FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING (1985)

FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING is the strangest entry in the original series, before things completely shit the bed forever (?) with Jason Goes to Hell. The story is after Tommy kills Jason in Part 4, he’s now a teenager in need of mental supervision. While staying at a secluded home for troubled teens he keeps seeing visions of Jason, but things get even worse when Jason shows up and starts killing people.

For the longest time I didn’t like this movie, but upon multiple rewatches I found myself enjoying it more and more. Weird story, funny overacting, random dancing, two actor from the same years THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, vintage fashions, A PLACE IN THE SUN on TV, Corey Feldman cameo, the highest amount of nudity out of all of the F13 films, the shallowest grave since ZOMBIE, attractive waitress, the highest pitched scream by a male in movie history.

Also, I don’t know why but every time I watch this movie, I expect Jason to toss Junior’s head through the kitchen window and into the pot of stew Ethel was preparing. It never happens and I always get confused. I’m so stupid.
