my rating: Zero camp counselors out of fifteen corpses.

what possessed me: Please.

what i learned: People who take slasher movies seriously are a silly bunch. In the last few days, I’ve seen phrases describing this series including “jumped the shark” or “no longer scary.” They get uppity when telekinetic girls are introduced to disrupt some kind of previously unblemished purity in the mythos. Really? Are there people out there still surprised by these movies? Spoiler: There’s this guy. He kills people. It amuses us. As long as Jason doesn’t start handing out kittens and rainbows, we should pretty much know what we’re getting into. That said, this one’s more of the same. Yay!

you may also enjoy: Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part 2, Friday the 13th Part III (in 3D), Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Jason X, Freddy vs. Jason.

tangential thought: How cool would it be if Jason killed someone with a kitten?
