Synopsis
In this fifth instalment of the FRIDAY THE 13TH series, Tommy (John Shepherd), the young boy who finally killed hockey-masked murderer Jason Voorhees in the previous film, has grown up and is now spending time in a home for the mentally fragile. Not long after Tommy checks in though, someone starts killing the patients one-by-one. Has Tommy picked up where the legendary serial killer left off or has Jason come back from beyond the grave to kill again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Awful, 3 Aug 2005
By A Customer
The only reason why I have given this film 3 stars is because it is part of the brilliant Jason Voorhees collection. To start off, the directing is terrible, the acting is laughable and despite this movie has the highest body count, most of the kills are either off-screen or just very badly done(only 2 were good - the flare in the mouth and the eyes crushed in by a leather strap). The soundtrack is actually quite good - the song that Tina, the rock-punk, keeps playing throughout the film is brilliant and triggered loads of wonderful memories because it was pure 80's. Ignore this sequel and head on to part 6.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bungled re-birth, 22 Sep 2004
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Friday the 13th Part 5, like Halloween 3, has a bad reputation for the most mindless of reasons - the fact that it doesn't feature the same star of the previous films in the bogeyman role. Despite being Jason Voorhees free however, this is actually a decent script, one that pushes the series on while firmly sticking to the continuity of the previous films. The basic premise is that Tommy - the young boy who finally managed to kill Jason at the end of Part 4 - has grown up mentally disturbed, and when bodies start pilling up again it's not obvious if there's a new copycat killer out there or if Tommy is doing the killings himself. For the first time since Friday the 13th Part 2 the script is attempting to add a new spin onto the increasingly formulaic teen campers/stalk n' slash routine, something which is to be applauded. Unfortunate then that this turns out to be another disappointing sequel.

Firstly the acting is pretty dire (the lead character excepted) with half of the cast attempting to play their roles as comedy: the bungling policemen are bad enough, but the comedy 'good ol' boy' and his mother are possibly the most noxious couple to ever appear in ANY film (how I cheered when they died). The film has also dated very badly thanks to it's 80's fashions, the scenes of a Michael Jackson wanabee singing to his girlfriend and a mini-Madonna doing an extended robotic dance in her bedroom are two particularly cringe worthy moments. The action scenes are reasonable, but it's very hard to care about any of this collection of the soon-to-be-dead, and the moment when one is saved by a 12-year old driving a mechanical digger explosively through the door of a barn is pure cheese.

Friday the 13th Part 5 has some nice ideas, and the twist ending is great, but the execution is incredibly sloppy. After this bungled re-birth the series would look toward re-animating it's main man to get back on track...

2.0 out of 5 stars The worst Friday The 13th movie, 3 Jun 2004
By Mark Foy "Truten27" (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I saw this on Sky Movies I was expecting to be scared with Jason doing his usual thing and him killing off all the teenagers with one girl surviving. I didn't get that...

First of all, this is not Jason but a damn crap copy cat. I'm not gonna waste the time to say who this is but it gets kinda obvious who the guy is. This one is not very scary either...the deaths are not done in usual "Jason" way and it is just mainly copies from the other movies.

It doesn't have many scenes that make you jump out but there is a little momentary scarey scenes.

The ending however is done extremly well with what happens and who does it. That probably is the only good thing about it but some of the actors/actresses played their parts quite well.
