\"\"<\/a>Welcome back, here we are once again, Jason is still on the loose but this time people are starting to believe the legend of it all, but that doesn’t stop another group of teenagers going on a trip to a cabin in the woods that he stalks.<\/p>\n

The casting is a-lot better in this film, the addition of a young Corey Feldman & the amazing Crispin Glover was a great move by the studio. also the script is a-lot better with the addition of the character Rob Dier (Erich Anderson) Who is looking for his missing sister and is afraid Jason has killed her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With this film the story isn’t just focused on one group it’s a focus on a family and a group of teenagers, Jason is also aware of both groups, well these are his woods!<\/p>\n

Once again the kills are brutal but that isn’t the main focus here, the film focuses more on the fear factor, the reactions of the people being terrorized and their fight for survival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One thing I have to mention is the Crispin Glover dance, it’s one of the favorite parts of the movie for me, it has me in stitches every-time I see it! IF you don’t know what I’m on about then shame on you!<\/p>\n

Once again the effects are amazing, with the return of Tom Savini, who only came back to \u00a0kill off the character he created. this was supposed to be the last “Friday The 13th” (Hence the title), I know I said that last time, but hey so did the studio haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It would’ve been a great end to the series, but money can bring any character back to life!<\/p>\n
