This one just annoyed me. Full Review |

|
The tone is crude, raunchy, and leering, with kill scenes combined with more nudity than usual. Full Review |

|
Let's make it an old ending! Enough slashing and dicing!

Jason doesn't show up, which sucks. Full Review |

This is not a fun stupid movie. This is a stupid movie that makes me want to claw my skin off. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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 Full Review |

Jason's faux-comeback is a dreary and uninvolving affair. Full Review |
