Although Friday the 13th: A New Beginning is trying a different approach to the franchise, the idea of featuring a killer besides Jason Voorhees (the first to have one that is not a member of the Voorhees-family) is just one step too many taken with lack of imagination. Or rather, lack of inspirational imagination. This movie just feels like a total rip-off from a number of different 80's landmarks. Foremost, the set of mentally unstable and institutionalized teenagers, the nightmares about the killer's return and the desperate attempts of survival from institution personnel just reeks of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Which totally sucks, since A Nightmare on Elm Street is an 80's masterpiece in my book, and this isn't.
With that being said, this is obviously not one of my favorites.

BEST PART OF INTRO SCENE
Jason awakening from his grave.
BEST LINE
Ethel: "I'm gonna chop you into itty bitty little pieces, my friend"
BEST NUDITY SCENE
Eddie and Tina's voyeur rendezvous in the woods.
BEST DEATH SCENE
Violet's death scene is voted the best due to her bad ass robot dance (which was featured on my 2011 Halloween Top 10: Macabre Dance Numbers).
BEST SCREAM
I can never remember her name, but she takes on the screaming role quite well as she wakes up to find her boyfriend dead in bed with her.
MOST GORY SCENE
Eddie getting his head wrenched around a tree.
BEST KILLER FEATURE
This one's just hilarious. First of all Jason's drowned. Then he's been stabbed, axed, hung from a rope around his neck numerous times. And what does he do when he gets his head kicked by a tiny woman's foot? He dramatically touches the side of his head, as it it's hurting. This just shows that it's obviously not Jason who's the killer.
