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 places
Doesn't explain what happened since the last film
Ridiculous opening
Not 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
