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
Writer-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.

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.

above all funny, a largely enjoyable near-spoof of slasher films in general and the Friday the 13th series in particular.
10/30/01
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.

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.

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

Jason pretty much kicks ass

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

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

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