Friday the 13th - Part 3

Pros: Richard Brooker is a good Jason, Jason gets the hockey mask, and the final chase sequence
Cons: flat performances, a lack of gore, that cheesy disco score in the opening credits...

Friday the 13th Part 3: Paramount Pictures
Rating: USA: R/ UK: 18/ Australia: R

Steve Miner’s Friday the 13th Part 3 (or F13:3 since I’m feeling too lazy to type that out over and over in this...

Pros: Mindless, but still pretty fun.
Cons: We don't get the 3D process the movie was made for.

Okay, kids - lets recap. In the early eighties, thanks to John Carpenter changing the face of horror flicks forever, slasher flicks were everywhere in the eighties. Thanks to Halloween, it seemed that every holiday was welcomed with open arms by a psycho ...

Pros: THE HOCKEY MASK!, good kills, love the direction on this one.
Cons: It is somewhat dry than other installments, cardboard characters.

I love the Friday The 13th franchise--equally enough as the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. Although, there are two other previous installments in the franchise, I truly believe that this installment is the ULTIMATE start of the franchise. The ...

Pros: Some cool kills, different story, the hockey mask
Cons: Too much for comfort

Last time we checked in on the leader of the Slasher films, he had attempted killing every camper in a camp next to Camp Blood (AKA Camp Crystal Lake) and when he got to his last victim, she fooled Jason Voorhees and chopped him right in the head with a m ...

Pros: Improved body count, plenty of gore
Cons: Insipid dialogue, awful waka-waka music, and the pathetic 3-D effects.

Even compared to the other movies in the series, Friday the 13th Part 3 is a bad movie. The acting is awful, the special effects are laughable, the dialogue sounds like it was written by apes on crack, and this movie has the distinct...

Pros: The hockey mask, Dana Kimmell
Cons: Very similar to Part One

As I mentioned in my recent review for Friday The 13th Part 2, people who know the legend of Jason and the F13 films may automatically put "Jason Voorhees" and "hockey mask" in the same sentence. Finally, about halfway through this film we see ...

Pros: see below
Cons: see below

Due to the lukewarm box office success of Friday the 13th Part 2, the third installment was supposed to bring the series to an end. To go out with a bang, the studio figured they might be able to cash in on the 3D bandwagon. With Steve Miner back ...

Pros: Jason finally gets his hockey mask! Simply an entertaining movie.
Cons: The cheesy disco theme, some bad acting and some lame dialogue.

The Friday The 13th series remains one of the most popular (and hated) Horror film sagas out there, with it's seemingly neverending array of sequels with most of them featuring the saga's star killer Jason Voorhees, with his hockey mask, invincibility, ...

Pros: Great killings, Richard Brooker is a good Jason, good final battle
Cons: not very scary or suspenseful

I have been watching the Friday the 13th series and so far I have enjoyed the first three. I intend to watch the fourth movie as soon as possible but my local Blockbuster does not have it so I can’t review it today. Plot Friday the 13th part three ...

Pros: Richard Brooker gives a good portrayal of our old buddy Jason. Some funny kills.
Cons: That damn theme! Poor acting.

One of the slogans for this film was somthing along the lines of, "A New Dimension Of Terror". And believe me there was one moment in Friday The 13th part 3 where I was really feeling that terror. And after this review you will know what particular...

Pros: Good n' gory effects; fun chase scenes; decent acting
Cons: Too gory for the mainstream; not much plot beyond murder

In 1980 director Sean S. Cunningham's "Friday the 13TH" was
a runaway box office success. In 1981 "Friday the 13TH Part
2" was released and became yet another hit. With a cash cow
on their hands, Paramount turned out the quite enjoyable...

Pros: The arrival of THAT mask
Cons: It's still pretty rubbish folks

Although not as entertaining as some of the later sequels (namely Parts 4,6 and 8), the third installment disregards the dull expositional aspects of the first two and helpfully sees the Friday series get firmly into it's stride.

There are...

Pros: A few decent deaths
Cons: One of the worst of the series

A common experience of many who have sat down to watch FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3: You are greeted by the sounds of a heavy disco-esque drum beat along with a new wave synthesizer, followed by spectacular 3D title credits. You think to yourself: "What...

Pros: Funny, great killing, great 3D effects.
Cons: Not very much T&A

I’m a VERY big Friday the 13th fan, and out of the entire Friday the 13th movie these ones, my favorite. The main reason this is my favorite F13 movie is because it’s in 3D! Now I know you cannot find it in any store, but they do sell 3D versions on ...

Pros: great gore and better characters
Cons: climax doesn't grab you as much as the first two did

This movie was released in the theatres in 3-D. I was too young to have seen it in that format.

Many years ago when the heroine of this film was a young girl she was attacked by this thing out by the camp. She survived but no one...
