The Friday The 13th Movies Thread - Part 2

[Thundarr]

I could not disagree more. Part 6 is the best of the movies post Final Chapter, but that's not saying much.

I have a brief idea for a trilogy set on three last Friday the 13th dates of the 1980s, First film on 05/13/1988, second film on 01/13/1989 and third film on 10/13/1989.

The first film I would have it be like the original in that it's a group of counsellors rebuilding Camp Crystal Lake, to the characters in this world, the first films events are known but the legend of Jason is only a myth. The second film is set in the winter and the final film been set in October has a bit of a Halloween feel in that it's set in ry same month and it's about an early Halloween Party been done at Crystal Lake. In the final film I'd kill Jason off, but as always leave a hint that he could return.

love Part 6, it has everything that makes the franchise great

also Jason gets resurrected in the most ridiculous way possible

 

[BH/HHH]

Friday the 13th is my favourite horror franchise, even the film's I don't like that much have some redeeming qualities, I think 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and the reboot are all great.

Part 5 is decent, the Roy mystery deos not work at all but it's got a great score, Tom Morga is great as "Jason" and some of the kills are fantastic.

7 & 8 are bad movies but fun.

Jason Goes to Hell I feel doesn't work as a Friday the 13th movie but it's actually a decent movie.

Jason X is the worst, it's an awful movie but it has some great kills.

 

[StarLord]

Jason X is the least professional looking. It looks like a softcore porn with graphics made on a Macintosh from 1993.

 

[Broseph44]

I’m in a minority but I don’t even care I love JGTH and Jason X

I actually think the original Friday is kind of overrated. One of my least favorites in the franchise.

sorry but just my own personal opinion.

 

[Dave McFly]

Jason X had some great moments
"It's okay he just wanted his machete back"
*stab*

 

[KevTravels]

Jason X was hilarious. The best Canadian film ever

the remake was pretty good though I hated that they offed Killer Frost

I guess my favorite might be the 1 that scared me the most as a kid and that'd be the 1 where Jason takes on Tina. Was that New Blood?

Jason takes Manhattan was pretty damn funny with the kid who actually fought back. I think maybe the 1 where Tommy accidently brings him back to life might be the best of the series.

 

[StarLord]

The commentary for Jason X is pretty funny. Todd Farmer and Jim Isaac just ripping on each other and parts of the movie.

 

[Loki882]

Jason X at least has some campy entertainment value, and they tried some new stuff. Also sexy android wearing tight leather body suit while literally shooting Jason to pieces. That will never not be fun.

And the remake, having rewatched it recently, still holds up well imo.

JGTH has, the opening scene and Creighton Duke, but that's about all it has going for it.

Jason Goes to Hell Documentary

Fans are divided on the ninth installment of the Friday the 13th franchise, 1993’s Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. It takes some interesting risks and expands the series’ mythology, yet it hardly features the Jason Voorhees fans know and love.

The upcoming documentary The Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees: The Making of the Final Friday will provide an in-depth look at the misunderstood film. It’s directed by Nick Hunt and produced by Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus.

As the film is still in production, interview subjects have not yet been revealed. Aside from Marcus, the synopsis below promises “genre greats, both who were in the film and not.”

Through interviews and behind the scenes details, you will understand the unique landscape the series was in at the time, having just changed studios and already being on the road to the eventual Freddy vs. Jason film which wouldn’t see release for another 8 years. You will see the unusual hand Adam Marcus was dealt and the immense pressure and scrutiny which was placed on him during production. And you will see genre greats, both who were in the film and not, weigh in on Jason’s journey to hell.

In Jason Goes to Hell, you learned secrets about Jason you never knew before! In The Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees, you will understand what was and what could have been about The Final Friday!

JGTH would have worked as a generic “body swapping horror film “. However it fails as a Friday The 13th movie.

I have a similar problem with Jason X. As a generic horror movie set in space it would probably have worked. Replace Jason with a xenomorph from Alien or the creature from The Thing and you would have a pretty good “slasher in space “ style horror movie. But as a Friday The 13th movie it’s a total failure.

From Texas Frightmare last weekend. What a sight that would have been!

 

[BH/HHH]

Just a shame the Jason’s aren’t quite in the right order to them unmasked.

Awesome I can’t wait for this doc.

Happy Friday the 13th everybody.

Me and my brother (Marshall Bros. Productions) (@brosmarshall) filmed a Friday the 13th trailer over a year ago. We hadn’t had chance to really edit it until recently but it’s now available to view. We did this out of love for the franchise, we had no budget and no script. Please view and let me know what you think:

Have only seen the first movie, and then was when I was 12 or 13-- I remember finding it boring. But, it's on TV tonight, and the rest of the series over the course of the next week. Will check them out and see if it grabs me, but I'm not a big horror guy.

EDIT: Oh wait, I saw the reboot one with the guy from Supernatural on TV a few years ago. That was... exactly what I expected, I guess.

If you’re not really a big horror person you probably will not enjoy them so yeah.

Me today:

 

[Thundarr]

Just attended a late night screening of Friday The 13th Part 4: The “Final” Chapter at The Rio Theatre.

I usually make a habit of binge watching as many of the movies in sequential order in one night as I can before I gotta go to sleep. But because Part 4 was playing at the theatre and I had never seen that one on the big screen I decided to break from tradition and go see it at the theatre.

Besides, I wanted to support the #SaveTheRio campaign.

The movie is a lot of fun seeing it on the big screen like that, the way it’s meant to be seen. Still too bad that they chose to trade tension and suspense for blood and a higher body count. But still a fun ride.

 

[Binker]

Part 4 is my favorite. Fan favorite is part 6, for me though, its part 4.
