Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) - Tom McLoughli


So for Friday the 13th, I have been advised, I need to watch a Friday the 13th movie. So I thought about it and agreed. I decided to celebrate this F13th movie by watching my personal favorite. That's right Friday the 13th: Jason Lives (Part VI). It is hard for me to really put to the review what my favorite things are in the movie. Or what makes this movie scary. I really just want to list everything that I think is awesome about this film. So for Friday the 13th, I submit to you my tiny review while i watch the film:

SPOILERS!!! does it matter really?
  • Parody Comedy of itself
  • The guy from Welcome Back Kotter
  • Frankenstein
  • The satire 
  • The 2nd Best of the series and actually kind of being its own type of movie. 
  • James Bond intro 
  • "Your gonna be sorry if you dont shaddup!"
  • Highest body count until Jason X
  • Should of been in 3D
  • Its kinda like Saved by the Bell on Friday the 13th. 
  • The sheriff is a great Mr. Belding
  • THE BREAKING OF THE 4TH WALL!!!
  • The entire story! 
  • I think this is the first time Jason is supposed to be a Zombie
  • Tommy Jarvis being a bad ass Zach Morris
  • Did i mention the comedy!
  • Holy crap there is Screech, AC Slater, Kelly, Lisa
  • Oh there are children in the camp this time, its like the only one to do that since the first movie.
  • Alice Cooper did the soundtrack! 
  • Fucking creative!
  • Pure Awesomeness...
Anyway that's all I am going to give you... its was a little much huhh... Well anyway I just tried it out. SO I think that the majority of the flaws in this movie are overshadowed by the parody factor. Interesting note, this is the only Jason movie to not have nudity. Although it does have a sex scene which is pretty hilarious.

This movie comes highly recommended to anyone looking for a great movie for Halloween parties or anything like that. I don't know why it isn't any more popular. For its type of film it is actually a really good movie. It is pure entertainment. So sit back relax and enjoy Friday the 13th: Jason Lives.

Directed: Tom McLoughlin
Produced: Don Behrns
Writer: Tom McLoughlin
Starring: Thom Mathews, Jennifer Cooke, David Kagen, Renée Jones and Kerry Noonan

Did ya Know: Director Tom McLoughlin took home some props from the film, including Jason's tombstone - which sits outside his house, made to look like Jason is buried in his yard - and his casket, which sits in his garage. The DVD box set includes a scene in which he shows off these props at his home, and tells of how a city employee refused to enter his yard to read the meter because he thought a body was really buried there.

This is one of the few Friday the 13th sequels that I actually like. It was the closest film to matching the look and feel of the original. Thanks for posting that video with the uncut deaths... never saw that before.
I have never been able to really decide which was my favorite Friday the 13th film before.

Truth be told I love them all. The 7th has the best effects (even if most of them were cut out) but I must admit, part 6 is one that has MAJOR rewatch value. Besides those, I really like part 5 myself. Call me crazy!

Ju-On (2000) - Takashi Shimizu

Watching Japanese horror is similar to watching British comedy. If you enjoy dry whit then you probably enjoy the boys of Monty Python in drag. That's the joke, they're dressed like women. Get it? Well, that's British humor. But if you're like most Americans you probably prefer Adam Sandler farting his way across a football field and hooking up with chicks that are way out of his league. Americans usually prefer this more in your face, crass brand of humor. My point is funny in England is different from funny in the US. The same goes for J-Horror. What the Japanese consider scary is very different from what Americans consider scary and it shows in this horror film. Japanese horror is generally slow (a little too slow sometimes), suspenseful and creepy. Ju-On is a creepy effing film. The movie has almost no soundtrack. It is incredibly suspenseful and the pay-offs are pretty awesome, but I think that it was done better in the American version (cultural t...

Humanoids From the Deep (1980) - Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T. Murakami

This is your standard old drive-in Creature Feature that has tons of gore and boobs. It's great if your in for a cheap thrill. This film goes right up along side any Roger Corman produced picture from the eighties. It's rumored that Joe Dante was approached to direct this movie but he turned it down. Humanoids from the Deep, also known as Monster, is a strange but forgettable piece of exploitation that failed to make it's notch in history. Don't let that detour you though. This is a really fun little film that doesn't fail to be entertaining.  A small sea town in California is terrorized by some mutated creatures from the deep. They look like some sort of mutated fish, merman-thing. They seem to have one goal in mind and that is raping and impregnating the females of the town. Also the town is being taken for a ride by a shifty businessman and his new corporate cannery. Could this evil cannery corporation be responsible for the Extreme Creatures of the B...

Escape From Tomorrow (2013) - Randy Moore

This review may contain spoilers. An American independent horror movie from filmmaker Randy Moore. It stars Roy Abramsohn, Elena Schuber, Katelynn Rodriguez, Jack Dalton, Annet Mahendru, and Alison Lees-Taylor. It premiered at the official selection of Roger Ebert, at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18th, 2013. Synopsis Jim is a depressed middle-aged man that despises his family life but wants to try to hold it together for a vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort. Jim receives a call before they leave and, unfortunately, Jim has lost his job as well. It proves too much to handle as this trip to the Magic Kingdom becomes a hellish nightmare. Jim’s mind cracks as we watch him deal with Disney’s seedy underbelly. Complete with elaborate corporate conspiracy, undercover sex workers, and demons. Oh and two very young French girls that Jim lusts over. It’s gross. Analysis The acting is amateurish. It’s nothing that’s going to win any awards or anything. The wri...
