FRIDAY THE 13TH WEEK, PART VI: JASON LIVES

"He's back! He's the man behind the mask." Yes, in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Jason returns from the dead to stir up a new death frenzy at Crystal Lake. Although this is the fifth movie in the installment (check out the previous posts in FRIDAY THE 13TH WEEK) to take place at a camp around Crystal Lake, I have to say it's nice to come back to the campgrounds after the preceding movie's total failure at trying a new approach.

This movie could easily be watched without having seen its prequels, as it's a classic 80's movie; it's humorous, plays fierce music (Alice Cooper's Hard Rock Summer and Teenage Frankenstein, and Felony's I'm No Animal) accompanying got car crashes and police chases, it's got a various span of death scenes and more mature actors. I would say this is probably the best movie since Part I.

Despite being a huge fan of 80's rock and the fact that some of my favorite bands had their moment of stardom around the time I was born, I was never an Alice Cooper fan girl. However, "He's Back: The Man Behind The Mask" is a great example of a classic 80's song, twisted into Alice Cooper's own little version of music making. I've seen Alice Cooper live at several festivals (amongst them Sweden Rock Festival 2006 and Sonisphere 2010) but never performing this song, which would be fun to watch considering Alice Cooper's ordinary scen art and characteristic stage performances.

BEST PART OF INTRO  SCENE
Jason accidentally getting electrocuted in his grave.

BEST LINE
Lizabeth: "I've seen enough horror movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly."

BEST NUDITY SCENE
Although not so nude- Cort and Nikki's power humping in the trailer.

BEST SCREAM
Lizabeth, screaming as her boyfriend Darren gets slashed all over the windshield of her car, crawls out of the car and falls into a puddle of mud, shortly before getting her head pierced.

MOST GORY SCENE
With not so much gore to choose from I would have to go with Jason's strangling Nikki in the back of the trailer and pushes her face into the wall.

BEST DEATH SCENE 
Burt get's his forehead smashed into a tree. And a smiley-face.

BEST KILLER FEATURE
Jason drowns. Again.
