Rish Outfield's reviews
Sure, it was cliched and predictable, but this "Friday" had something the others lacked: interesting stuff going on in between slaughters. Crispin Glover was more likable than a half-dozen babes as a sexually neurotic teen-- pity Jason isn't more discriminating in who he picks off. This was definitely more well-thought-out than most in the series, and it COULD have been the last installment, had it not made a buttload of money. Tom Savini was brought back for this one--good news splatter fans!--and that also helped. A lot of the situations were pretty retarded, the acting was still shaky, and there was of course, the token unnecessary nudity, but I figure, you already knew it would be there going in. The ending IS cool, and Corey Feldman was actually pretty convincing--I keep forgetting he had talent...once.
Best Scare: I don't know, but Jason saws open this guy's throat in the opening sequence then turns his head all the way around, and that was pretty shocking.
I'd Recommend It To: Slasher and/or George McFly fans.

The tyranist's thoughts
Much better than 3. Much better. It appears that they went the opposite way of three and spent all of their money on a script and actors this time instead of on the camera. The story is still the same but at least this time we like the characters and the introduction of a Jason-hunter is cool. This one is definitely as good as 1 & 2 and in parts may be better.
