Reviews for Friday the 13th - Part 5: A New Beginning
The tone is crude, raunchy, and leering, with kill scenes combined with more nudity than usual.
This is not a fun stupid movie. This is a stupid movie that makes me want to claw my skin off.
The spiciest entry in the series, it boasts the most T&A, an incredible double homicide, a witty reference to A Place in the Sun, and yokels chopping chickens.
While it is safe to say none of these movies was particularly worth making, I believe Part 5 is the one that brought the least for our collective edification.
Like most of the film's in this series, it's seldom more than just about adequate. Love the flare-in-the-mouth kill, though.
too cumbersome for its own good, with moments of black humor that don't really work and a painful lack of imagination
