Jeff Loves Horror

Plot Synopsis:  After the events of the third movie, Jason was left for dead. However, when it turns out he's still alive, he begins killing teenagers again. Jason also begins targeting the Jarvis family.  Positives: The kills are easily the movie's primary highlight (or at least most of them are). A lot of them are nice and gruesome, something you would really want out of a slasher movie like this one. There is at least one kill that I think deserves the "so bad it's good" award. The intent was for it to be horrifying. Instead, it's just hilarious.

Something I actually appreciated more on this viewing were some of the more humorous moments in the film. A good chunk of those moments actually kind of worked for me. Finally, I have to compliment some of the kills. As usual, they tend to be some of the standout elements. In particular, I really like the handstand kill.  Mixed Aspects:  I honestly have mixed feelings towards the opening scene. ...
