even get an early appearance from Tony Goldwyn, some four years before Ghost would make him a known name. Adding to the quality score, which BTW rattles around home cinema speakers lie a supernatural entity, is Jon Kranhouse's cinematography, which is gorgeous in colour lens selections. All that and you get an Alice Cooper soundtrack as well. From joyful reanimation to a suitably watery finale, this part 6 delivers more than enough to almost make you rush out to rent part 7. Almost... 6.5/10
