4.0 out of 5 stars
the best,
By
This review is from: Friday The 13th Part VI Jason Lives [1986] [DVD] (DVD)
friday the 13th part 6 is the best of the popular franchise,everything was in place here to make this the best of the bunch,it had some great kills,good suspense,decent laughs and a good cast who punched above their weight perhaps to make this very watchable.
This film at times feels big budget in comparison to the other,jailbreaks,mass explosions and strong and bloody special effects combine to make this something special,as a one off this film is well and good,as part of the series it is the leader,get it.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Re-animator,
By
This review is from: Friday The 13th Part VI Jason Lives [1986] [DVD] (DVD)
From the James Bond pastiche in the opening credits to the comedy undertaker and even more comedy paintballing execs, the sixth segment in the Jason Vorhees slasher cycle was clearly making a break with its more po-faced predecessors. Although the bizarre rednecks and inappropriate cops of part 5 showed that this was the way the franchise's producers were going; part 6 really takes it to another level. Most of the elements asociated with the series are still here: the rock songs, the vacuous counsellors waiting to be slaughtered, the irate sheriff, and the machete-wielding, hockey-mask wearing Jason himself; but there are also aspects of the post-ironic humour that would become de rigeur in the nineties with films such as 'Scream' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. Essentially though this is all you'd expect from a 'Jason' movie, and with a plethora of gruesome killings and little or no real plot, there is a real feeling that the Friday the 13th well had truly begun to run dry.

The strongest of the series,

This review is from: Friday The 13th Part VI Jason Lives [1986] [DVD] (DVD)
The hockey mask is back. And it's pretty good stuff; well, for us aficianados, anyway.
In terms of technical efficiency and cinematic wit, director Tom McLoughlin's contribution to the interminable Friday the 13th franchise is the strongest of the series and a genuinely entertaining slice of eighties horror. Four out of five stars may sound generous for a film of such low-brow limitations, but to take the franchise on its own terms, and restricting criticism across and between films within the much derided slasher sub-genre, Part VI stands up as a solid piece of work. Comparison with other Friday films will illustrate Part VI's superiority: it has some semblance of a story (Tommy Jarvis, adolescent victim of Jason and now a young man fresh from a mental institution, is out to kill his old foe once and for all); the killings are executed with aplomb (a triple decapitation springs to mind); and as well as a decent sized budget on show, undercutting the horror is a certain postmodern knowingness (after finding Jason's disturbed grave, the gravedigger stares straight to the camera and with drunken indignation says, 'some folks have got a strange idea of fun.' McLoughlin, it seems, was shrewd enough to play it mostly for laughs now that the series had limped towards its sixth offering. Some of the comedy is unintentional too, of course (check out the gun that an early victim pulls on Jason - it's a little toy). But that's part of the fun, isn't it? Overall, this is a good slice of saturday night horror.
