7/10
High point of an otherwise dull series.
2 March 2001
Lets get this straight; I'm a Nightmare On Elm Street man, I always will be. Personally, I don't even think the first Friday deserves any merit. So I was unsurprised with the routine opening to this movie. The single white female, the lake-side cabin, the pointless nudity. The only redeeming feature at this point(well, other than the nudity) was that there had been no messing about with plot history, something which bugged me in all the other films. Anyway, so there's this naked girl walking about and you just know she's going to get butchered. Suddenly Jason appears, surprisingly the girl does the smart thing and bolts for the door. After Jason gives pursuit she dives over her car and heads for a clearing in the trees. Jason follows and as the girl hides behind a bush he is startlingly hit by huge floodlight beams, then a S.W.A.T team formulates around him, pumping him full of lead. My jaw is hitting the ground at this point, and the fun hasn't even started. Finally Jason gets blown into a thousand pieces by a rocket launcher, and thats it right? Jason goes to hell. Wrong. What follows is some of the most exciting horror/action stuff I've seen. Ignore the sticky back plot and just watch zombie Jason walk his way through about 25+ grisly murders in this action packed beauty of a film.
