This may be my favorite of the Friday the 13th series, mainly because of the winking, insider humor; it's almost like a precursor to Wes Craven's Scream ten years later.

Reviews for Friday the 13th - Part 6: Jason Lives
While there's a superficial been-there-done-that, why don't-we-just-mock-the-whole-thing quality to this entry in the series, it certainly livens up what has become by this point a stale franchise.

Top CriticWriter-director Tom McLoughlin strives to bend the familiar FRIDAY formula into a throwback to an earlier era of horror monsters. The results are mixed...but you have to give [him] credit for trying.

Jason pretty much kicks ass

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

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.
