Jason resurrected, Part V abandoned
16 October 2013
They have basically ignore Part V where Tommy Jarvis becomes the new Jason. In this one, Tommy escapes from an institution and tries to destroy Jason Voorhees' body. When he digs up the body, a lightning strike resurrects Jason and he's up to killing again. Tommy tries to warn the sheriff, but the town wants to leave its past behind. Nobody believes him, and the sheriff locks him up.

This movie accomplish one thing. It brought Jason back. He's now solidified as the emotionless unstoppable killing machine. The detour in Part V has been completely abandoned.

There isn't much originality left. It's just killing for killing's sake. A lot of the kills are too random. People shows up. People gets kill. It's barely watchable. The addition of the little kids is pretty good, and had some real scares. Ultimately killing a bunch of no names isn't that compelling.
