Friday the 13th: Jason Goes to POLL

Cool. I've only ever seen the first one, but I'm going to assume that these do not need to be watched in order.

Heh, these movies do not need to be watched, period. But VI, as I saw someone put it, is at least a real movie.

vi: jason lives
vii: the new blood
ii
tie: jason takes manhattan / jason x (basically the same movie, boat vs. space)
iv: the final chapter
v: a new beginning
i
iii
jason goes to hell
reboot

it is time to revise my rankings:

7: the new blood
2
6: jason lives
x
takes manhattan
1
4
3
5
reboot

not ranked at all, just floating in off in its own deranged universe:
jason goes to hell

Is that worst-to-best or best-to-worst? I honestly can't tell, lol.

I do know the meta opening of reboot was pretty clever, as was the meta opening of "My Bloody Valentine" reboot.

Jason Goes to Hell is the rare horror movie I turned off back when I was a dumb teen, and again when I was an even dumber adult trying to give it a second chance

Fun fact: that is the only one I've ever seen in theaters. It was pretty shitty.

it's best to worst, obv!!!! i do need to rewatch the reboot, it's been a few years, i do remember the first twenty minutes completely ruling xxp

i love them all like they are my children though, even 5 which has the home for mentally-troubled teenagers (located just a few miles from the two most annoying hillbilly caricatures ever), one of the most fucked up landscapes in the whole series and in any slasher movie

lol, VI was so much fun. Great crowd at this screening. The deputy's "Megan..." "MEGAN!" got the best laughs.

5's kinda my favorite for how sleazy and gross it is. It's of a piece with Danny Steinmann's other works, The Unseen and Savage Streets, for sure. Some kind of minor auteur of unpleasantness and tonal whiplash.

Rata-tata-tata-tata-touie!

This whole scene is so funny. Like a parody of a clever escape scene.

In a movie world populated mostly with morons, it doesn't take much to be the smart one.

*half the county has been brutally murdered*

Sheriff: I can't believe Tommy Jarvis would do this.
