Reviews for Friday the 13th - Part 5: A New Beginning
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.
too cumbersome for its own good, with moments of black humor that don't really work and a painful lack of imagination
The tone is crude, raunchy, and leering, with kill scenes combined with more nudity than usual.
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.
