FRIDAY THE 13TH WEEK, PART III: A NEW DIMENSION IN TERROR

Third out in FRIDAY THE 13TH WEEK is naturally the third part where a group of kids decide to camp out at a family house along the lake. As Friday the 13th Part 3 takes up where the previous left off, Jason, having escaped the last horror episode, is back in his hockey mask continuing his murderous rampage around Crystal Lake. Yes. It's seriously getting repetitive as this is the third in a row on the same camp-slasher-theme. It doesn't really help that the teenage group has been integrated with some good ol' 80's bikers, or a new town loony. They're obviously late at grasping the concept that at some point in time fans and viewers alike will demand innovation. It could be anything from a different victim set up, to new death scenes, new angles and behavioral patterns of the perpetrator, etc. The positive part is that Jason is way more active in this movie, and is portrayed in a whole other way than in the previous movie. Also, giving Chrissy a past with and a history about Jason gives a different influence to the movie, but unfortunately it's too little of an influence to keep the movie from falling prey to its expected outcome.



BEST PART OF INTRO SCENE
Except from the archive footage from Friday the 13th Part 2 with Mrs. Voorhees' rotten head, it's when Edna watches the late night news reporting the massacre at Crystal Lake and the seriousness of the crime is officially stated, instead of 'Camp Blood' being downgraded to an urban legend and turned into a joke. 















BEST LINE
Chuck: How come you never scream when we have sex?
Chili: Give me something to scream about. 
















BEST NUDITY SCENE
This movie surprised me too little ass hump and too few boob bumps. I guess the best thing it gave us was Debbie's side boobs in the shower.














BEST DEATH SCENE
Andy's chop to the crotch! 

















BEST SCREAM
Chris' panicked scream as Jason enters through the broken window. Mostly my favorite scream because she sounds and looks almost like Laura Palmer, when she's getting tortured by BOB in the train wagon.














MOST GORY SCENE
This movie also surprised me with very few and non-gory scenes. I know, it's a slasher, it's not supposed to be all Rob Zombie-styled, but a few more blood stains and some spilled guts wouldn't harm a little fan girl, right? One runner up is Andy's body part crammed up on a tie beam.














BEST KILLER FEATURE
There's a tie between Jason's disgusting face turning up in the second floor window, and Mrs. Voorhees suddenly popping up from the lake all covered in mucus and worms.
