JASON LIVES : FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI (1986)


JASON LIVES: FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI (1986)

Tagline: The Nightmare Returns. This Summer.

(Horror, Thriller, Ch Ch Ch, Ha Ha Ha) [R]

Some folks sure got a strange idea of entertainment.

Okay, so fans went a little nuts after PART V came out and the producers of FRIDAY THE 13TH decided to get back to business with the original storyline. We get an older (like older than in the previous movies) Tommy Jarvis who just can’t fully believe Jason is completely down for the count. So he and a friend dig the body up and after a freak accident Jason is back (a lot like KING KONG in KING KONG VS GODZILLA after GODZILLA already jack-stomped him once) and he racks up what would be his largest body count of all the films until JASON X

Okay, let me just start off by saying I loved this thing for a number of reasons. We get back to the camp where it all started, we get camp counselors running for their lives and cops that just don’t believe Tommy no matter how much he and Alice Copper tell them “He’s back..he’s the man behind the mask”. Not only did this thing have a fantastic soundtrack it also had by a long shot the best cinematography in the entire series. Don’t believe me --- watch the shot where the wind blows the leaves into the cabin where all the girls are sleeping. It’s freaking great. This is also the only movie in the entire series that has actual camp kids and not just the counselors.

Anyway, we also get introduced to a little FRIDAY THE 13TH card game and lots of outstanding actors and actresses namely Renee Jones (as Sissy) and horror icon at the time Thom Mathews (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and oddly RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD II). We also get a decent but not amazing performance from Jennifer Cooke (as Megan) who was in the original V tv series.  

If I had to recommend one film in the entire series this would be it. I give this one a 7 out of 7. Yes, don’t try and talk me out of it.
