Superior to the two previous movies


For some odd reason this was more enjoyable than the ones before…

I've never liked the third movie and it's one of my least watched in the series as I don't like the 3d. It's nothing more than a gimmick and the technology wasn't there for it to work well.

I like it and all of them but part 5, Jason X, and Jason goes to Hell but I wouldn't say it's better than 1 and 2. What are things you find inferior in 1 and 2, TC?

reply

I happen to love hockey and this is the one where Jason puts on the hockey mask, creating the sports horror movie genre

It definitely is superior, IMO. This is my favorite installment of the series. I don't know why everyone likes the first one so much. Part 2 is okay, but things really started getting good with part III.

For me I think what makes part III so good is the atmosphere and also Richard Brooker's portrayal as Jason.

I know I'm in a minority, but I think my favourite will always be the first. It's a different beast for sure, but there's something about it. I love the atmosphere of that camp and the woods in the rain.

reply

Yea, you're in the minority because Jason wasn't the killer in that one
