It's kind of a nice film, and nice exploitation films are nobody's idea of a good time.

Gives us a couple of good, self-referential laughs ... the film is probably the most enjoyable of the series, but it isn't the best.

Of note: Electricity will figure prominently in just about every Friday the 13th entry from this point onward.

The sixth installment in the thunderingly mediocre series features no nudity whatsoever. Surely this is an editing mistake.

The best Jason until Jason X. Has a sense of humor and a good story.

Possibly the best Jason movie, which admittedly isn't saying a whole lot. Great Alice Cooper theme tune.

Easily the best of the series -- for what that's worth.

The only good Friday. Fast paced, funny and nicely atmospheric. Neat ending.

above all funny, a largely enjoyable near-spoof of slasher films in general and the Friday the 13th series in particular.

A sly sense of humor helps alleviate the tedium of the 6th go-round.
