It's all the same. Every movie in this fucking series is exactly the same. I can't tell the difference between these films. I can't. They're exactly the same. And they're all horrible. And boring. And cliched. And exactly the fucking same.
P.S. GREAT 3D SHOTS GUYS. REAL NECESSARY.

Not the best FRIDAY THE 13TH but far from the worst.
Right now, I'm in the middle of reading the very, very awesome book CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES by Peter M. Bracke, which exhaustively chronicles the making of each film in the series, complete with great production photos and interviews with cast, crew and Paramount brass. This is the first film in the series I've watched after reading all about its making, and it was very interesting this time knowing how difficult this shoot was (especially the cast and crew's difficulty working around all the 3D technology).
The early '80s were the last time 3D was a big deal before its recent resurgence, and back then it was more of a…

Part of Friday the 13th for Friday the 12th
Jason Vorheese + Hockey Mask = Love at first sight
The rest, as they say, was history.

The debut of the hockey mask is cool but the real reason to watch this is for the hilarious 3D gags. The fact that someone gets chopped in half while doing a handstand is pretty great also.

The speed in which these films got shat out is quite amazing if you think about it, yeah the budget is pennies compared to today's films, and the story and plot is probably written in 2 or 3 hours. But I have to admire the film makers for really raping the shit out of the massive popularity of the slasher genre inthis period of movies making, and then on top of it taking advantage of the 3D craze that came on in the same era. I understand that in years after this came out, those same notions of greed are what destroyed the horror and slasher genres, but at least these first few Friday the 13th films weren't the worst…

3-D makes everything better (in the '80s, anyway).

So far this is my favorite of the Friday the 13th film series. The funny 3d shots, the handstand kill scene, another end scare, but the greatest thing about this one is that Jason finally gets his trademark Hockey Mask. I hope that they keep the same music as in this one and the first two films when Jason aproaches, awesome tune.
PS. I'm glad that I wasn't a stupid teenager when I was young. Everyone going to Crystal Lake even after 2 slaughters. Hopefully in part 4 the kids are smarter.

It's worth noting that PART 3 was instrumental in setting the tone for the rest of the series. It defined Jason's iconic look (he gets his hockey mask), and also established a precedent for the kids generally being unlikable (an important contrast to the NIGHTMARE series), but the movie itself is awful.
The most garish aspect of this one was the gimmicky 3-D, which basically consisted of shoving crap in front of the camera - most notably in a groan-inducing yo-yo scene.

Rodada en 3D, tiene unas cuantas escenas curiosas para justificar que "salgan" objetos de la pantalla. Más allá de eso, es como un clon de la segunda parte, aunque Jason ya está perfeccionando su arte. Y con máscara por fin oficialmente!

[6/5] Slasher Masterpiece. Fell in love with Kris all over again, the absolute best 'final'.

The 3D always annoyed the shit out of me with the entire film based around the tech, but it's got some positives. The notorious mask comes from this entry and the ridiculous biker gang add a bit of cheesy charm. Not as good as many other sequels in the franchise.
