I read that this movie was filmed in 40 days. I'm surprised it was more than 4 days.
The movie started off all wrong. Tommy Jarvis (Thom Matthews)--remember Tommy? That would have been Corey Feldman in part four. He hacked Jason to death. And in part five he was a wack job because of his Jason encounter. That same Tommy now in part six is so obsessed with Jason that he goes to Forest Green (formerly Crystal Lake) to dig up Jason, presumably to verify he's dead and buried. OK. If that's not strange enough, after he digs up Jason and sees the maggot-filled, decomposed body he rips an iron stake from the broken down fence and stabs the corpse. And if that's not strange enough, lightning strikes and reanimates Jason. WTF!
Now Jason is a zombie with the same bloodlust and super strength. The lengths that some will go to revive a franchise. No brains required just a child's imagination.
Jason then parades through the crowded Forest Green Lake area killing at will. Tommy, now actually having a real concern since Jason is back, goes to the sheriff to warn him. The sheriff doesn't believe him but the sheriff's daughter thinks he's cute so she'll help him in his endeavor because that's what cuteness does. It makes stupid girls stupider.
Maybe it's unfair for me to call her stupid just because her actions didn't make sense. She was sarcastic, she was disobedient, she was reckless, she was hot to trot, but that doesn't mean she was stupid. One thing she was for sure was lucky--I have no idea how she survived.
Tommy had the chance to flee Forest Green and watch all the carnage on the evening news, but Tommy felt a sense of responsibility. So what did Tommy do? He went to a bookstore. Yes, he went to a bookstore and bought books such as "30 Years Among the Dead," "The Dead are Alive," and "A Manual of Occultism" because now is the time to curl up by the fire and read a good book.
We get it. He needed to know how to kill a zombie. And we are to believe that Mr. Speed reader read one, or all of those books before the night was over. He must have because in only an hour or more he had the answer of how to defeat Jason. Maybe these were picture books.
At any rate, Tommy's horrible plan worked. Well, not really but what does it matter anyway? Whatever Tommy did will be undone in the next part of the franchise probably by Tommy himself.
This movie was awful. It didn't need to be made.
Final kill tally: 17, very nearly 18 because I nearly gouged my eyes out.
